‘Señor Plummer’ at Plummer Park

What: Meet Eugene Plummer, one of Los Angeles history’s most colorful characters. He clung to the days of ranchos, when his family’s land sprawled across what is now Hollywood and West Hollywood. He often dressed like he’d stepped out of a storybook, and his tales — some taller than others — were captured in the book “Señor Plummer: The Life and Laughter of an Old-Californian,” published in 1942 when he was 90. The stories come alive in an immersive theater event.

Why this? “Señor Plummer’s Final Fiesta” is presented on the last parcel of the family’s land, known to us today as Plummer Park. Rogue Artists Ensemble, partnered with West Hollywood’s Arts Division, has constructed a two-story representation of Plummer’s house and outfitted rooms in park buildings as storytelling environments, through which visitors choose their path. Using masks, puppets, music and more, a cast of 20 enacts such Plummer adventures as riding a shark, being enlisted in a transport operation by desperado Tiburcio Vásquez and keeping an eye on a pirate (or is he a surveyor?). It’s a chance “to lose yourself in a different time in Los Angeles and to meet characters based on real people who made our city what it is,” says Sean T. Cawelti, Rogue Artists’ artistic director and the show’s director.
