Collage Dance Theatre says: Collage Dance Theatre will present its and critically-acclaimed show Laundromatinee in Historic Filipinotown in Los Angeles on Friday, April 23 and Saturday, April 24, 2010. Laundromatinee first delighted viewers and washday customers at Thriftiwash Laundromat in Santa Monica in 1988. The show was reprised for Launderland in Culver City in 1998, in 2006, at the Sitelines Festival in NYC, receiving a rave review in the New York Times and in 2008 in the City of West Hollywood.

It is only fitting that for Collage Dance Theatre's 25th anniversary, Heidi Duckler's signature work, Laundromatinee, is reprised in a new community in Los Angeles. This work celebrates the local coin-op as a community gathering place, a once-common neighborhood fixture that in recent years has been falling prey to urban gentrification. Its premiere performance was rated "one of the decade's best site-specific works in Los Angeles" by Dramalogue, and one of the top dance events of 1988 by the Los Angeles Daily News.
