Theatre Influencers and Theatre Critics

This has to do with the uneven practices that some theatres (not all of them, as there are always exceptions) have had throughout the ages, from targeting shows to quoting and using outlets. And, dear reader, truth be told, my husband scolded me for the said paragraph.

Interviews From Another Zero

I had a lovely conversation with one of the Co-Founders of the San Diego Halloween Film Fest, and it was great to learn more about her artistry, the festival’s dynamic, and, of course, her other zeros. The interview is available on our YouTube channel, but I am including it here too, along with more information on the event.

SMALL – Robert Montano’s Autobiographical Monologue is Full of Heart

The true story of Montano’s teenage dream of becoming a jockey. At just 14, he began training with unshakable determination. But the cold reality of height and weight requirements quickly turned his passion into a battle with his own body. A fight that ultimately became a health hazard.

The Old Globe’s World Premiere Huzzah! Is a Musical Party Feast.

I absolutely loved the juxtaposition of the hilarity and the business side of the faire. Something that is not typically explored/exposed to audiences but is often discussed in the performing arts world, especially now with all the budget cuts and increased costs.

Love, Madness, and a Killer Voice: Jekyll & Hyde Thrives at SDMT

Omri Schein directs the SDMT piece, and it is a solid production. The musical is long. It has always been long. Regardless, Schein and Richard Dueñez Morrison, in the musical direction, ensured it had a good rhythm, effective framing, and effective use of the stage.

In a House Full of Ghosts, Who Gets to Heal?”

What is happening with this story is a lot all at once. It felt like mini story lines that could each be a different play.

From a Cabaret Experience to a Theatrical Production

Diversionary Theatre began their new season “manifesting”. Because, as the description states, this “Glam Rock Odyssey” lends an authentic experience in various ways.

Follies Opens Cygnet Theatre’s New Season and Home

I had never seen a production of Follies before. Still, this one is a showstopper in every sense. The company truly embraced a round experience, as this production definitely pushed the envelope.

The cast of North Coast Rep's play "Beside Myseld"

North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach Welcomes New Season and New Play

The comedy runs around two hours with an intermission, flows nicely, and is very entertaining. It has the NCR slapstick feel and look

Moonlight Theatre Brings “The Prince of Egypt” Under the Stars

For me, Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, considered rock operas or rock musicals, have an added je ne sais quoi that sets them apart. It might be because I grew up Catholic, learning about these stories.  Moonlight Theatre is closing its season with The Prince of Egypt, which I consider to be a part of this category, and a musical that is not often produced.
