This is not just a reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet; this is a spotlight on the many discrepancies and injustices women continue to face. Directed by Kim Strassburger, the play is practically brand new, having debuted last year at The Folger in DC, and now making its San Diego premiere with the most fitting theatre company.

The Play That Goes Wrong is exactly what the title promises: chaos, confusion, missed cues, collapsing sets, and absolute theatrical mayhem. Written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, this production, directed by Robert Smyth,  fully embraces the madness while never losing control of the comedy.

There comes an age when, instead of thinking about your grandparents or parents, you think about yourself. And that is what happened to me seeing Onstage’s latest production, The Velocity of Autumn by Eric Coble. Set in an apartment in Brooklyn, Alexandra (Linda Benning) is an artist in her 80s and the mother of three. She has barricaded herself in the apartment because her two older children consider it better to put her in assisted living. The youngest son, Chris (James P. Darvas), who has been estranged for two decades, returns at the petition of his siblings and to buffer the situation.

Now that the movie Michael is in movie theatres everywhere, it is very pertinent to revisit this chapter of the King of Pop’s story. The plot of the musical is set during all the preparations for the Dangerous World Tour in 1992, amongst various allegations surrounding the singer’s personal life and spending habits. The timeline alternates between Michael’s childhood and his rise to fame until 1992. Showing the causes of stress for the popstar like family pressure, mostly from father and former manager Joe Jackson, as well as large budgets and creative longings.

The hilarious two-act play, in a Ludwig manner, keeps on giving minute after minute, having the audience’s brain do a workout to catch up and stay engaged thanks to Dixon Fish’s bright yellow set design of Elena’s hotel suite, which is divided into two areas, with a living room and the bedroom. And in true vaudeville manner, a number of doors for everyone to come in and out, with tremendous slams. Props are always fun, and Duane McGregor had us join in the fun with different elements like a suitcase, a champagne bottle, and a hilarious bit with a grape that has to be seen.

Sarah (Katrina Michaels) is dating Chris Cringle (Benjamin Cole), and yes, like Santa… Things are going well, except that Sarah has not introduced Chris to her family after months of dating because he is not Jewish. Shabbat is happening at Sarah’s, and instead of facing the facts, she enlists Bob Schroeder’s (Sam Ashdown) histrionic services to buff out the tension with her brother Joel (Josh Cahn) and parents, Abe (Joel Polis) and Miriam (Jill Remez).

Looking back, I think WOW, very pertinently, as I have lost count of how many of these festivals I have been to. From the very beginning at The La Jolla Playhouse campus, to Liberty Station, to The Shell, to UCSD. The celebration of artistry in its maximum expression.

Airness by Chelsea Marcantel revolves around air guitar competitions, from local to national to international. I always mention on here that theatre is both memory and learning. I did not know that air guitar competitions were a thing. Like, a real thing. Now I do, lol.

The plot takes place in Ben Affleck’s apartment as he (Alejandra Villanueva) is trying to do a screen adaptation of J.D. Salinger’s classic novel, The Catcher in the Rye. Matt (Maya Sofia Enciso) wants to help his best friend, but has other priorities like an important callback. In between silly exchanges and pizza eating, the script for Good Will Hunting falls from the ceiling. After they read it and see its golden potential, they get excited and decide to produce it. But what about the casting? Who is going to play Will Hunting?

The story of three Bavarian Jewish brothers who came to Montgomery, Alabama, in the late 1800s with nothing and gradually built an empire that would last almost 200 years, ending in shattering fashion.   A running time of three hours and forty minutes with two intermissions, ‘Trilogy features Jacob Caltrider as Mayer Lehman; Steven Lone as Emmanuel Lehman; and Bruce Turk as Henry Lehman. Massini’s work is well-crafted, and each act covers important periods in history
