San Diego Musical Theatre Brings the Vintage Broadway Flair  

The Kearny Mesa-based company went all out with a hefty cast of 20 performers and lively, pumped-upchoreography by Xavier J. Bush. Omri Schein directs the actors through naughty, pun-filled dialogue, striking a balance between the sixties’ machismo/patriarchy and comedic relief.

Is the Scientific Method Always Right?

I praise NVA for the work and visual effort of this production, and congratulate them on 25 years of work and on Kristianne’s 40 productions. Wow, it is definitely not easy.

Onstage Playhouse in Chula Vista Opens 42nd Season with “Swing State.”

I have mentioned this before. Onstage maintains this continuity by keeping the game strong with these thriller-like feel-play moments, having audiences glued to their seats through discomfort, questioning, or just following along.

I would never have imagined starting my 2026 theatre year with an interaction with Monty Python, but here we are…

If you are familiar with Monty Python, this production feels like a joyful reunion. If you’re not (like me), it works surprisingly well as an introduction.
