Theater Review: AN OCTOROON (The Fountain Theater in L.A.)
THE PLAY’S THE THING It’s no wonder that Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ brilliant adaptation of Dion Boucicault’s 1895 suspenseful melodrama The Octoroon is eight times better and more exciting than any other offering on America’s stages. It speaks to the current conversation of race in America while presenting a rather unknown actual nineteenth-century play that is rife…

Opera Review: DON PROCOPIO (Pacific Opera Project in L.A.)
SILLY PROCOPIO LEFT ME IN OSTRITCHES Well, last Sunday night, courtesy of Pacific Opera Project’s presentation of Don Procopio, I had my first foray to a live production since the pandemic put a pause on live performances (and as long as I’m alliterating, we packed a pleasant picnic perfect for piggery). While I had attended…

Virtual Theater Review: THE LAST FIVE YEARS (ICT, Long Beach)
HIGH FIVE Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years is contextually brilliant: it is a two-character musical that starts at the end of a five year relationship for the woman, but at the beginning for the man. Her songs go backward in time and his forward. In the middle of the 85 minute, intermissionless show, they…
