HEAVENLY SOUND, ZERO GLITCHES: CHURCH AUDIO SOLUTIONS THAT WORK
In today’s world, crystal-clear sound isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity for any church looking to connect meaningfully with its congregation. Whether you’re delivering the weekly sermon, leading worship with a live band, or streaming to viewers at home, the quality of your audio can either uplift the experience or distract from it. Church leaders…

Dance Review: MARK MORRIS DANCE GROUP (The Joyce)
PLEASE, SIR, I WANT SOME MORRIS Mark Morris Dance Group kicks off its 45th anniversary season with a two-week sprint at the Joyce Theater. I caught Program A in which the eclectic choreographer revisits three of his works, The Muir (2010), Silhouettes (1999), and Mosaic and United (1993), and then presents a world premiere: You’ve…

London Opera Review: SEMELE (Royal Opera House)
THE SERVANT PROBLEM: OLIVER MEARS STRIPS HANDEL’S SEMELE TO ITS DISEASED CORE There’s something deeply unsettling about watching gods behave badly in a conference hotel. Oliver Mears‘ production of Handel’s Semele at the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden, which conquered Paris earlier this year, doesn’t just update the myth; it performs surgery on it,…

Cabaret Review: ASHLEY PEZZOTTI (Birdland, NYC)
IN THE TRADITION OF THE GREAT JAZZ SINGERS When Ashley Pezzotti sings, it will only take a few notes for listeners new to her manner to gratefully discover that their ears will be caressed, rather than assaulted, by her timbre and talents. Some vocalists whose main asset is being long on loveliness and legato lines…

Theater Review: 5:45 (Little Theatre at Actors Company)
OFFTIME Abi Watkinson’s one-woman show 5:45 is a poor receptacle for a great deal of talent—one that feels underdeveloped and not fully thought through. The trouble starts with the title. A good title should grab attention, pique curiosity, and function as either clue or bait to lure in a potential patron: The Hundred Years’ War…

Theater Review: DOG OF CARNAGE (Broadwater Studio)
A TAIL OF LOVE ON A LEASH Playwright Benjamin Schwartz and director Natalie Nicole Dressel, in league with actors Callie Ott and Spencer Weitzel, have served up in Dog of Carnage one of the sharpest comedies in the Hollywood Fringe. Set in a courtroom—presided over by a grating, tonal, squawking, authoritarian judge—Ott and Weitzel are…

Cabaret Review: MS. TUCKER WILL SEE YOU NOW (Davidson-Valentini Theater at the Los Angeles LGBT Center)
NOBODY LOVES A FAT GIRL (UNTIL SHE HAS A MIC) Laural Meade has treated the concept of the solo-bio show like an origami master, folding it over and out until it becomes something other than what it is. Meade starts with the woes of Russian-born American singer, comedian, and legendary vaudevillian Sophie Tucker (1886-1966). “The…

Music Obituary: SIR ROGER NORRINGTON
THE METRONOME REVOLUTIONARY Sir Roger Norrington, who died on July 15th at the age of 90, spent his career making enemies of the right sort. Traditionalists loathed his brisk Beethoven. Period purists found his scholarship insufficiently dogmatic. Modern orchestras discovered, to their dismay, that he expected them to actually read what composers had written in…

BACKSTAGE RITUALS: HOW PERFORMERS UNWIND AFTER THE FINAL CURTAIN
The audience applauds. The lights dim. The curtain falls. But for performers, the show is far from over. After hours spent on stage delivering emotionally intense scenes, belting out high notes, or dancing with precision, the body and mind need time to reset. What happens after the performance is just as important as what takes…

LITERATURE THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY TRANSLATED TO THE SILVER SCREEN
It is not an easy endeavor to translate books into movies, though one that has been done for decades by filmmakers. Books made into movies are just so full of great stories, characters of such depth, and worlds so richly detailed to be explored that they are ideal material to be given life on the…

London Review: MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO (Gillian Lynne)
WHAT THE FOREST KNOWS: TOTORO AND THE RADICAL ACT OF WONDER There’s something profoundly radical about a piece of theatre that trusts its audience to believe in wonder. The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of My Neighbour Totoro, now enchanting audiences in its West End transfer at the Gillian Lynne Theatre after breaking box office records…

Film Review: LES MUSICIENS [THE MUSICIANS] (Directed by Grégory Magne)
A QUARTET WORTH TUNING INTO Les Musiciens (The Musicians) is a comedy that is not afraid to be intelligent. It’s a welcome cinematic entry for discerning moviegoers who care about more than superheroes and vampires. The engaging and well-paced plot is about the creation of an impossible concert by a quartet of musicians who’ve never…

Highly Recommended Theater: GRETEL! THE MUSICAL (Riot Productions in San Diego)
BEFORE HANSEL, THERE WAS, HELL YEAH, GRETEL! Witches. Talking dolls. Folk and rock music. Chicken-legged houses. If that doesn’t get your attention, then you may already be inside Baba Yaga’s oven. From July 20 to 27 at New Village Arts and Scripps Ranch Theatre, Riot Productions is going to cast a spell over San Diego…

Off-Broadway Review: THE GOSPEL AT COLONUS (Little Island)
BIG GOSPEL ON LITTLE ISLAND Greek religion and Christianity had very different views on the nature of God and salvation, but the current revival of The Gospel at Colonus still manages to turn Little Island into a Pentecostal revival meeting. The show is based on an adaptation of Robert Fitgerald’s version of Sophocles’ Oedipus at…

Theater Review: JUST TO BE CLOSE TO YOU (Broadwater Stage)

Poter is a…

Cabaret Interview: DAVID BURNHAM (Appearing in “The Tom Jones Songbook” at CV Rep)
IT’S NOT UNUSUAL TO LOVE DAVID BURNHAM The tenor is back in the desert with a Tom Jones bang— and a burning bush in his future.

Theater Review: NO (Eastwood Performing Arts Center)
SOUNDCHECK FOR SURVIVAL “Aha…sure…uh-huh…yes…ummm…you say….†And so begins NO, dancer/actuation artist Annalisa Limardi’s intriguing, minimalistic dissertation on the social pressures exerted on women, and men as well, to be amenable, positive and passive to the point of evaporation. Limardi hurls about the sizable stage at the Eastwood Performing Arts Center, weaving in and out of…

Theater Review: OH, CONSTANTINE! (Zephyr Theatre)
NICAEA TRY Oh, Constantine! at the Zephyr Theatre is an odd nut to crack. Or I should say review. One of the best-produced shows at the Fringe, this is the brainchild of playwright / director / producer Jan-David Soutar, with producers Athena Rethis and Clent Bowers, production designer Courtney Stepleton, lighting designer Miles Berman, and finally…
