Theater Review: THE AVES (Berkeley Repertory Theatre)
THE WAITING GAME HAS WRINKLES As Bette Davis’s sampler cushion said, “Old age ain’t no place for sissies.” We start to lose our memories. Our bodies start to ache as our strength and endurance fade. People that we love and care about die or move away. Bill Buell In the aves, now premiering at Berkeley…

THE EVOLUTION OF IMMERSIVE THEATER: ENGAGING AUDIENCES BEYOND THE STAGE
In recent years, immersive theater has gained a lot of attention for changing the way we experience stories on stage. Unlike traditional stage shows, where you just sit and watch in rows from afar, these new productions pull you into the story itself. This form of performance blurs the line between actors and viewers, making…

Theater Review: BRIGHT STAR (Lamplighters Community Theatre in San Diego)
COMFORTABLE HOMEY FOLK SHARE A SWEET STORY Book and music creators Steve Martin (yes, THAT Steve Martin) and Edie Brickell heard a true story from 1902 and became somewhat obsessed with it. They brainstormed a purely fictional account of what could have led up to that moment (most of Act I), the actual moment itself…
-
Theater Review: STUPID FUCKING BIRD (Blue Pen Theatre)
THIS BIRD AIN’T SO STUPID There is a strange little niche tucked away in the theatre world which, for lack of a better term, could be called “Travesty Theatrics.” It’s when a classic drama is taken and reworked as a caricature, parody, or mockery of itself. (More on that later.) A new, actor driven company,…

Off-Broadway Review: FIVE MODELS IN RUINS, 1981 (LCT3 at the Claire Tow Theatre, Lincoln Center)
THE BACCHAE WEAR BRIDAL You remember the Bacchae – don’t you ? – those wild women of Thebes in Euripides’s ancient drama who, transformed by Dionysus, terrorized Pentheus’s kingdom with their orgiastic violence? Well, they’re back, raging again, in Caitlin Saylor Sterling’s strange and exotic new play at Lincoln Center, Five Models in Ruins, 1981….

Theater Review: THE BOOK OF WILL (Ross Valley Players)
WHERE THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S A BOOK Where do playwrights get their inspiration? Brava to Lauren Gunderson, who took hers from actual historical events and created a believable backstory with characters to support it. Malcolm Rodgers (John Hemminges) and Fred Pitts (Henry Condell) Three years after William Shakespeare’s passing in 1616, the Globe Theatre had…

Off-Broadway Review: THE LAST BIMBO OF THE APOCALYPSE (The New Group)
GOES FROM A Y2K POP TO GEN ZZZZZZZZ There was a buzz of anticipation in the air as the house lights blacked out at the Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theater—an audible fandom of excitement. Had clips already surfaced on TikTok? Had a cast recording dropped early? Or was it a lure of past performances: America’s…

Recommended Theater: SEVEN & THE KELLOGG MURDERS (Palm Springs Young Playwrights Festival on June 8)

Theater Review: A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE (A Noise Within)
Wilde at Heart: The Quiet Theatrics of A Man of No Importance Some musicals don’t announce themselves. They drift in quietly, settle beside you, and before you know it, you’re sitting there, wrecked, wondering when the tears began. That’s the spell cast by A Man of No Importance, now playing at A Noise Within. Based…

Broadway Review: JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN (Booth)
JOHN PROCTOR GETS CANCELLED In an honors English classroom at a county high school in northeast Georgia, seven juniors are cracking open Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Mr. Smith (Gabriel Ebert), a charismatic and respected teacher, leads the discussion. He poses a deceptively simple question: “Why are the girls dancing in the woods in the first…

Theater Review: HAMILTON (National Tour in San Diego)
NOT YOUR GRANDMA’S 1776 Until Hamilton, if you’d asked me if I liked rap music, you’d have gotten a pretty quick, “No.” And I still do cringe at the memories of cars driving up my street with offensive lyrics played at sonic boom levels, because that had been my primary exposure to rap. So why…
-
Art Review: BECOMING THINGS, BECOMING TIME: BOLMAHAN AT DELIGHT GARDEN (ARTECH in NYC)
The love affair between art, technology, and imagination is nothing new. Jeff Koons creates small-scale models, digitally scanned and mapped, but he didn’t spend years hand-carving his silly balloon dogs. Likewise, Gerhard Richter never wondered out in the woods foraging for flower pigments for his still life works. Technology has always helped the arts. In…

Cabaret Review: JENNIFER ROBERTS: SHE LOVES… SHELDON! (Green Room 42)
HARNICK…HEARTFELT & HEARTWARMING Sheldon Harnick, who passed away in 2023 at age 99, is alphabetically in good company among the great Broadway writers. His name comes after E.Y. “Yip” Harburg — whose work and personal encouragement inspired him as he began his career — and the witty Lorenz Hart, but before Jerry Herman, who similarly…

Theater Review: FOREVER PLAID (Palm Canyon Theatre)
A HILARIOUS DRIVE DOWN MEMORY LANE Of course I love a big musical with choruses singing and dancing, but on reflection, several of my favorite shows have intimate casts such as Nunsense, The Fantasticks and the original You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Firmly holding a place on that list is the four-hander Forever Plaid,…
