David Mills' Comedy Cabaret GLAMOUR + DESPAIR Extends Pangea Residency Through October
Comedy cabaret firebrand David Mills has extended his Pangea residency through October with 'glamour + despair' - his critically acclaimed, screamingly jaded look at the apocalypse.

Review: TWELFTH NIGHT at Old Globe Theatre
The production that opened June 10 at the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theater was consistently enjoyable, but never enchanting.

Review: MEMPHIS at Candlelight Music Theatre
What did our critic think oHockadoo! MEMPHIS, The Musical, running at Candlelight through October 30, is a compelling show in many respects. Memphis is the story of Huey Calhoun (loosely based on real-life 1950s disc jockey Dewey Phillips) and his mission to bring blues and soul music to a white southern audience in a VERY segregated Memphis.

The two fall in love, but must contend with social barriers, a prejudiced mother, and an overprotective brother. f MEMPHIS at Candlelight Music Theatre?
