Don Grigware Announces His Best in LA Theatre for 2012
by Don Grigware - Dec 24, 2012
The choices I have made are based solely on the plays and performances that I actually saw.

BWW Reviews: Original Musical JUSTIN LOVE Rocks Celebration Theatre
by Don Grigware - Sep 25, 2012

Justin Love, based on a story by David Elzer and Bret Calder, is one such musical, that , in spite of its excess, is guaranteed to make you laugh nonstop and with a cast and crew to die for.
