June 11-14 ? Nicholas Studio
How to be a Rock Critic
based on the writing of Lester Bangs
written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen
performed by Erik Jensen and directed by Jessica Blank
Studio SCR
Manic. Impossibly creative. Dead of an overdose at 33. Lester Bangs was arguably America's greatest rock critic and the first to anoint the "punk" movement. His faith was shattered as the rebel ethos of the '70s gave way to the corporate pop of the '80s.Through his own words, this solo play sheds light on a groundbreaking, pioneering voice in music. This is co-production with Center Theatre Group (CTG).
Tickets: Prices range $25-30; student and MyStage (ages 15-25) discounts are available.
Dates: Performances at SCR run June 11-14. Performances at CTG run June 17-28.
Show times: Thursday-Saturday evenings at 8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Kikiricaja: Una Historia De Payasos
by Miguel Ángel Garrido Ramón
directed by Raymundo Garduño

Studio SCR
Loosely translated as Cock-a-doodle-doo Box: A History of Clowns, Kikiricaja: Una Historia de Payasos is a three-person play that tells the story of friends Bartolomeus and Comino, who live in beautiful wooden boxes where they dream, eat, play and invent worlds. Full of moments of happiness and sadness, fights and reconciliations, travel and adventure, this delightful piece shows how friendships can help us face the fears that make us feel small, and celebrate the hopes that make us feel like giants. The production is performed entirely in Spanish, but fluency in the language is not required to enjoy the show. Presented in association with La Jolla Playhouse. Recommended for ages 7 and above.

Sept. 11-Oct. 11 ? Segerstrom Stage
One Man, Two Guvnors
by Richard Bean
based on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni
with songs by Grant Olding
directed by David Ivers
Gleeful critics have cheered from London ("deliriously daft and diabolically joke-stuffed"- Independent) to New York ("splendidly silly"-The New York Times) over this delicious farce set in swinging '60s Brighton. Francis, a failed washboard player with an insatiable appetite, finds himself in the employ of both Roscoe, who is really his own twin sister (in disguise), and Stanley, a well-bred twit (who actually killed the real Roscoe). And that's only the beginning! In this adaptation of The Servant of Two Masters, food flies, pants drop and madness abounds, to the tunes of a live band (minus its washboard). A co-production with Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Middle school and above. Contains occasional adult language and innuendo.
Tickets: Prices start at $22
Dates: Low-priced previews: Sept. 11-17; regular performances: September 19-Oct. 11.
Show times: Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. There is no evening performance on Sunday, Oct. 11.
