Review: FARM HALL at Pico Playhouse


by Evan Henerson - January 25, 2025

The production’s thrifty staging directed by Judith Hendra for Topanga Actors Company feels stagnant instead of urgent, indifferent where it could have been thought-provoking....

Review: South Coast Repertory Presents WISH YOU WERE HERE


by Michael Quintos - January 20, 2025

Directed by Mina Morita, the play—an emotionally-absorbing drama with sprinkled bits of comedy—is, at its core, a poignant exploration of deep friendships, colored by a devotion to cultural and religious identity and the fears of displacement and upheaval set against the backdrop of Iran's political...

Review: DEATH OF A SALESMAN at Colony Theatre


by Harker Jones - January 21, 2025

The themes in DEATH OF A SALESMAN are universal and timeless, though that doesn’t mean they always resonate. Firmer direction and better sound would have elevated this production so that it landed with more heft....

Review: THE CIVIL TWILIGHT at Broadwater Studio Theatre


by Evan Henerson - January 02, 2025

Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE Musical Tour Zooms Into Segerstrom Center


by Michael Quintos - January 01, 2025

A riotous, mostly silly, but also sometimes laughably odd theatrical entity, this touring production of this enjoyable, endearingly-familiar stage musical adaptation of the hit 1985 sci-fi comedy is definitely a fun time—but mostly due to its visual wow factor. For those who cherish the original fil...

Review: TROUBIES’ HOME ALONE-LY HEARTS CLUB BAND at Colony Theater


by Evan Henerson - December 15, 2024

The mixture this time around is entertaining if not the company’s A-game. HOME ALONE-LY HEARTS CLUB, while providing plenty of laughs, feels thin…thin on merriment, thin on satirical edge and certainly thin on script....

Review: LITTLE WOMEN BALLET at Wilshire Ebell Theatre


by Amanda Callas - December 13, 2024

Little Women Ballet is the world premiere of a charming new ballet at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Mid-Wilshire.  This is a lavish, romantic, nostalgic, family-friendly night of dance that is not to be missed....

Review: LIFE & TIMES OF MICHAEL K at Cape Town's Baxter Theatre And Handspring Puppet Company

Review: THE GIRL WHO MADE THE MILKY WAY at The Colony Theatre


by Amanda Callas - November 20, 2024

Written by acclaimed actress and playwright June Carryl and produced by Imagine Theatre, this light-hearted, fantastical voyage through the savanna is inspired by folktales and origin stories from South Africa.  There is a charming Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland feeling of whimsy and adventure af...
