BWW Review: FOOL FOR LOVE Intensely Rivets After Bewildering Start
A mesmerizing second half more than compensates for a curious first in Sam Shepard's FOOL FOR LOVE, the Los Angeles LGBT Center's entry into the 2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival. With the four characters' relationships peeling open like layers of an onion, the last half explodes with the actors' intensity and their quite evident acting talents.

Crown City Theater Co Presents Bill Barker's BEST WISHES
Crown City Theatre Company is proud to announce the opening of 'Best Wishes,' a play by Bill Barker being done for the first time in Los Angeles since it's amazing run in 1984.
Bill Barker's heartfelt, comedic and personal play about a large family get-together in the rural town of Liberal, Kansas touches every audience member in a different way. There are so many strong characters that remind us of ourselves (or our siblings) that one can't help, but laugh along or get involved in their lives.
This is the story of one of the largest families in Kansas coming together to pay their last respects to their mother. They are also paying their respects to the house they all grew up in and for some of them the small town that they know they will never visit again.
