BWW Reviews: PASSION PLAY Explores the Line Between Authentic Identity and Scripted Performance
It's been awhile since I can honestly say I was emotionally overwhelmed by a night of theater. There are so many thoughts wandering in and out of my mind that I hardly know where to begin except to say that religion, politics and theater collide superlatively under the imaginative and quick-paced direction of Bart DeLorenzo in the Los Angeles premiere of PASSION PLAY at the Odyssey Theatre.
Odyssey Theatre & Evidence Room to Present PASSION PLAY, 1/25-3/16

Performances begin Jan. 25 at the Odyssey Theatre in West L.A. and continue through March 16.
OCPA to Present Three New One-Act Plays, 10/5
Unexpected arrivals, and stylistic departures ... the three one-act plays presented in staged readings by the Orange County Playwrights Alliance on Saturday, October 5 present just that. Fullerton's STAGEStheatre hosts the latest OCPA event, featuring the works of 3 produced OC playwrights and actors and directors from across the Southland.
Odyssey Theatre and Evidence Room Present IVANOV, 4/14-15
Award-winning director Bart DeLorenzo returns to the Odyssey to direct an exuberant and burlesque-spirited version of Anton Chekhov's Ivanov, the story of a once idealistic man turned apathetic from a life going terribly, terribly wrong. DeLorenzo plans a fresh approach to this little-known classic -- no birch trees, samovars, or wicker furniture - in a riotous production that promises to be ridiculous, soulful, and sexy. An Odyssey Theatre and Evidence Room co-production.
