The Echo Theater Company, named LA Weekly's a?oeBest Bet for Ballsy Original Plays,a?? presents an online reading of a three-course play with recipes by Kira Obolensky. Ingredients: a middle-class Midwestern family, a modest urban kitchen, a larger-than-life mother who visits, a striving woman, a somewhat supportive man, and a daughter named Hurricane. Mix with the world outside, the never-ending attempt to nourish and be nourished, and a 21-year time span filled with changes, both epic and ever so small.

“Don't say that. The words used to describe women. If she was a man, you'd say she was formidable or bold or right.” Amen!

BWW Reviews: Greenway Court Rings THE BELLS OF WEST 87TH
Sitcom, from TV to stage, is primarily the first impression of Elin Hampton's The Bells of West 87th, now onstage at the Greenway Court Theatre through October 13. Hampton comes from TV and most writers of that genre can easily get 'trapped' - like Molly in the play - into the oh so familiar situations, and the fast/clean/neat comedic setups that we are used to seeing on the tube. There's one exception here, one big one, in fact: Hampton's characters as played by a vibrant cast are far more eccentric than usual and grab us deliciously from the start.
