Review: SHUNNED at Palm Canyon Theatre

Upon sitting down to see Palm Canyon’s newest production, 'Shunned' written by Larry Parr, I was admittedly ignorant of what I was about to behold. 'Shunned' offers a compelling exploration of the Amish way of life, juxtaposing tradition against the inevitable pull of modernity. The nuanced performances of the cast bring depth to characters who are wrestling with the desire to honor their heritage while confronting personal dreams and societal change. 
Feature: SHUNNED At Palm Canyon Theatre

Review: Palm Canyon Theatre STEEL MAGNOLIAS

Palm Canyon Theatre’s “Steel Magnolias” was the first dramatic work in their primarlily musical season and, wow,  it was the perfect artistic choice! The story revolves around Shelby (no, NOT me) played by  Erin Shull, and her life in the small town of Natchitoches Louisiana where love, sass and hairdressers fill the air. If you’ve seen the film, you know what an absolutely briilliant and engaging  piece of theatre this is. Timeless!

Palm Canyon Theatre presents the heartfelt Southern Classic Steel Magnolias.

Like many small close-knit communities, Chinquapin, Louisiana includes an entertaining cast of characters such as a town curmudgeon, an eccentric millionaire and a local social leader.

BWW Review: THE CHRONICLES OF BEEBO BRINKER at Desert Ensemble Theater

Pulp fiction got its name from the low-quality, pulpy paper the stories were printed on, not the content. However, 'pulp' became synonymous with trashy, back alley reading punctuated with cheap sensationalist thrills, fast-paced plot lines and bad writing. Tell that last bit to John Lange (aka Michael Crichton), Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and Dashiell Hammett (The Thin Man, and Sam Spade) who have all had off-shoot careers in pulp.
