Bag&Baggage Presents PETER/WENDY

"It's not some new crazy adaptation, but the story stripped down to its bare elements," says playwright Jeremy Bloom when discussing his 2013 play Peter/Wendy, an adaptation of J.M. Barrie's Peter and Wendy and The Little White Bird. "The book was intended to be read aloud to children, but it was also written and continuously rewritten by a person in a state of perpetual loss." Bag&Baggage Productions takes its nod of inspiration directly from Bloom as they bring his script to life this May, working with sparse yet highly imaginative staging, and leaning into some of the darker elements of the narrative.
BWW Review: SINGIN' IN THE RAIN Splashes Tons of Tap Dancing Fun into La Mirada

Even before it opened this month, La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts and McCoy Rigby Entertainment knew they had a hit production on their hands with SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, based on the greatest movie musical of all time with screenplay by Betty Comden & Adolph Green and songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed. Adapted from the 1952 movie of the same name which starred Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds and Jean Hagen, the plot closely adheres to the original story set in 1920s Hollywood during the waning days of the Silent Screen era, focusing on romantic leading man, Don Lockwood, his tap dancing sidekick Cosmo Brown, aspiring actress Kathy Selden, and Lockwood's platinum blonde leading lady Lina Lamont, whose less-than-dulcet vocal tones make her an unlikely candidate for stardom in the new talking pictures.
