Review: LUCHADORA! AT TEATRO AUDAZ at Teatro Audaz
Written by Alvaro Saar Rios, Luchadora! is a modern Mexican take on the Chinese legend Hua Mulan but set in the world of lucha libre. The story unfolds when Vanessa, played by Micah Wolfe, who plays the modern teen perfectly, discovers a pink mascara de lucha libre in her Nana Lupita's bag. Vanessa then convinces Nana to tell her the story of the mask. Micah's balance of an attentive granddaughter and a distracted teenager was spot on and gave the audience several moments of laughter. Nana Lupita, played wonderfully by Cindy Rodriguez-Martinez, launches into a fantastical tale of flowers, mascara, lucha libre, and overcoming the male ideology that 'girls don't do that,' whatever 'that' may be.

Review: Mimi Kennedy, Gordon Clapp Dazzle in World Premiere of PRU PAYNE at Arizona Theatre Company
Mimi Kennedy renders an imperious and brassy Pru Payne (her public moniker). She's a renowned intellectual, feared for her trenchant criticism and scathing takedowns of mediocre aspirations (a faint redolence of critic Michiko Kakutani's public feuds with John Updike and Norman Mailer et al). Pru exists in the lofty penthouse of her intellect. She deflects the impulse to linger in the subterranean region of emotions -- until she loses her bearing and meets Gus Cudahy.
