Boston Court presents a relatable A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE

Tennessee Williams’ A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE is now playing (through Mar. 25) at the Boston Court Performing Arts Center in Pasadena. I had the pleasure to attend last weekend; my first time at Boston Court, and totally recommend it. Director Michael Michetti has re-envisioned the play with a multicultural cast and in a modern setting to allow for the themes of class, race, and gender to pop Continue Reading

A CHRISTMAS CAROL back for a sixth year at A Noise Within

Last week was my fourth consecutive year attending A CHRISTMAS CAROL at A Noise Within. Would I do that unless it was absolutely wonderful? The story of the grouchy Ebenezer Scrooge, whose attitude the Ghosts of Christmas change for the better, is one that you should watch if you want to be infused with a good dose of holiday spirit. This production of Dickens’ lovely story, directed of Geoff Continue Reading

Pasadena theater – A Tale of Two Cities at A Noise Within

When people get fed up of the abuses of those at the top, when the pain is bad enough, they do something about it. That’s what the French Revolution was about, when the disenfranchised made the aristocracy pay for its callousness. “It was the best of times,” (for some); “it was the worst of times” (for others). So wrote Charles Dickens in his masterpiece A Tale of Two Cities. A theater adaptation Continue Reading

Enjoy “Pericles, Prince of Tyre” at A Noise Within.

One of the happiest of Shakespeare plays, “Pericles, Prince of Tyre” opens the A Noise Within’s 2013-2014 season. Considered one of the Bard’s late romances, “Pericles, Prince of Tyre” contains everything that make the romances special – the reunion of long-lost family members, fantasy, magic, the presence of a superhuman goddess, shipwrecks, swordfights, and so forth. Pericles would have Continue Reading
