This ambitious musical salute to the creative "beat" generation born in the NYC Village during the 1950s centers on showcasing the women whose poetry and books played an important role in the movement towards self-expression. With none of the performers even alive in the 50s, somehow each manager to bring the spirit of the Beat poets to life, most recognizable being Allen Ginsburg and Jack Kerouac. In fact, this was the first time I ever heard about the contributions of the most important women i...

Costumer extraordinaire Michael Mullen challenged himself, after much pushing from many of his Facebook friends, to create a solo show about his life for this year's Fringe. And thankfully, he agreed. But it's not so much about costumes as it is about his life, living in Hollywood and dealing with his many food cravings while walking the local streets or shopping at the Rock and Roll Ralphs on Sunset Blvd. Ever on his mind is his favorite food craving of all, mac and cheese, so much so that wh...

What an amazing production, created , produced and starring two remarkable actors recently moved to L..A. from NYC. Their loss is our gain and these two were an incredible duo in this tantalizing adaptation of the classic horror story.Burt Grinstead is am amazing Jekyll and Hyde, while Anna Stromberg dazzles as all the other characters in the play, both men and women. Designed in a black box with all black basic costumes and set pieces, the only color in the entire show appears as the backdrop ...

I clearly remember when actress Rebecca Schaeffer was murdered in 1989 on her doorstep by a fan who was stalking her, long before this type of behavior was the norm as it seems to be today. This solo show, written and performed with amazing emotional insight by her mother Dana Schaeffer, begins with stories from her only child's childhood during which she worried if little Rebecca was out of her sight for a few minutes. So imagine how this proud mother, who spoke daily with her daughter when sh...

I met actor John Brahan at the Better Lemons panel in which I participated, and he was so enthusiastic about this show, I knew I had to go see it. And even though the idea of anyone that far to the right of the political spectrum is abhorrent to me, the two actors in the play both gave amazing performances which riveted my attention from start to its surprising finish....

I have been an admirer of people who can perform aerial acrobatics for awhile, appreciating the incredible athletic ability needed to make such beautiful movements appear to be effortless, which they certainly are not. Starring Tamysen Malles & Monica Miklas as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Alice from Alice in Wonderland who share stories from their lives as they fly through the air together, Nicole Beckerman, Rox Kousaka, Sheri Lee, Diana Nguyen, Jane Osborn, and Chelsea Rousselot portray ch...
