Planet, Netflix’s “The Politician,” Justice League) and directed by John Gould Rubin, opening
Saturday, May 14 and running through Sunday, June 5, 2022, in The Wallis’ Bram Goldsmith

Our Town @ South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa – Review

(photo credit:  South Coast Rep)

Life has begun in Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire. Milk is being delivered. Breakfast is on the stove. We meet the town gossips, the boys who play baseball and the choirmaster with a secret sorrow. And soon teenagers George Gibbs and Emily Webb will go from friends to puppy love to wedding day and beyond—two families forever joined together. And as they come to terms with the meaning of their lives, this Pulitzer Prize-winning American classic beautifully celebrates our own shared humanity.  Taken from the website

Tambo & Bones @ Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City – Review

(Photo by Craig Schwartz Photography)

Synopsis:

Tambo and Bones are two characters trapped in a minstrel show. It’s mad hard to feel like a real person when you’re trapped in a minstrel show. Their escape plan: get out, get bank, get even. A rags-to-riches hip-hop odyssey, “Tambo & Bones” roasts America’s racist past, wrestles America’s racist present and explodes America’s post-racial future—where what’s at stake, for those deemed less-than-human, is the fate of humanity itself. “Tambo & Bones” is the recipient of an Edgerton Foundation New Play Award.  Taken from the press release
