"Some Enchanted Evening"..."Bloody Mary is the girl for me"..."I'm Gonna Wash that Man Right Outa My Hair"..."There is Nothing Like a Dame"..."I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy"..."Happy Talk"..."Honey Bun" are just of few of the memorable tunes from the best show of this season "South Pacific" thanks to San Diego Musical Theatre. James Michener won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 for his fictional story "Tales of the South Pacific." A short time later the famous musical team of Ric...
Lux soap company sponsored a weekly radio show from 1937 to 1955. Each week, in front of a live audience of 1,000 people, actors performed inside a glass booth, reading from their scripts as the story was transmitted into every household across America. Radio theatre was one of the most sought after acting jobs of the time. With shows like "Kukla, Fran and Ollie", "The Lone Ranger and Tonto", "The Green Hornet", "George Burns and Gracie Allen" becoming national favorites,...
Stepping onto a stage solo is like bungee jumping without a harness. Free falling the artist either soars or crashes to earth. The experience of holding onto a thread is wild yet exhilarating. Sometimes terrifying. It takes such courage to step on, stand up and undress in front of family, friends and strangers in order to expose the art. If you have never dared to take that step (figuratively, not literally off the edge of a bridge) it might not occur that what can happen on...
Just about everyone knows by now how intimate the space is at the Sheryl & Harvey White Theatre inside the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center in Balboa Park at the Old Globe complex. The White is the perfect space for the introduction of "Uncle Vanya" - a cozy spot to observe Russian author Anton Chekhov's characters as they manage their daily lives in the last days of the 1890's. As the story begins in a peaceful, rural setting amongst a forest in the Russian countryside, Uncle...
For an enlightened outing into the woods – consider spending a few hours "Camping with Henry and Tom". Sprinkled throughout with humorous political-in-correctness, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and the 29th President of the United States, Warren G. Harding, flee the watchful eyes of the President's secret service detail. While in the past these annual camping expeditions only included Edison and Ford, this particular July, Ford extended a personal invitation to Harding, the c... Full story
One can easily be put off by British humor. Too often it is a bit weird. After all, the Brits like Monty Python. In this instance, even as confusion abounds on stage at The Old Globe's current offering "The Importance of Being Earnest" (directed by Maria Aitken), we are treated to the literary brilliance of Oscar Wilde's final work. Under Aitken's clever direction we get to witness a very fine performance throughout. The British accent was so clear one never lost a moment of...
You and a guest are cordially invited to attend "The Wedding to Die for" at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Fallbrook. Appetizers and wedding cake will be served at the reception. Curtain Call Company is presenting a sentimental return to the whodunit murder mystery, "The Wedding to Die for," at three public performances: Friday the 16th at 7:30 p.m., Saturday Feb. 17 at 2 p.m. with the final performance Sunday, Feb. 18 at 2 p.m. All three productions will be at Christ the...

In the past when I didn't enjoy a performance I talked about the good things I saw. In the case of the highly lauded "Hamilton", and might I add intensely expensive by the way, currently playing at the Civic Theater in downtown San Diego through Jan. 28, there is more to say. I didn't like it. There. I said it. I have wrestled with this (along with an intense bout of influenza) for close to a week now. The real question is would you pay $999 for a ticket to sit in the...
In a perfect world, we would all be able to do what we love. And this past year I have. It has been a source of joy to visit the theaters in San Diego County and write about the experiences. Last year I attended more than 65 theatrical performances from Fallbrook to Coronado to Los Angeles, five symphonies (three in San Diego, plus Fallbrook and Temecula), multiple museums – The Broad, The Gene Autry, The Huntington, The Norton Simon, The L.A. County Museum, The Getty, The Get...
For the past 40 years, Broadway San Diego has featured quality productions, and now as a part of an international company, San Diego will reap the rewards by having some of the best touring shows out of New York perform locally. The season for 2017-2018 started with a bang this fall with "An American in Paris," followed by "The Little Mermaid" and most recently, "Cinderella," which offered a "contemporary take on a classic tale... with jaw dropping transformations – the pumpki...
Just at the “edge of crazy” is one of the funniest, liveliest shows currently running in San Diego. It's fall-out-of-your-seat hilarious. Withering Heights brings Emily Bronte’s novel, Wuthering Heights, to life like never before! It is a hoot! Co-writers Phil Johnson and Omri Schein have taken what seemed like a really, really bad idea and turned it into brilliant one. Exercising expertly crafted comic change ups, impeccable timing, razor sharp wit with fall on your face...
Special to the Village News The only team in baseball history to win the World Series five times in a row is the New York Yankees. Even so, not every fan loved the bums. From 1949 to 1953, the New York Yankees ruled baseball. With players like Mickey Mantle in the outfield, the team dominated the game especially against clubs like the luckless Washington Senators. Douglass Wallop’s book "The Year the Yankee’s Lost the Pennant" was published in 1950 and became the book for "Da...
Last year, Lauren Gunderson was granted the title of the most produced living playwright in America. Heralded for her prolific writings, Gunderson shows her understanding of science in the current production at the Lamb’s Playhouse in Coronado. Silent Sky is the story of astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt. While working at the Harvard Observatory, Leavitt determines the correlation between a star’s luminosity and its distance from earth. This is not the stuff most playwrights w...
