Just a scant 10 years before Columbus discovered America, this story unfolds high above ground on the Ille de Cite. Lifted from the pages of Victor Hugo's acclaimed novel (ca 1831) about a deformed man and his love for a beautiful Gypsy woman, the classic tale of bittersweet romance is brought to life by the players at the Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista. "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is riveting. Masterfully staged and passionately directed by Steven Glaudini, this is this se...
For a good time, no, for a really good time, join in the fun at New Village Arts Theatre in Carlsbad before this run is sold out. "Legally Blonde The Musical" is one of this year's most entertaining theatrical experiences! And it is only a few minutes from home. Artistic Director Kristianne Kurner has a hit on her hands! Whether at UCLA or in Cambridge, this modern-day romp is eye candy. Kurner has inspired each actor/singer/dancer and musician in the cast to fill their...
"Newsies" is a smash hit! This huge cast of talented performers delights and inspires. Perfect for the entire family. Great music, explosive, athletic dance routines featuring spectacular tap sequences. Thrilling to watch – exciting to experience. This is rated 10 out of 10. After coming off the all-time hit, "Mamma Mia," Moonlight Stage Productions is bound to have a back to back success with "Newsies." It is every bit as wonderful as its predecessor and a lot more i...
The musical "Godspell" is soon coming to Fallbrook. Ideal family entertainment, it is being presented by the newly formed group called Christ the King's Players, an offshoot of the Curtain Call Company. Based on the many stories from the Book of Luke, the parables are told through song by a cast of local singers and performers. Cassidy Mitchell plays Jesus and leads the cast through the many stories as Luis Nunez plays a dual role. First as John the Baptist and later as the... Full story
The Moliere Award is a literary prize based on a theatrical technique created during the 17th century by the French dramatist Jean-Baptiste Poquelin aka Moliere. He is recognized as the creator of the comedic technique incorporating double-vision. Seeing two things at once. A broad approach to comedy akin to commedia dell’arte. Not unlike the Yanny/Laurel internet phenomenon. As it turns out the words were broadcast on two different wave lengths and so your hearing determined... Full story
A world premiere play opened at The Cygnet Theater in Old Town San Diego recently. "The Wind and the Breeze" is by a new playwright Nathan Alan Davis. I will begin with what I liked. Sean Fanning's set design was a home run. The lighting design by R. Craig Wolf delights the eye and adds to the wonder. Steven Leffue is a renowned sound designer. yet the rap sequences are muddled. I can offer only praise for the actors. Often it must have required courage. The story begins in... Full story

Grab your credit card and book your seats early or you could lose out. One of the most ambitious houses in the county might just be in Solana Beach headed up by David Ellenstein.

It would seem if you are reading this review, you, too, if not a child of the 60's at least aware of the flower-child movement. Which would align you with the creators of "Soul Doctor". It opened this past Tuesday night at the Lyceum Space in downtown San Diego. Reworked for the road, having debuted on Broadway in 2013, the journey of rock star Rabbi Schlomo will only be in San Diego for 24 total performances on its first stop of the world tour. Next stop is Jerusalem,...
When the British playwright Michael Frayn wrote about a touring troupe of actors performing a standard bill of fare in the U.K., known as “British Bedroom Farce,” his intention was to mock the intensity of these endeavors by poking fun of everyone from the director to the backstage crew. Also known as lowbrow (as opposed to highbrow e.g. Shakespeare, as fulfilled by the other summer touring players) this silly whimsical form of tongue-in-cheek comedy is based on imp...
Tucked in the back of a parking lot on the East side of I-5 in Solana Beach sits a noteworthy house of theatre. North Coast Rep is wrapping up its 36th season featuring David Ellenstein as Artistic Director for the past 16. What that really means over these past years is he has developed a bit of clout in the make-believe world of play acting. Otherwise, he would not have been able to lure Geoffrey Sherman to direct in his little playhouse. Mr. Sherman's resume is exemplary... Full story
It would seem if you are reading this review, you too, if not a child of the 60's are at least aware of the flower-child movement. Which would align you with the creators of "Soul Doctor". It opened April 10 at the Lyceum Space in downtown San Diego. Reworked for the road, having debuted on Broadway in 2013, the journey of rock star Rabbi Schlomo will only be in San Diego for 24 total performances on its first stop of the world tour. Next stop is Jerusalem, Israel. "Soul... Full story
Ocasionally. Well, no, not so very often. Yet, from time to time. Although, still hardly ever. And certainly not as frequently as one hopes. Ok, fine. The fact of the matter is rarely does one get the privilege to witness a production as fresh as "The Random World". Fresh as in "original qualities, unimpaired". Prolific playwright Steven Dietz has been the voice of regional theatre for decades. Actually, not since Tennessee Williams has a writer been as fruitful as Dietz.... Full story
