  • Put Your House in Order

    Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal, Special to The Village News|Updated Jun 26, 2019

    While everyone is seeking diversity in the theatre experience, "Put Your House in Order" as described by playwright Ike Holter, is a Rom-Com (romantic comedy) horror experience. Well, yes, it is a horror all right. Here is some insight about the author. Holter said, "What's scary to me as a millennial gay black person who lives in the Midwest, is much different than what is scary to someone else who lives in Ohio and is a white woman in her 70's." (Last time I looked Ohio is... Full story

  • 'Puffs' is a fun parody of wizards

    Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal, Special to Village News|Updated Jun 24, 2019

    In its inaugural production, The Eastern Theatre Company of Poway made itself proud with the San Diego premier of "Puffs." A parody of J.K. Rowling's series about a magical school with flying wizards and mysterious trap doors in a train depot, "Puffs" was acclaimed by audience members as a hit. Like Shakespeare's sonnets, "Puffs" is filled with one double entendre after another. Although the play was originally contrived by a band of improv players in the New York comedy club... Full story

  • 'Little Shop of Horrors' is a sensory delight

    Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal, Special to The Village News|Updated Jun 10, 2019

    Quite often it can take a bit of tweaking to get something just right. And this time New Village Arts did! In his third directorial effort, A.J. Knox has a hit on his hands! "Little Shop of Horrors" is a visual delight as well as a musical triumph. As a matter of fact, many of the senses come to life in this show – even taste. (One must take into account when Audrey II begs Seymour to "feed me, feed me.") Whimsical and charming, in a kitschy, quirky way, set designer Doug C... Full story

  • 'A Walk in the Woods'

    Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal, Special to The Village News|Updated Jun 6, 2019

    There is a parable about the old bull and the young bull standing on a hill. While the younger bull would charge head down into the problem, the wily, older bull would take a more circuitous route. "A Walk in the Woods" is a retelling of what might have happened between two negotiators working toward peace. Based loosely on the real-life happenings when in July 1982, Paul Nitze and Yuli A. Kvitsinsky chose to take a stroll up a logging road to escape possible bugging in their...

  • Get your groove on with 'Sister Act'

    Elizabeth Youngman Westphal, Special to The Village News|Updated May 6, 2019

    Polyester is made through the "esterification condensation of polyfunctional alcohols and acids." It is the linking of these esters which make the fabric impervious to biodegrading. In other words, while the raging Colorado river may have only taken a few billion years to cut a gorge known as the Grand Canyon, polyester, along with atomic waste, will remain on this planet until the second big bang. All of this is leading up to an explosion of man-made fabric adorning the heave...
