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

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

Smooth, sexy and soulful are all words used to describe the blues, a musical genre that can trace its roots back to the Mississippi Delta more than a hundred years ago. But for Andy Doty, Temecula Blues Festival founder and owner of the Old Town Blues Club, the blues is so much more than just a musical genre. "All American music is rooted in blues," Doty said. "I don't care if it's hip-hop, rock 'n' roll, soul or jazz, it's all rooted in blues. It's huge. I think there is oppo...
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...
With a storyline that would bring tears to most people’s eyes, combined with across the board hair- raising acting - including roles big and small - “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” recounts a mother’s monumental grief regarding her daughter, as well as many deeply complicated subplots, involving discrimination and heavy family themes. This film’s writer and director have the audience on the edge of their seats throughout this harrowing tale - each character drawing the audience further into the tangled web. Fran...

This inspiring and edgy recount of the infamous John Paul Getty, and his grandson, is spun masterfully – combining precious family moments with heartless ones. Christopher Plummer and Michelle Williams ('Manchester by the Sea') mesmerize the audience with cat and mouse-like performances (or should I say lion and seemingly far weaker prey) – the audience feeling the claw marks and scratches of desperation from one side, while witnessing the clever roar and thunder of power from the opposition, it being subtly wielded with “ap...
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...
