From the first note to the last, it is the orchestrations filling the air in "The Last Five Years" which make it exceptional. Little wonder the musicians get a worthy curtain call. Cellists Erika Boras Tesi and Diana Elledge play alongside Sean Laperruque on violin; Mackenzie Leighton is on bass; Patrick Marion is their musical director and plays keyboards with Jim Mooney strumming the guitar. The group drives the performance with its haunting, yet cathartic, instrumentals....

FALLBROOK – Good old-fashioned German-style festivities delighted residents and guests at an Oktoberfest event Oct. 10, at Silvergate Retirement Residence in Fallbrook. The event was a nod to the worldwide phenomenon which celebrates Bavarian culture with flowing pints of hearty beer and traditional Eastern-European food.

Is it any wonder when a play was written in 1947, adapted in 1950 and performed in 2019 that it comes across as stale? Playwright Jean Anouilh wrote "Invitation to the Castle" in 1947, and in 1950 Christopher Fry translated it for the London audience. Of course, isn't everyone familiar with British humor? The Brits seem to thrive on slamming doors, misdirection and other wide bits of farcical humor. As an audience member, I find it such an exhaustive way to have to watch a pla...

For the first play, I saw two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage voice her great-grandmother’s life in “Intimate Apparel.” It takes place in Lower Manhattan in 1905. Esther is still single and a virgin at 35. At just 17 years old, Esther walked north working odd jobs, sleeping in barns, while surviving on handouts. Along the way someone taught her to sew, more specifically, to sew ladies’ undergarments. Esther lives in the same rooming house with her sewing...

LOS ANGELES (AP) - There may be no such thing as bad publicity, but the spotlight on "Joker" is testing the limits of that old cliche. The origin story about the classic Batman villain has inspired pieces both in defense of and against the movie. It's been hailed as the thing that's going to finally get Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar and also decried for being "dangerous," ''irresponsible" and even "incel-friendly." Last week, some parents of victims of the 2012 Aurora movie... Full story
NEW YORK (AP) - The DreamWorks animated adventure "Abominable" has topped the box office with an estimated $20.9 million, while the Renee Zellweger-led Judy Garland tale "Judy" got off to a sonorous start. "Abominable" was the weekend's sole new wide release. It's a U.S.-China co-production between Universal's DreamWorks and China's Pearl Studios, so its performance in China will be vital to its success. A handful of holdovers stayed strong. Last week's No. 1 film, "Downton... Full story
A jewel box of a theater resides in the tidy neighborhood known as University Heights. Entering its 34th season, Diversionary Theater is upstairs above the lobby; guests can just ascend the pink staircase to find it. The fact this theater still survives is a testament to capitalism. The founding premise was to "celebrate the identity and diversity of our LGBT community." It took a brave group of thespians to stand front and center and play to a different reality. All the more...

The Hilbert Museum of California Art at Chapman University presents “Gifted: Collecting the art of California at Gardena High School 1919-1956,” a collection of California artworks collected over a 37-year period by then-students at Gardena High School. The tradition started back in 1919 when a teacher suggested that the senior class purchase a piece of artwork to donate to the school. It continued for nearly 40 years, with the works being displayed around the school. After the tradition stopped, many of the pieces were sto...
