2010 | Best Play

Okay, so, no, this mounting of the ridiculously popular musical based on Mel Brooks' 1968 film that wowed them on Broadway and all over the country in a nationally touring production wasn't profound, meaningful, important or relevant. But while snooty theatrical purists--and even people who just really like really good musicals (which this one really isn't)--can roll their eyes all they want: Director Brian Newell and his sensationally talented cast and stellar...

2009 | Best Actor

This bong-water-addled send-up of the notoriously bad anti-marijuana propaganda film was a complete ensemble effort, so singling out one actor in the highly talented cast might seem suspect. But Mike Martin, as Reefer Madness's narrator and oh-so-guilty conscience, was so funny and commanding that he nearly walked off with the show. Whether brandishing an enormous joint over his head as if he were Zeus threatening to fire lighting bolts down from Mount Olympus or breaking the fourth wall... More »
2007 | Best Non-Theatrical Theater Company

Maybe it's the drunken midnight karaoke on Saturdays, or the slinky femmes fatales gyrating to James Bond theme songs, or some fat fuck in a red suit squaring off with green Martians, or Stalag 17or A Few Good Men, or the unashamedly fan's-eye musical homage to Elvis, The King.Or maybe it's all of them. But the Maverick Theater in downtown Fullerton is the most un-theater theater in the county, trafficking in film and multimedia as much as Shakespeare and Neil Simon. Founder Brian Newell has...

'Cloud Tectonics' and More!

By JOEL BEERS | Thu, May 24, 2012

It's not uncommon to see the name Shakespeare pop up on the schedules of many a theater during the summer. The epic scope and huge casts involved in his plays make them ideal for outdoor performances, where a troupe isn't limited by such obstacles... More »
'Frost/Nixon' Depicts Two Tricky Dicks

By JOEL BEERS | Thu, May 17, 2012

This may be the first time in recorded history that the movie The Avengers and the play Frost/Nixon get double-billing in a sentence, but just as you don't need to watch the horde of Marvel movies that set up the box-office blockbuster, you don't ... More »
Occupy Sherwood Forest?

By JOEL BEERS | Thu, March 22, 2012

The buzz around the Maverick Theater's production of The Legend of Robin Hood is that it's "not your grandfather's Robin Hood." And sure enough, this retelling of the story of one of Western literature's greatest anti-heroes is a far cry from the ... More »
The Legend of Robin Hood

By Joe Lapin | Thu, March 01, 2012

Imagine a modern day Robin Hood: someone like Tyler Durden, devastatingly good looking and tough as Cool Hand Luke. And instead of robbing the king, who would this contemporary Robin steal from? Maybe the big banks who were too big to fail, maybe ... More »
Preluse to a Kiss

By ERIN DEWITT | Thu, January 12, 2012

Forget the overly saccharine Hollywood adaptation of Prelude to a Kiss (they gave it the Meg Ryan treatment—enough said), the original 1988 play written by Craig Lucas is far deeper than the gimmicky soul-switching it's centered around. On Peter a... More »
