She knows what it takes to be popular—Elle Woods, bubbly brainiac and pink enthusiast comes back to life in Legally Blonde: The Musical. After a sa...
The roots of Improv Shmimprov trace back to the UCI Drama Department; it was there in 1998 that the comedy group’s founders first got their start. ...
Very intimate venue, loved it. Not a bad seat in the house
One more reason to love the '80s is the fact that just about everyone at the time—even teenagers—saw the exceptional, Oscar-winning film Amadeus starring the much forgotten Tom Hulce and the still pretty much remembered F. Murray Abraham, and... More »
Well, it's finally happened: I hate straight people. I knew it was coming, of course. After 43 years of being pummeled by their insipid Mars/Venus melodramas; obsession with procreating; and endless drooling over one another's naughty bits in... More »
While viewing the multiple award-winning God of Carnage, one thing we always wanted to scream at the stage was "Just leave the fucking house!" But then, that would be a very short play. The story of two very civilized couples who meet to discuss... More »
In a little more than a year, Orange County lost two of its edgiest, longest-established storefront theaters: The Monkey Wrench Collective, which closed in December 2011, and the Hunger Artists Theatre Co., which closed in November. Both... More »
Welcome to the 2012 OC Weekly holiday theater preview, the timing of which is weird on two fronts: Most of these shows wrap up this weekend, which doesn't give interested parties a whole lot of time to catch them—and the world ends tomorrow,... More »
The world premiere of Catherine Trieschmann's play at South Coast Repertory drew more attention for putting the battle between creationism and evolution in public schools under the dramaturgical lens. But, while filled with some juicily packaged polemics about the rather warped views of anti-science Middle America, How the World Began was about things personal as much as political. An Ivy League-educated teacher seeks to rebuild her life in a small Kansas town that's trying to rebuild after... More »
Shitty plays generally don't earn Pulitzer Prizes, so it wasn't astonishing that Suzan-Lori Parks' 2002 Topdog/Underdog kept viewers' attention. But this Susan Seret-directed piece, staged at South Coast Repertory, didn't just make you pay notice; it grabbed you by the throat and forced attention. The two-person character study about brothers trying to reject--and embrace--street-level hustling offered a rich perspective on life in inner-city black America, something sorely lacking... More »
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...

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 »
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...
