As you age, every wrinkle and liver spot on your face tells a story, and there are some stories you would rather just forget.

The technical bloopers this show experienced would give Spiderman: Turn off the Dark a run for its money. While I still loved this production, I feel like it opened a week before it should have

You will feel like you are drowning when watching this modern love tale

Panic! Productions staged the darkest rendition of Little Shop of Horrors I have ever seen.

This piece works much better as something you would see drunk in a bar in the 90s

If you find yourself in Downtown Long Beach, be sure to catch this unique show.

Rules of Seconds is easily the best new play that has premiered in Los Angeles this year.

This show is the very definition of a slow burning candle. More aptly put, a slow burning candle whose wick winds up being connected to a thousand pounds of dynamite that blows your face off without any warning.

Anyone who is a fan of creepy stuff will love this show.

This Ode to Hell's Kitchen is a hazy, heartwarming, homage to the playwright's memory of the neighborhood she grew up in and once loved.

If American Horror Story decided to do a season set in the time of ancient mythical English kings, you would get Julia Rodriguez-Elliott's King Lear. I highly recommend this eerie interpretation of one of Shakespeare's most produced works.

Cupcake Studio's production of Green Day's American Idiot oozes of freshness in Trump's America. There was never a dull moment in this high energy, headbanging, production. The power of this show rests in its pure energy, and the cast certainly delivered.

Cal State Long Beach's Theatre Arts Department practiced two hours of theatre alchemy spinning Kirsten Childs' manure of a script into pure gold.

There's still one week left to catch 946: THE AMAZING STORY OF ADOLPHUS TIPS at Beverly Hill's Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. Emma Rice and Paul Crewes were nice enough to take time to talk about UK-based Kneehigh's latest touring show.

Cal State Long Beach's spring season is off to a strong start, and their upcoming shows have a tough act to follow.

946 offers two and a half hours of eye-candy and magic.

This repulsive piece of filth has cult following written all over it.

A little bit of King Hedley's ambition might have rubbed off on television actress turned theatrical producer Sophina Brown. Better known as Nikki Betancourt from CBS's hit NUMB3RS, Brown has delved into the Los Angeles 99-seat theatre scene with the goal of producing all ten of August Wilson's plays in the Century Cycle. First up -- KING HEDLEY II, which opened last Thursday at the Matrix Theatre in West Hollywood.

Hollywood Boulevard's newest theatre troupe is one to keep an eye on.
