Shelley Fisher

Anything with the name Mark Twain on it draws a crowd.  “Twainiacs” like me will always show up.  This particular piece of Clemens’ literary output languished inside a file cabinet at the Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley for a century.   It is difficult to know what to say about IS HE DEAD. It is a bold choice by Director Charlotte Gilman and the OCTA Board.   Gilman has chosen to direct IS HE DEAD in the imagined style of the time.  It is easy to imagine in a touring Chautauqua tent show in rural Kansas or Missouri at the end of the nineteenth century.

What did our critic think of IS HE DEAD at Arkansas State University Beebe?

Binge Free Festival, the festival of free theatre performances based at Santa Monica Playhouse, has just added two more events to the festival line-up. These will be virtual, i.e. online. Both events are free of charge.

The month of October heralds the return of the Santa Monica Playhouse BFF: The Binge Fringe Festival of FREE Theatre.

Santa Monica Playhouse Benefit Series and Shelley Fisher present THE HEBREW HILLBILLY, a live-stream musical event to support the Playhouse as their doors remain closed due to COVID-19 on Sunday, September 13 at 6:30pm.

This Spotlight focuses on Shelley Fisher, a down home diva better known as The Hebrew Hillbilly, her solo music play which is the longest running in the USA. Believing that music is the universal language which brings healing and encouragement to everyone, performing her show fuels the flames of creativity and hope for Shelley, and comedy provides a welcome break from the weight of life as it is today. So, what is she up to until she can back inside the Santa Monica Playhouse to perform for an audience again?

Santa Monica Playhouse has been a cultural treasure in the seaside community for 60 years. Now, the Playhouse is giving love back with its Fourth Annual Binge Free Festival (BFF), a full month of free performances, workshops, readings, music and poetry in Santa Monica's ONLY fringe festival. The BFF's primary focus will be on Santa Monica and Los Angeles-based artists.

Santa Monica Group Theatre presents The BFF aka The BINGE Fringe Festival of Free Theatre - the Third Annual Santa Monica Fringe Festival - featuring dozens of artists, companies, workshops and performances by Santa Monica and Los Angeles based artists October 15 through October 28th - with encore performances through November 11.
