KING HEDLEY II is the eighth and quite possibly bleakest play of August Wilson’s Century Cycle. Pasadena’s A Noise Within is committed to producing the entire cycle, and ANW’s production, under the direction of frequent Wilson helmsman Gregg T. Daniel, wrestles with it valiantly.

Review: A CHRISTMAS STORY at Ahmanson
by Evan Henerson
- Dec 17, 2023
Lenz’s production is solid family stuff, a little bit cock-eyed, and easy on the treacle. Knowledge of the original movie is by no means a prerequisite to enjoyment of ACS: TM. If you’re craving certain iconic moments from the movie, rest assured you’ll find them, possibly even amped up or with a musical number built around them.

Dog Man: The Musical is a fun, goofy musical romp running through January 7th at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City. This bright, happy show is almost solely aimed at children, and what a wonderful thing that is.

Fresh and glorious to behold, with bold, impressive stagecraft and truly innovative and imaginative costume design. There are frequent moments of awe and breathtaking sprinkles of magic. Although it feels off to me in some of its performance and art direction choices, this is a remarkable and stunningly visual production.
Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at A Noise Within

Visually and acoustically, from performances to pacing, this DREAM directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliott and Geoff Elliott is so beautifully thought out and rendered that the Noise Within brain-trust should consider filming it for posterity.

Review: THE GOSPEL AT COLONUS at The Getty Villa
by Andrew Child
- Sep 8, 2023
The new seat cushions aren’t the only thing regulars of the Getty Villa’s annual theatre production are buzzing about this season (even though they are surprisingly comfortable and make the amphitheater a worthy place to sit for a few hours).

Review: FETCH CLAY, MAKE MAN at Kirk Douglas Theatre
by Evan Henerson
- Jul 4, 2023
In FETCH CLAY, MAKE MAN, Will Power investigates the friendship as a fascinating dual study in individual character and cultural identity. Under Debbie Allen’s rocking direction at the Douglas, the play is as exciting as it is thoughtful. THE BEAR’s Edwin Lee Gibson and Ray Fisher act the daylights out of it.

Gunderson’s storytelling and her love of Shakespeare is another. It’s also icing on a most tasty cake that may not be for all palates. If you get the running gag of a character’s passion for PERICLES, this one’s for you.
