by Keith Waits
- Oct 26, 2015
Charles Addams' 'altogether ooky' macabre family has been around since 1938, although most people date their introduction to the mass media culture from the 1964 television series. Two popular films from the 1980's raised the profile even more. Most recently the musical theatre adaptation hit Broadway starring Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth.

Long Beach Playhouse Presents THE CYCLOPS, Now thru 11/10
by BWW News Desk
- Oct 13, 2012
You've probably heard of The Odyssey, a classic piece of literature written almost three thousand years ago by a blind poet named Homer. Well, the Long Beach Playhouse is turning Homer on his head, retelling the story with the help of puppets, masks and shadow puppets. They're also focusing on one of the coolest parts of The Odyssey -- the one with the Cyclops! Although The Cyclops is set back in the 8th-century B.C., the dialogue is lightened up with references from contemporary times including lines from musicals, songs, poems and pop culture references. The production is both serious and not, in the best sense of contrast. Please note that although this show has puppets, it's not intended for children.
