The Classical Theatre Lab and the City of West Hollywood present A Family Affair by Alexander Ostrovsky, adapted from a translation by Geroge R. Noyes, directed by Mel Green. Causing an uproar when published in 1850, this broad and irreverent Russian comedy of manners centers around a greedy merchant, Bolshov, who makes a fraudulent bankruptcy application in order to finance the lavish lifestyle of his bourgeois husband-hunting daughter. When Bolshov's accomplices run off with his assets and his daughter, he descends into professional and psychological ruin and is jailed. Upon his release, Bolshov, a new man ready to walk the straight and narrow, finds that his selfish and cantankerous family has not changed one bit.

DON JUAN DISPENSO, written and directed by Tony Tanner, produced by Bare Bones Theatre, will end its World Premiere April 4th.

The Spanish verb dispensar means to absolve or pardon; dispenso means I absolve or I pardon. It may be that Tony Tanner's slant on the Don Juan legend is just that: he forgives the man for living his life the way he did, and for that reason chose the name Dispenso for his character. Maybe. Don Juan Dispenso is a contemporary look at the myth, in which Dispenso makes his way across Europe in the 20s and 30s bedding a variety of women who remained nothing more than conquests to him. In his mind, if he fell in love, he lost control. And he refused to lose control.

Tony Tanner is indeed a triple threat: an actor/writer/director. He oftentimes produces his own work. He has received good reviews and accolades for his work in both Europe and in the United States.

DON JUAN DISPENSO, written and directed by Tony Tanner, produced by Bare Bones Theatre, will have its World Premiere Sunday, February 28, 3:00 pm. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 8:00 pm, and Sunday at 3:00 pm from February 28 through April 4 at The Missing Piece Theatre in Burbank.
