You've seen them. Gaudy costumes worn by Hollywood and Broadway stars, preserved and on display in museums and galleries. It's a great way to witness first-hand the trappings of the pretend, magical worlds brought to us on celluloid, television, and the live stage. But when you see those famous outfits, hanging stiffly on mannequins, you get the sense something is missing. It's as if they were embalmed mummies from ancient Egypt, beautiful but lifeless. That's what makes a show like Hollywood Revisited, which played Sunday afternoon at the Oxnard Civic Auditorium, so valuable and different as a unique piece of show business entertainment.
Green Day's classic rock opera takes to the stage, from Jingletown to the city, from beer swilling to heroin chic, and back agaiin.

Stage Manager… it is one of those credits in your theatre program that you take for granted without ever really thinking about just what that title entails. Stage management, at the core, is the organizing and coordinating of a theatrical production. The words organizing and coordinating encompass a wide variety of activities between director, crew, actors and management. In short, Stage Managers coordinate every aspect of a production, ensuring a successful performance. In our continuing series of interviews with Austin Technical Theatre people, we sat down recently with Stage Manager Rachel Dendy to give our readers a look backstage into a world most audiences never see.

See any of the productions Tim has directed and be challenged only not to be entertained, but thinking about what the play is saying.

California Musical Theatre and BroadwayWorld bring you the 2016 lineup for Sacramento Music Circus at the Wells Fargo Pavilion, the 66th season for the venerable institution. The season includes four shows that have never been produced at Music Circus: The smash hit musical comedy Legally Blonde, based on the hilarious film starring Reese Witherspoon; the family favorite Seussical, a journey through the witty and whimsical world of Dr. Seuss; Nice Work If You Can Get It, the song-and-dance spectacular filled with the music of George and Ira Gershwin; and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a brand new musical exploring the dark themes of the epic novel while featuring the beautiful music of the animated Disney film. The 2016 Music Circus season will also feature two shows that are all-time patron favorites, the irresistible musical theatre gem Hello, Dolly! and the Tony-winning Kander and Ebb classic Cabaret.
Even if you have not yet made it to the Marquis Theatre, chances are that you have still seen Josh Segarra in action this year. Television fans might know him as lovable goofball Bill Cepeda from USA's Sirens or as Justin Voight from NBC's Chicago P.D. Or maybe you caught him starring alongside comedy It-Girl Amy Schumer in her Golden Globe-nominated mega-hit, Trainwreck. Now he's busy making this Broadway season spicer, starring as Emilio Estefan in the hit new musical On Your Feet!.
This is far from Josh's first go at New York theater (he has previously starred in such shows as LYSISTRATA JONES and DOGFIGHT), but it's certainly his first major role in the Broadway spotlight. He just checked in with BroadwayWorld about what's been going on at the Marquis since opening night, how he is handling the extra leading man pressure, and why his 2015 was truly epic.

Sit back and simply enjoy the spectacle of the ladies discovering their sex while the men recoil in horror and sing songs about 'hair in the air', and then pretend it all made sense when you wake up in the morning. It's nonsense, both a trick and a treat for Halloween.

With over 200 shows presented at FringeNYC Festival and 900 at Edinburgh Fringe, it's hard to be in the know about what's worth seeing.

But more importantly, pinpoints and cultivates the theater talent of tomorrow.
