Review: JULIUS CAESAR at Independent Shakespeare Company in Griffith Park

Review: INTO THE WOODS at Ahmanson Theatre
the latest Broadway revival of INTO THE WOODS that wraps up its national tour at the Ahmanson Theatre, is fantastic.
Review: FETCH CLAY, MAKE MAN at Kirk Douglas Theatre
In FETCH CLAY, MAKE MAN, Will Power investigates the friendship as a fascinating dual study in individual character and cultural identity.
Review: THE MOUNTAINTOP at Geffen Playhouse
As the depiction of a chance encounter between two very different people, THE MOUNTAINTOP has some interesting observations to make.
Review: LOVE ALL at La Jolla Playhouse
As creatively at home as Anna Deavere Smith has been delving into multiple perspectives on the Crown Heights riots of 1991 and the fallout from the Rodney King verdicts of 1992, a traditionally-structured play – even one about a figure as arresting as Billie Jean King - may not be in her artistic
Review: TWELFTH NIGHT at Old Globe Theatre
The production that opened June 10 at the outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theater was consistently enjoyable, but never enchanting.
Review: THE BOOK OF WILL at A Noise Within
Gunderson’s storytelling and her love of Shakespeare is another.
Review: SIX: THE MUSICAL at Hollywood Pantages Theatre
The tour of SIX at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre, directed by Lucy Moss and Jamie Armitage, is 90 minutes of partying with performers Khaila Wilcoxon, Storm Lever, Natalie Paris, Olivia Donalson, Courtney Mack and Gabriela Carrillo as killer – or maybe make that killed? - MCs.

Review: TWILIGHT: LOS ANGELES 1992 at Mark Taper Forum
As solidly staged and forcefully acted as this TWILIGHT is, the production is both problematic and comes across feeling like something is missing.
Review: THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT at Fountain Theatre
Simon Levy’s production at the Fountain Theatre is a smartly-acted brain-tickler that makes its points and lands its blows with humor and intellect

The Pasadena Playhouse has drawn the curtain on its 2023 Sondheim Celebration with a lush and poignant rendering of SUNDAY.
Review: THE FERRYMAN at New Village Arts
Huzzahs, most certainly, to New Village Arts Executive Artistic Director Kristianne Kurner not only for having the moxie to program Butterworth’s play in the first place, but also for directing it with the passion, fire and insight that the play deserves.
