Review: SUMMER CABARET SERIES: CELEBRATING TOM JONES WITH DAVID BURNHAM at CVRep
by Kay Kudukis - July 24, 2025
When I was a kid, I’d come home after school, immediately turn on the tv and watch Sally Starr (the blondest, ponytailed cowgirl in the tristate area) introduce cartoons and episodes of The Three Stooges (not a fan, I’d go get a snack). And then in 1966 Dark Shadows premiered at 4pm on channel 7 and it was “Sally who?” until April 2, 1971 when ABC thrust a stake through its time slot.

by June August - July 14, 2025
Have you ever left a theater wishing the performer you just enjoyed could be your friend? That’s how I felt after hearing Susan Edwards Martin sing at CV Rep’s Cabaret Series. Susan has the knack of embracing you with her voice and making a place for you in the living room of her heart.

Alix Korey is an outstanding entertainer. It’s no wonder that an appreciative audience (including me) stood up as one to acknowledge your performance at the Cabaret season opener at CV Rep, Tuesday, June 24, 2025.

Review: BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL PEACE TALKS at Coachella Valley Repertory
by June August - May 27, 2025
The world premiere at CV Rep of Beverly Hills Hotel Peace Talks by Gregg Ostrin is definitely a show worth seeing. The dialogue grabbed me from the first line. The acting does justice to the script. Although not a strict comedy genre, I found myself and the audience laughing at Ostrin's skill in handling characterizations and verbalizing Hollywood and political cliches.
