Review: MEMNON at The Getty Villa

Review: THE XIXTH (THE NINETEENTH) at The Old Globe Goes For the Gold
The Old Globe Theatre is going for the gold with their World Premier THE XIXTH (The 19th). The show is funny, and thought-provoking, and shows that sadly, the issues of protesting systematic racism and looking for freedom and equality are still as relevant now as it was then. THE XIXTH is playing at The Old Globe through April 23rd.
