Now playing at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts, the new McCoy/Rigby Entertainment production of the Tony Award-winning 1981 Broadway musical DREAMGIRLS is pretty much a faithful carbon-copy of the recent 2009 national touring production---which happens to also be directed and choreographed by Robert Longbottom. La Mirada's offering---which continues through April 17---repurposes almost all of the visual and technical aspects of that tour, from the use of moving LED screens that set up different scenes and environments to William Ivey Long's lavishly exquisite costumes. It even taps that tour's original Effie played by the extraordinary Moya Angela, who has since matured wonderfully into the role. When your lead actress incites a boisterous standing ovation after slaying with an incredible performance of the musical's iconic 'And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Going)'---even as the show is still in the midst of that act one ending---you know you've got something great here.

The Production Company announces its first community-outreach program by hosting the Boys and Girls Club of East Los Angeles at a special command performance of Christopher Sergel's stage adaptation of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD on Thursday, January 17th, 2011.
Robert Mulligan's 1962 film of Harper Lee's magnificent novel To Kill a Mockingbird is for me one of the greatest black and white films ever made. Christopher Sergel adapted the novel to the stage in 1990, and the play respects Lee's keen vision of humanity and keeps intact the poetic beauty of her words. The Prodco's production @ The Lex, the first play in their new home, ardently resonates the timeless message of tolerance and friendship.
Continuing the 50-year anniversary celebration of Harper Lee's landmark book-turned-legend, ‘TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD' opens on January 14th, 2011 as THE PRODUCTION COMPANY unveils their new larger space, The Lex Theatre; 6760 Lexington Avenue, in Hollywood's Theatre Row.
