by Amber Cassell
- Feb 9, 2011
Kicking off its 20th Anniversary, Deaf West Theatre puts its own, unique spin on the classic story of a mischievous puppet who wishes to become a real, live boy. Using a mix of deaf and hearing actors, Stephen Rothman directs The Adventures of Pinocchio, a commedia dell arte adaptation of Carlo Collodi's 1883 novel by Lee Hall that brims with clever political subtext and sly social commentary. Deaf West's retelling of Pinocchio's treacherous journey through childhood opens February 25 at Deaf West Theatre in North Hollywood's NoHo Arts District, with two low-priced previews on February 17 and 18. (The Adventures of Pinocchio is rated 'PG' for mild language and dark themes - recommended for ages 10 and up.)

BWW Reviews: The Rep's Moving Production of THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING
by Chris Gibson
- Jan 20, 2011
It's tragic enough when someone loses their spouse, but when they also lose their only child within a year and a half of that, it's simply indescribable. But that's precisely what happened to writer Joan Didion, and she chronicled the experience in her book, and in the play that followed, THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING. The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis is presenting a powerful and emotion-packed presentation of this play in the intimate confines of their Studio Theatre, and while it will most certainly speak to anyone, it will resonate even deeper with those who have lost someone close to them. This one-woman show is an affecting work and Fontaine Syer delivers an exceptional performance.
