Celebration Theatre is a very small venue known for putting on very big musicals and doing them very well. But I have to tell you, seeing Del Shores claim the stage as his own was really a treat as he transformed himself into not only his mother but several other friends and relatives from his childhood in Texas or others he has met over the years in gay bars, banks and convenience stores in SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF A PLAY. The title, of course, riffs on Pirandello's classic title, but in this one, Shores brings to life six one-of-a-kind characters he has met in real life that haven't quite made it into one of his plays, films or TV shows. In 90 minutes, the audience heard the truth behind how he collected these eccentrics and their stories as he portrays his hilarious, off-the-rails encounters with them.
So many fans know Del Shores as a prolific playwright and screenwriter, and film director and producer they forget he's also a character actor...and a damn good one. Currently onstage at the Celebration Theatre at the Lex, Shores' new one-man show Six Characters in Search of a Play is hysterically funny ...and ... it's all Shores. The audience gets a chance to see just what a versatile talent he is. Shores's sense of humor is flamboyant but sincere. His first big laugh comes with saying he's a thief, as the idea for the show comes from Pirandello...at least the title. Another big chuckle emanates when he professes to be a storyteller, quoting Mark Twain, 'Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.' What better than a few delicious lies to embellish the anecdotes! After all, he from the South and Southerners are prone ... to lie.

Classics are classics because they have a resonance that lasts long after their final word has been written. The Old Globe's production of UNCLE VANYA, by Anton Chekhov, with a new translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky with playwright and production director Richard Nelson, is nothing short of an excellent example of letting a classic have its vibrant say once again.

Her son Strephon wants to marry Phyllis, but all the members of the House of Peers wants to marry Phyllis as well.
