Review: THE FAMILY ALBUM at La Jolla Playhouse
“The Family Album”, the moving and wonderfully entertaining world premiere musical at La Jolla Playhouse, reminds us that while every family's story is unique, family dysfunction is a language everyone speaks.…
Review: Capes, Couture, and Comic Book Dreams- The Her Universe Fashion Show
At the Her Universe Fashion Show, the couture may be the centerpiece, but it is the collaboration between designers, performers, musicians, technicians, and production artists that transforms the event into something far greater than a fashion competition. It is a reminder that Comic-Con isn't just …
Review: ARCADIA at Cygnet Theatre
Beneath its intellect, 'Arcadia' beats a heart that reminds us that even as the universe moves inexorably toward disorder, people continue to love, to learn, to dance, and to search for meaning. Cygnet's elegant production embraces that paradox, leaving audiences with plenty to ponder long after th…
Review: ISAAC'S EYE at OnStage Playhouse
Like the prism at the center of Newton's famous experiments, 'Isaac's Eye' at OnStage Playhouse refracts history into something far more colorful than a simple biography.…

Review: BOY MY GREATNESS at Loud Fridge Theatre Group
Loud Fridge Theatre Group's “Boy My Greatness” is tender, funny, heartbreaking, and ultimately a moving celebration of the artists who dare to tell stories that challenge the world around them.…
Review: MAINLY MOZART WITH VIOLINIST JAMES EHNES at The Conrad In La Jolla
At roughly six minutes, the Memorium is an excellent introduction to the “tintinnabula” (bell) minimalist style created by the composer. A simple melodic line combines with a separate line of triads. Music majors have written theses describing the style in excruciating detail, but the effect Pä…
Review: ADULT STORYTIME: A CAREGIVER’S GUIDE TO THE BLUES at OnWord Theatre
“Adult Storytime: A Caregiver's Guide to the Blues” isn't designed to make audiences cry (though you may). Instead, it celebrates resilience, connection, and the extraordinary care people extend to one another every day.…
Review: THE RISE & FALL OF LITTLE VOICE at Backyard Renaissance
Backyard Renaissance Theatre's San Diego premiere of Jim Cartwright's “The Rise and Fall of Little Voice” is a curious blend of broad comedy and intimate drama. Anthony Methvin's production is elevated by a remarkable cast that finds genuine humanity beneath the script's extremes.…
