La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts announces its annual month of extraordinary performances!

With the strong, focused direction of Clay Hillwig and the uniformly consistent and superb performances of an exceptional cast, Circle Players starts off 2011 with its impressively mounted revival of Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun. With a story that is as potent and as relevant today as it was at the time of the play's 1959 Broadway debut, A Raisin in the Sun follows the struggling but proud Younger family as they strive to make their lives better on Chicago's South Side.

Galleon's production of A Woman of No Importance transposes Wilde's comedy drama to a Christmas party at the end of the 1950s. The seamless and careful repositioning of the play from1893 to the end of the 1950s liberates Wilde's heartrending play from melodramatic Victoriantrappings and brings it to an age closer to our own. Whereas, Bruce Jamieson's sensitive realignment of Wilde's text heightens contemporary audience empathy with the characters, their predicaments and delivers a thought provoking and highly enjoyable seasonal theatrical treat.In A Woman of No Importance Wilde exposes, through piercing wit, the hypocrisy of a society which scorns and punishes a woman for her sexual misdemeanours but applauds and grants honours to the man in question. The play centres on the then publically damning revelation of Mrs.Arbuthnot's long-concealed secret - she conceived a child out of wedlock. 'The Greenwich Playhouse really is producing the very best theatre in London.

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis continues their stellar season with their third consecutive play concerning issues of faith, and just like those other two productions, it's a definite winner. Playwright Tom Dudzick has constructed a terrific, semi-autobiographical coming of age piece that's both uproariously funny and emotionally touching. OVER THE TAVERN is required viewing, and a perfect indulgence for the holiday season, with a wonderful cast delivering impressive performances under the expert guidance of director Michael Evan Haney.
