Following up on a comment by Becklooo, I am trying to find examples of independent theatre in L.A. (not that I’ll have time, but it’s fitting, anyway, because I’m going to be in that neck of the woods this weekend (Ontario, in fact) for the PME).
So, here’s what Google & MySpace showed me:
Lodestone Theatre
The […]
Last night we performed the Burlesque at the King Club in Madison, WI. There was no real publicity for this event- just some fliers hanging up here and there. As a result the people in the audience were just a couple less than the people on the stage.
This didn’t matter. It was a great show. […]
“ “I’ve got a lot of colors in my box that I didn’t have when I was a so-called minimalist…I got them the old-fashioned way - I went out and learned how to do it.””
Ever since learning to appreciate “Einstein on the Beach” in college, I’ve held a special affection for Philip Glass. Especially with […]
“The magic of theater is its power to astonish, but astonishment can occur only if the audience is willing to suspend its disbelief. How are we expected to astonish young people who have seen everything imaginable, on screens of all description, since they were born?”
- Donald Margulies
There’s a great essay there about both the […]
“…we don’t have a Pavarotti because DANCE DOESN’T RECORD WELL — i.e., it’s not mass-producible, like a Pavarotti CD or video or PBS special, and so there’s no dancer who’ll be viscerally KNOWN to millions of people as Pavarotti was through radio, TV and CDs, and the newspaper headlines generated by his stadium concerts with […]
Hell yeah!
In fact, I almost bought a travelers saxophone. Go ahead, click on the page, and listen to the MP3 file of the sound of the sax. Now, remember that you are listening to it through a dinky little computer, and trust me that in person, you can feel the sound reverberating in your chest. […]
One of my pleasures is visiting the Bristol Renaissance Faire - not only for the chain mail bikinis, but also for the occasional efforts towards authenticity by artisans and performers. You don’t get to hear madrigals too much, or listen to strolling lutenists, or see real busking jugglers working a crowd with wooden balls and […]
The Mercury Theatre’s presentation of Reefer Madness the Musical was such an incredible treat, it’s hard to say where to start. Anchored by the narrator played by Jordan Jackson, who (forgive me for the comparison) reminded me of a young Jim Carrey in terms of comic timing, versatility, and physical comedy, the entire cast was […]
Tomorrow night, before going onstage at the Inferno with Foxy Veronica’s Peach Pies, I’m going to the opening of this musical. I’m sure I’ll miss more than half of the jokes, since I missed the optimum pot-smoking years, but from talking to some cast members (and yes, I’m hoping for an interview with one […]
Can you imagine what someone like Tarik would do with pants like this?
Reminds me of some of the work of Troika Dance…
