What Happens in Gaygas: Must do’s on the Strip
When my good friend Aaron Heier, Associate Editor of GLTNewsNow, asked me recently if I wanted to be a Las Vegas-based writer for the site, I told him, “but there’s not a large gay neighborhood in Las Vegas.” Upon further reflection, though, does there need to be? Isn’t that the point, that in 2010,... »
‘Culture Clash in Americca’
The L.A.-based Culture Clash comedy trio (Richard Montoya, Ricardo Salinas and Herbert Siguenza) is back and up to its old tricks: convincing us that we are all aliens (or insiders; it’s all in the perspective) and here together, and we may as well get along as make life difficult for ourselves. They’ve been doing this... »
‘The Wild Party’
Remember when “banned in Boston” was a badge of artistic honor and a ticket to financial success? Joseph Moncure March’s 1928 The Wild Party, a long narrative poem describing a debauched Jazz Age soiree featuring lust, death, kink and incest, was in fact banned in Beantown (and probably elsewhere), and predictably became March’s most successful... »
‘The Seagull’
I have always found it difficult to work up much sympathy for Mme. Ranevskaya, Chekhov’s best-known heroine, inexplicably moping around about having to sell the family’s cherry orchard and move to an apartment in Paris. How, I still ask myself, could living in Paris be considered a hardship? But The Seagull is another breed of... »
‘Plays by Young Writers’
The Playwrights Project celebrates its 25th year with the presentation of this year’s winners of the California Young Playwrights Contest. The winning scripts run through February 28 at the Lyceum Theatre at Horton Plaza. Three plays get full productions; three others, staged readings. Opening night offered professional productions of three short plays by Benjamin Sprung-Keyser,... »
‘The Marriage Bed’
In the straight world, men are thought to be commitment phobic. In The Marriage Bed, it’s middle-aged Val (Dana Hooley), who has shared a London flat (and a bed) for several years with Jeni (Dre Slaman), 20 years her junior. Jeni is a 30-something attorney of middle-class Indian descent, once married to, now divorced from... »
‘The Revenger’s Tragedy’
What is it that attracts man so strongly to revenge tales? Shakespeare set the scene with the ineffectual Hamlet, who wanted his uncle’s head for the murder of Hamlet’s father and ended up dead himself, in a court strewn with corpses. Following the Elizabethans came the Jacobeans, pushing tales of the lurid and distasteful to... »
‘The Fever’
It’s pretty easy to tap into liberal guilt these days, what with wars of dubious validity, natural disasters upending the lives of thousands and the highest unemployment numbers in decades. In 1991, actor/playwright Wallace Shawn first performed The Fever, a meditation on the awareness of injustice, to mostly negative reviews. But by this decade it... »
Ron Perkov gets Intimate
Ron Perkov began his career as a backup singer for Dionne Warwick. He struck out on his own with “Dance with Me, Take Me Higher”, a song that skyrocketed into the top ten on the Billboard Dance chart and introduced him to a new audience: dance fans. He gave the club world another gem... »
‘Riverdance’
They’ve danced in Red Square, on the Great Wall of China and in Radio City Music Hall. And now Riverdance, the 13-year-old phenom that started as a seven-minute Irish dance segment on a 1994 TV show, is in town on its farewell tour, performing through January 10 at San Diego Civic Theatre. They made their... »
