You gotta keep him here, Miss Jeffries. He’s the goose who laid the golden egg.



When local radio producer Marcia Jeffries interviews drunk drifter “Lonesome Rhodes” in his jail cell, she immediately sees his potential and gives him a slot on her show. But as Lonesome's fans grow more clamorous and the politicians start taking notice, Marcia realises she has unleashed a force she can no longer control.



Featuring original songs by Grammy Award-winner Elvis Costello, A Face in the Crowd highlights the dangers of elevating celebrities to positions of unchecked power. Young Vic Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah directs the world premiere of Sarah Ruhl’s (Eurydice, The Clean House) adaptation of the Hollywood classic.

Review: YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN at The Belmont Theatre
by Jason Davis - Aug 8, 2023


What did our critic think of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN at The Belmont Theatre? A musical produced in a black box theater with only six cast members is an ambitious challenge for a community theater. With the up-close environment, every performer must be both a talented actor and accomplished vocalist. Although not without a few missteps, this hilarious production of You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown at The Belmont Theatre showcases six remarkably talented performers.  

Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Presented by Drag Daddy Productions and The Chicken Coop
by Taylor Clemons - Aug 7, 2023


What did our critic think of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Drag Daddy Productions And The Chicken Coop? Every once in awhile, a show comes around that manages to wedge its self in the center of a triple vin-diagram, overlapping in critical acclaim, commercial success, and the hardest to crack, overwhelmingly beloved by the theater community. I’d venture to say that Jesus Christ Superstar is one of those rare shows to land in the center of this hypothetical chart. The theatre community adores Jesus Christ Superstar as a musical, which is part of the reason it’s had such a long life and had continued to be produced for the better part of the last 50 years.

Review: INTO THE WOODS at Ahmanson Theatre
by Evan Henerson - Jul 4, 2023


the latest Broadway revival of INTO THE WOODS that wraps up its national tour at the Ahmanson Theatre, is fantastic. Director Lear deBessonet’s spin on this tale of wishes granted and their consequences both embraces the spirit of Lapine’s original productions and also sends the material off in a different direction.
