Stifters Dinge, created by the innovative German composer/director Heiner Goebbels, is the latest of his works to stretch the boundaries of live performance. The 70-minute-long sonic performance landscape was inspired by the writings of 19th-century Austrian romantic novelist Adalbert Stifter extended and minutely-detailed descriptions of nature. The title translates as 'Stifters Things.'

Let's get one thing straight right from the start. Men do not write monologues about their penises. They don't. Men don't say things like, 'I'm worried about penises,' and they don't require a context of other penises in order to understand this limb that dangles between their legs and jumps up like a puppy whenever it wants to play. We don't think of our genitals as a dark Bermuda Triangle; more like the sleek and powerful jet that's headed its way.

REVIEW: When you sit down to watch the year-old national tour of LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL (now playing at the Orange County Performing Arts Center through September 28), you will find a wildly entertaining piece of theater, that not only brings a 'right now' vibe to the Broadway musical, it also provides two-and-a-half solid hours of infectious smiles, crowd-pleasing dance numbers, and a clever, memorable, smart-aleck score. The show is brought to life by an athletically-gifted, aesthetically-pleasing ensemble that's giddy from ear to ear.
