Theatre Review: Sexual Perversity In Chicago,” “state Of The Art,” And “sisters” At The Fritz Theatre

Views:1024

Published in Gay and Lesbian Times March 21, 2003 Put sex in the title and you're sure to draw sellout crowds. This is at least the fourth time the homeless-and-much-missed Fritz Theatre has mounted "Sexual Perversity," David Mamet's first Off Broadway endeavor, penned in 1976. Artistic director Duane Daniels has poked and prodded, stroked and penetrated the piece, but he's come back to cross-gender casting, which is Read More →

Theatre Review: “Cocks Have Claws And Wings To Fly” At SDSU

Views:1115

Published in Gay and Lesbian Times March 21, 2003 No, it's not those kinds of cocks. But there's enough symbolism in the play to include that, too. The titular birds and their various attributes comprise the running theme of this new play by Texan Amparo Garcia. In the face of attack, the choice (claws or wings) is Fight or Flight. And so it is in this crazy Tex-Mex family, where a visit from Mom has wrought Read More →

KPBS AIRDATE: March 21, 2003 It's a theater dim sum -- a little of this, a little of that -- in a series of one-acts featuring a hilarious new work stuffed between a raunchy comedy and a gut-spilling melodrama. The triple bill brings back the homeless-and-much-missed Fritz Theatre, with its fourth mounting of "Sexual Perversity in Chicago," the 1976 David Mamet spoof that Read More →

Theatre Review: “ Uncle Vanya ” At New Village Arts

Views:994

KPBS AIRDATE: March 14, 2003 By most accounts, and in most productions, Uncle Vanya is a depressive, a broken middle-aged man who has subordinated his own dreams and ambitions to providing support for his esteemed brother-in-law, a scholar he ultimately views as an intellectual sham. In the New Village Arts production, Vanya appears to be a rather young alcoholic with the DTs-- a hyper, twitchy, sputtering, Read More →

Theatre Review: “ Cabaret ” At North Coast Repertory Theatre “ I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change ” At Starlight At Sycuan

Views:986

KPBS AIRDATE: March 07, 2003 Musical theater comes in all flavors, the airy, sweet fluff of "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change," or the rich, nourishing bite of "Cabaret." Both are very well served on San Diego stages; it's all a matter of taste. If you savor theater fare of the frothy and succulent type, you'll relish "Love-Perfect." A series of songs and vignettes, it Read More →
