“light Sensitive” At The Old Globe Theatre

Views:912

KPBS AIRDATE: January 20, 1993 > It's kind of like the blind leading the blind.   The main character in Jim Geoghan's "Light Sensitive" has no vision. The same may be said for the director and for the Globe itself for choosing this unimaginative fluff piece. It seems as if, once a year, the Globe trots out a tired new Read More →

KPBS AIRDATE: December 2, 1992 Season's "Greetings"!   The holiday theater season has officially begun. It's been launched with a laugh at North Coast Repertory Theatre, with "Greetings!" by Tom Dudzick, a new playwright with a great sense of humor.
