One would think that a play based on a Greek tragedy would be heavy and slow, but that is not the case with Hadestown, now playing at Broadway San Diego.  With charismatic characters and ear-wormy tunes, it feels a bit more like a celebration than a tragedy. [Sandi Masori]

Who would have thought that a play about a terminal disease could be whimsical and fun?  And yet that’s exactly what we get in Kimberly Akimbo, by David Lindsay-Abaire, now playing at Broadway San Diego.   [Sandi Masori]

They take the script to various theaters to see if there’s any interest.  If a theater expresses interest in it, then they offer the theater what’s called an “enhancement fee” towards production costs. This is money that offsets the costs of producing it as a part of the theater’s regular season.  [Sandi Masori]

As October sneaks up on us, you may notice the streets are becoming adorned with the macabre and the shows getting spookier and spookier.  Not to be left out of the fun, the newest show at The Old Globe is Dracula, but this is unlike any Dracula you may have seen before, for this one is “a comedy of terrors.”  [Sandi Masori]

Newly engaged couple Brad Majors (Drew Bradford) and Janet Weiss (Audrey Deubig) break down in the middle of nowhere and find themselves seeking a phone and shelter in a creepy castle.  There they meet Dr. Frank n’ Furter (Nathan Madden) who, like the Dr. Frankenstein he is based on, has a laboratory where he’s making creatures out of parts, except he’s trying to create the perfect romantic/ sexual partner.  [Sandi Masori]
