This production marks a pretty significant achievement, in that it completes the Shakespeare canon for the Globe, meaning that over the course of its history, The Old Globe has produced all of Shakespeare’s plays, thereby joining a very small club of theaters that have done so.  [Sandi Masori]

As for the plot, basically the red team and blue team are at war and are competing in acrobatics and aerial tricks.  The only problem is that one of the blue girls is in love with one of the red boys.  The two keep trying to come together, only to be pulled away by their teams.  [Sandi Masori]

For all of us in our adult life, there comes a time in our life when we weigh our dreams against the practicality of paying the bills. This is exactly the theme of Tick Tick Boom, which is currently playing at Cygnet Theater.  [Sandi Masori]

Backyard Renaissance theater often picks plays that make you think or question your perceptions. Its printed program describes this as “art to the gut.” The current production, The Beauty Queen of Leenane is a good example of that. [Sandi Masori]

I think that The Color Purple, now playing at New Village Arts theater in Carlsbad may just be the best play I have seen there yet. The cast is uber talented and cohesive, and wow! what powerful voices.  [Sandi Masori]

The play is cute once you figure out the various players.  The only actors that don’t play multiple parts are Macias and Austin, so it does take a bit in the beginning to follow the fast character changes (illustrated by costume changes or putting on a smock or shawl).  Dagmar Krause Fields for example, is the narrator, Miss Matilda Crawley, and Lord Steyne.
