Theater Review: ADOLESCENT SALVATION (Theater Wit / Chicago)
TEENAGE WASTELAND Growing up is hell in Tim Venable’s funny, disturbing and morally murky gearshift play In the late 1990s, filmmaker P.T.

Theater Preview: KAIJU (The Road Theatre Company & BroadStage / Los Angeles)

Theater Review: BEING PIAF (Odyssey Theatre Ensemble / Los Angeles)
PIAF, WITHOUT THE PARROTING Eleanora Owen finds the heartbreak and defiance inside the Little Sparrow’s songs Édith Piaf’s life overflowed with the severest of extremities: the writhing, rapturous harmony of joyous consonances and agonized dissonances, hastened with the rapidity of a tempo that flamed out after a brief 47 years, and woven with counterpoints of…

IN TEACHING MUSIC, THE EXAMPLE HAS TO BE THE REAL THING
Anyone who has tried to teach music at a distance runs into the same wall within about a week: the thing being taught cannot be written down, and it cannot be paraphrased either. A producer explaining why a hi hat pattern sits behind the beat can describe it in a paragraph, and the paragraph will…

Off-Broadway Review: THE REAL IVANOV (Initiative Productions / New York)
IVANOV GETS THE SHORT END Chekhov’s despair survives the cuts, but the production struggles to connect the pieces It is difficult to make depression theatrically vivid when its essential symptoms are misery, inertia, and the absence of purpose rather than anything visually dramatic.
