A Love Letter to Theatre, Actors, and Identity

The play takes place in 1606 in London’s Globe Theater, when it was frowned upon for women to be onstage, so instead, all female characters were played by young male actors, known as boy players. Playwright Zoe Senese-Grossberg explores this as well as how young boys were “mentored” to play these different characters, love interests, and seductresses in the Shakespeare plays along with older men.

Disney’s Beauty and The Beast The Musical Comes Back to San Diego During Celebration of One-Year Tour

I was fortunate enough to handle the Spanish-speaking press for the 2011, 2014, and 2015 touring productions on their San Diego engagements. I know the show well, so getting to experience it eleven years later, now, back with Disney, I got emotional, not going to lie.

Onstage Playhouse Debuts Lucas Hnath’s “Isaac’s Eye”

I commend Onstage on its resilience while navigating a wild rent increase (amongst other outrageous costs), and a GoFundMe to finish the last two productions in its season; the company has not announced repertoire in 2027 due to its lease being up in February and surviving in limbo or “life support,” as James Darvas, Artistic Director, mentioned in an interview. With all that, the curtain is rising, and performances for Isaac’s Eye are taking place until July 19th, with an added performance on Wednesday, July 15, due to the Mexico-England World Cup match happening this Sunday. Resilient and able to read the room!

La novela Les nostres mares, escrita originalmente en catalán, se ha traducido a varios idiomas. Una colección de historias de mujeres nacidas durante la dictadura de Franco. Desde la introducción empiezan los cuestionamientos, la incertidumbre y la injusticia: “¿Qué soñaba ser tu madre?

El Diablo Viste a la Moda 2

Normalmente, cuando un libro inspira un formato cinematográfico, este no supera lo escrito. En el caso de Prada, es lo contrario. (Con el libro de Wicked, parecido, pero ese es tema para otra entrada). Y es que la guionista Aline Brosh McKenna le dio una buena sarandeada al libro de Weisberger, resultando en una película muy pop, pero también con mensaje. No solamente con respecto a la moda, al consumismo, a la fijación por el cuerpo esbelto de la mujer, etc. Hay mensajes sobre la relación de pareja, el equilibrio entre la vida y el trabajo, las luchas de poder y la traición en el mundo corporativo.

Teatro Alebrijes is Back in Los Angeles with “Carlota: Alhajero de Secretos”

The Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca was a trailblazer with his surrealist style while uplifting his homeland, Granada, and the southern Spanish Autonomous Community of Andalucía. It was interesting to see Lorca’s reimagined The House of Bernarda Alba through Carlota: Alhajero de Secretos, written by Rodrigo García and Ugho Badú.
