Posted on October 25, 2015 by Artsalot

REVIEW – Game On – San Jose Rep

So the Rep has been batting .400 this season… Yeah, sorry, I can’t do it. I don’t even know what that means. In the interest of full disclosure, I don’t get baseball. I’ll give you a second to get over … Continue reading →

REVIEW – The Three Penny Opera – San Jose Stage

Posted on February 17, 2014 by Artsalot

It’s not all light, it’s not all “right” but, it’s certainly all tight.  San Jose Stage’s The Three Penny Opera is full of dark, biting satire, political commentary and very stylized performances, consistent in its choices throughout and solidly stocked … Continue reading →

Posted on February 12, 2014 by Artsalot

Oh, R. Buckminster Fuller, how you woo me with your big words and your even bigger ideas. I guess I’ve always been a complete and utter fool for ephemeralization, I just never knew until I saw San Jose Rep’s R. Buckminster Fuller, the … Continue reading →

REVIEW – HEDDA GABLER – CITY LIGHTS THEATER COMPANY

Posted on April 12, 2013 by Artsalot

Move over Joan Collins. Take a number Omarosa. Not so fast Mommy Dearest. Don’t call us, we’ll call you Scarlett O’Hara. If anything opens up in the cray-cray division we’ll let you women know, but we’ve already got an unstable, … Continue reading →
