REVIEW – Cabaret – Broadway San Jose

Posted on June 8, 2017 by Artsalot

I’ve seen Cabaret multiple times over the years and it’s always such a surprise to me. Not by the sexual content, that usually sticks out between viewings (no pun intended), but I still get caught completely off guard by the … Continue reading →

REVIEW- Bonnie & Clyde – San Jose Stage

Posted on June 10, 2014 by Artsalot

When seeing a musical, one of the questions I always try to ask myself is “Is this story told better by being a musical?” In the case of Bonnie and Clyde at San Jose Stage, I think I was wooed … Continue reading →

Posted on May 28, 2014 by Artsalot

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat…what ARE you? I mean, I don’t…I can’t…I just…I’m not sure I know what to do with you. You’re just all over the place. Broadway San Jose typically surprises and woos me, winning me over … Continue reading →

Musing/PREVIEW – The Soul Stirring of Visual Art & the upcoming Silicon Valley Contemporary Art Event in San Jose

Posted on March 27, 2014 by Artsalot

I know it doesn’t seem “right” but, if I’m totally honest (and I think you know I usually am) I don’t understand or really like probably 95% of the visual art I’ve seen. I’ve been lucky enough to see some world-class … Continue reading →

MINI Review- Blood Punch – Cinequest

Posted on February 26, 2014 by Artsalot

If Groundhog Day, Memento, Breaking Bad and a large segment of the horror films released in the last decade were to somehow procreate, the resulting love/WTF child would be the awesomely bizarre, witty and twisted film Blood Punch.  With strong psychological thriller, romance, horror … Continue reading →

REVIEW – Next Fall – San Jose Rep

Posted on October 28, 2013 by Artsalot

This was a rough last couple of weeks for those around me. An unnatural assault of devastating losses and completely unexpected challenges seem to have tumbled into the lives in my periphery, coinciding with the initially regret-tainted, always-too-soon transition of … Continue reading →

REVIEW – A Minister’s Wife – San Jose Repertory Theatre

Posted on July 5, 2013 by Artsalot

Somehow I’ve made it through life as double English and Drama major, audience member and longtime theater participant without ever having seen or read a version of George Bernard Shaw’s Candida. While possibly shocking, this is really neither here nor … Continue reading →

REVIEW- The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus – San Jose Repertory Theatre

Posted on May 28, 2013 by Artsalot

A play is like kind of like a recipe. You take some ingredients, you mix them all about, you let it bake, you serve it up and you hope that everyone (whose taste buds are as individual as finger prints) … Continue reading →
