A FRESH LOOK AT AN OLD STEREOTYPE: "NEW EYES" @ THE WHITEFIRE THEATRE by M.R. Hunter
From an Israeli boot camp to a Hollywood film set, Yafit Josephson's amusing one-woman show relates the obstacles of type casting, stereotypes and labels as she discovers her own identity. With an unflappable spirit and a natural sense of comedic timing, Josephson chronicles her personal struggle with acceptance from one homeland to the other, finding herself an unofficial "ambassador" between two diametrically different cultures in a profession that makes her out to be a terrorist...

TAKING THE BAO ROAD THROUGH MONTEREY PARK by Abby Abanes
Mama's Lu, Dean Sin World, Giang Nan and Shau May Restaurant.
In 2008, I did a Xiao Long Bao (XLB) Crawl that started in San Gabriel and ended at Din Tai Fung in Arcadia. However, Monterey Park also boasts some XLB goodness which I've been able to experience since that time and thought I'd share some of those meals in this post, starting with Mama's Lu Dumpling House...

DARK BUT POTENT: "BLACKBIRD" AT THE ROGUE MACHINE
by M.R. Hunter
The title of the play inspired by the Beatles song of the same name won't be the only reason audiences will likely leave shaking their heads in utter gobsmack. In the space of 90 minutes, this small but significant two-hander by David Harrower shocks with harrowing but credulous psychological twists and turns as a young woman and an older man confront their sordid past...

WHAT THE NUMBERS TELL US: WOMEN'S VOICES ARE MISSING
by Jennie Webb
Tallying the results of the recent Tony Awards, one number pops out: zero. There were no women playwrights receiving a 2011 Tony Award. In fact, no women were nominated for playwriting. Because, according to NY's Guerrilla Girls on Tour, no plays by women were produced on Broadway during the 2010/2011 season.
Say what...?

POST-APOCALYPTIC BUZZKILL: "DEITY CLUTCH" AT THE HOLLYWOOD FRINGE FESTIVAL by M.R. Hunter
There's been some positive buzz surrounding the classical theater company, The Porters of Hellsgate ambitious Fringe Festival, post-apocalyptic drama by Gus Krieger. Unfortunately, this review won't be among them so consider me the buzzkill.
At best, Krieger linguistically aspires to new heights but at worst the uneven performances and graphic novel/anime inspired storyline doesn't ultimately grab hold-it just keeps plodding along. There are moments with excellent turns of phrase and an impressive relating of mythos throughout, but occasionally it sounds as though Krieger is taken in by his own prolixity...
