Veterans Find an Outlet to the Arts with USVAA by MR Hunter
| |

Keith Jeffreys is making a difference by spearheading the non-profit arts organization United States Veterans Artist Alliance (USVAA). His primary goal is to assist veterans as they reintegrate into civilian life by giving them an outlet to pursue the arts....

LAST CHANCE TO SEE: 'Wait Until Dark' at the Geffen: A Theatrical Thriller
Review by Mark Share
| |
Geffen's new production of the thriller 'Wait Until Dark' is a great play for young people because they'll be scared--and that's not something they expect a live show to be able to do. Without giving much away, this play has about the best cat-and-mouse climax of any thriller, and Matt Shakman's direction worked, we know, because of the gasps and shrieks in the audience. Even if you've seen the Audrey Hepburn film or a prior production of the play, this tense production will make you feel the thrills all over again.
What makes this play rise above the usual thriller fare is the multiple conflicts the writer Frederick Knott invents. At the center is a blind woman terrorized in her basement apartment by three criminals. And Knott writes fights among the criminals too. There's doubt and mistrust between the blind woman and her husband. And then there is that unpredictable teen neighbor girl...

Tasty Pastry at Les Noches du Figaro by Andrea Kirk
| |
This expansive French Bistro seems like it was just dropped from the sky into the middle of the 600 block of Broadway in Downtown L.A. I spotted this place early on a Sunday morning and decided to stop in for breakfast (they open at 8am). The pastries were as good as they looked...

'Falling' Rises to the Challenge at the Rogue Machine by M.R. Hunter
| |
Playwright Deanna Jent's West Coast premiere tackles the subject of autism with emotional verve and reveals the splintering effect it has on family dynamics. Unlike the lighter approach taken in the West Coast premiere of 'On the Spectrum' at the Fountain Theatre earlier this year, Jent's stormy drama paints a devastating but heartening portrait of daily life turned eschew.
The play begins with the relatable strain of child rearing, except in the case of Josh, he is a tall, young man entering into adulthood, easily falling into fits and starts without the ability to control his actions. There is a palpable undercurrent of worry and a hypersensitivity to potential danger. Jent slowly weaves the fear and frustrations of a mother caught between her primal urge to nurture and her own need for self-preservation...

Trick or treat? There will be more treats than tricks for most signs this month. Although there will be bursts of energy and fun activities, we should also be mindful of our thoughts and feelings. Find time for meditation or yoga before the holidays make it so easy to procrastinate. We would do well to balance the whirlwind with deliberate moments of respite in between. The more we get lost in the constant doing is where we may lose sight of our responsibilities. Don't forget to attend to the small stuff too. This is a good period for charity and giving to worthwhile causes...
