Local Southern CA High Schoolers Strut their theater stuff this weekend at CSULB TheatreFest 2010

-








Yesterday and today I get to play "Judge" at this year's CSULB 2010 TheatreFest!  

(Question I could see on the faces of the competing groups: Was I a "Kara, Randy, "E" or a SIMON???"


(Answer:  None of them in person, since every performance was on paper.  So on paper I would say I was mostly Ellen, a little of Randy and a little of Simon.  I wasn't dressed in enough bling to be Kara.)

So, yeah, yesterday I saw 30+ comedic scenes by So. Cal. High School kids, and today I get to see even more comedic monologues. Lots of great talent out there! Local theater kids everywhere need to step up their game because the competition is fierce! :o)

Today I get to judge Comedic Monologues today and I'm really looking forward to it!

Such great energy out there and some really talented kids.  It's always a huge surprise who jumps out with the best performance.  I learn something every time I do this!

Love it!

It really was! I loved having the opportunity to be part of this event.

Today was Comedic Monologues which was much more challenging for the kids then Comedic Scenes.

The kids I really thought were brave were the ones who brought in Comedic Classical monologues. THAT is tough to do: To make Shakespeare funny sandwiched in between Christopher Durang and Eric Bogosian.

But, loved the event and now I'm wondering who won?

Will have to post the end results once I find out.

Mysterious Skin: Amazing night of theater at East West Playersysi

-
Last night I made my way up and out of Orange County to go see Mysterious Skin, written by Prince Gomolvilas now enjoying it's Los Angeles premiere at East West Players. ***Note:  I am not a reviewer.  I am not a critic.  (I married one, which is why I can say with confidence, I am not this.  If you want real reviews of Mysterious Skin  you'll have to look to other publications wise enough to have send their press in to cover this show now running at East West Players.) Me? Currently, I am just an Orange County mom who loves theater almost as much as she loves writing.  (True, I used to act, but now I just "mom."  And I write.  But, again to clarify: Not a critic.) And these her blogged thoughts are just my day-after impressions after having seen some great theater in Los Angeles last night. I have to say, I was in a hurry.  I had my kids to juggle,  too pick up from their schools...Dance classes, etc.  Hustling them home (interesting choice of words, in r

I tried to flush Schaeffer's sweater down the toilet.

Especially when those paths go back even farther than high school.  I think he and I were butting heads as far back as elementary school! If my memory serves me right, Schaeffer and I ended up, briefly, in the Guilford Central School together.  Fall 1968.  Yep. I was a newly transplated girl from New Orleans dropped unceremoniously into a tiny, extremely humble elementary school out in the boondocks of southern Vermont.  I had NO idea what the hell I was doing there and was suffering my own case of "Other-itis."   I In my case, as an only child of often charming, but highly eccentric parents, my wild ride hit some very bumpy patches, More on that later. Back to Eric:  See as a newcomer that year to Vermont from New Orleans I had an accent.  I wore dresses and probably continuing too make my parents happy by literally curtseying to the adults they trotted me out to meet. Politely.  Of course.  That was my job.   I can promise you, however, once you curtsy to a farmer, y
