Theater

The Salter Family Theatre at Beverly Hills High School (BHHS) reopened on Nov. 13 with a student production of Kate Hamill’s “Little Women.”

The opening night audience at the Pantages was wildly enthusiastic as this historical musical unfolded. 

Continuing our theater journey, I’m like Alice down the rabbit hole. So much to see, so little time. 

“Sondheim’s Old Friends,” now playing at the Ahmanson Theatre in its pre-Broadway run, will make you want to get up and sing and dance with the marvelous cast on stage.

“Noises Off,” a farce in three acts by Michael Frayn, is a play within a play within a play that pokes loving fun at regional productions in towns no one has ever heard of.

Continuing its excellent dance series, The Wallis presented an ambitious Los Angeles Ballet (LAB) program in two acts of choreographic vignettes following the 18 tracks of Max Richter’s “Memoryhouse.”

The Wallis in Beverly Hills is spearheading a dance renaissance in Los Angeles, forming strategic creative partnerships with the companies they present.

“These violent delights have violent ends,” begins the classic Shakespeare play “Romeo & Juliet.”

Get thee to a nunnery, I mean to the Geffen, as soon as possible to immerse yourself in James ljames’ very (very) loose take on the Shakespeare classic “Hamlet.”

World premiere plays by relatively unknown young playwrights can be risky and it was with some trepidation that I entered the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater at the Geffen Playhouse to attend, or as it turns out, be enveloped by “Black Cypress Bayou” by Kristen Adele
