WHAT: Waking Up to All of Me
WHERE: Zephyr Theatre, 7456 Melrose Avenue
WHY: Amber’s one-person show invites us to journey with her through the moments that took her away from the most expressive and shining parts of herself. She instead started to defer to the needs and the dysfunction of others, while trying to protect them, too. It is a story you would not expect from such a powerful, graceful woman and that is what makes the show powerful. This story is a chance to consider that we are not privy to the winding path a person has tread to wake up to all of who they are. These are stories worth hearing.

WHO: Nancy Beverly
WHAT: Sister From Another Planet
WHERE: Zephyr Theatre , 7456 Melrose Avenue
WHY: This show is a combination of humor, wit and charm. At its core, it is about self-discovery. What starts as a love for books and a series of nudges from the universe leads Nancy Beverly on a personal journey toward finding her true identity. Is Nancy a boy or a girl? It’s a question she is asked as a child and it’s one that stays with her until a spiritual awakening brings her to the answers she seeks. Every moment of this solo play is a precious, well crafted masterpiece, which is not surprising because Nancy Beverly is an accomplished writer. But, there’s also the added layer of warmth and vulnerability in her performance that adds so much heart to the piece. The tone of the play is lighthearted and sweet and the performance is thoroughly engaging.

WHAT: Runaway Rue
WHERE: The Actors Company (Other Space Theater) 916 N. Formosa Av
WHY: Because it is wonderful to enjoy and laugh and remember what it’s like to love and be loved by furry friends! And the puppets are absolutely wonderful—I fell in love with all of them. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. One of my favorite parts (other than the singing and the puppets) was watching a child watch the musical with complete engagement and wonder. If you have children, be sure to take them to see this delightful and fun musical that teaches us the true meaning of home. You just might giggle and sing on the way out of the theater.

WHO: Rena Kaneta & Hiroshi Hosokawa – Produced by Alice in Project*
WHAT: The Guardians of Wonder
WHERE: Asylum @ McCadden Theatre, 1157 N. McCadden Place
WHY: Nothing is more vital to the arts than the rising need to support the voices of women artists worldwide. As soon as I entered the theatre, a chill of excitement filled my entire body, and I knew I was in for a new theatrical experience. To create new theatre work, one must not be afraid to go outside the box. To have no fear in creating a new path of storytelling is not easy, yet that is exactly what the ensemble and creative team of “The Guardians of Wonder” has done. To have them in Los Angeles sharing this play is a wonderful expansion to our local theatre scene.
The original choreography and sword fighting were exhilarating, surprising and thrilling. The actresses were magnificent and commanded the stage with grace as they fought with power and confidence. The original music and projections truly assisted in creating and setting the play’s tone as a live-action anime visual experience for the audience. My imagination was running wild; I thought of the classic anime shows “Sailor Moon” and “Dragon Ball Z.” The costumes designed by Rena were divine and immersed you into the story with care and clarity. My only regret is that the play ended before I was ready for it to! May we see more of this type of original work when it comes to telling and supporting stories in the theatre? BRAVO! to the entire ensemble and creative team. May you continue to imagine and manifest.

WHAT: Grown Up Orphan Annie
WHERE: The Broadwater (Studio) 1078 Lillian Way
WHY: Fun and endearing! The playwright/actress/singer/songwriter, Katherine Bourne Taylor, delights and entertains with her solo performance of Little Orphan Annie all grown up. Katherine sings and reflects and eulogizes about her long lost father, all the while looking for a new best friend and engaging the audience with a sly smile—to the delight of the audience. There was a lot of laughter and clapping, which was contagious. But don’t be fooled—there are provocative issues woven throughout the clever performance.
