Writing Fragments Home
Hillbarn Theatre & Conservatory’s world premiere of Jeffrey Lo’s “Writing Fragments Home” should be on the to-do list of anyone and everyone who loves a good laugh and little cry in a way that can only happen in live theatre.
Cyrano
There is much to revel and enjoy in this gender-bending update of the original 1897-written “Cyrano.” Los Altos Stage Company audiences will find many reasons to laugh as well as an ending that will draw a heartfelt tear or two in Jeffrey Lo and Max Tachis’ new adaptation.
Zorro
Whether an aficionado of Puccini, an admirer of Latin songs, or a fan of adventurous tales, Opera San Jose’s eye-popping, heart-pumping “Zorro” by Héctor Armienta is an evening not to be missed.
Two Trains Running
Bravo to American Conservatory Theatre for welcoming the touring Acting Company onto its stage and for giving the Bay Area a chance to enter Memphis’ diner for an evening of August Wilson’s “Two Trains Running” where humor and rage, reality and supernatural, hard work and luck offer duo-tracks toward a dream and destination of deserved justice for all.
The Underpants
