The Confession of Lily Dare

Fueled by ample amounts of both camp and heart, New Conservatory Theatre Center’s West Coast premiere of Charles Busch’s The Confessions of Lily Dare is a trip down memory lane in which the hilariously melodramatic journey is a dream trip for any fan of the San Francisco drag scene.

Into the Woods

With its Into the Woods, The Mountain Play accentuates in hundreds of touches large and small the humor and whimsical nature of the brilliant lyrics and book while at the same time finding ways to touch our hearts and draw a tear or two as we watch the familiar childhood stories find new lives.  With a crackerjack cast full of superb voices and an impressive orchestra of delightful musicality, The Mountain Play scores a big hit in its 110th season as the Company presents this fractured, farcical, fairy tale that is a musical impossible not to love.

Chinglish

In Chinglish (a word meaning the mash-up of Chinese and English), David Henry Hwang deftly and deliciously constructs a script ripe for the tightly-paced, tongue-in-cheek, tantalizing direction of Jeffrey Lo.  He guides a SF Playhouse cast that is stellar in comedic prowess and stunning in their collective abilities to speak fluent Chinese.

Dear San Francisco

While Dear San Francisco is the perfect place for that special celebration or for bringing those guests from Back East, Dear San Francisco is also a must-see for all of us who treasure the City, its uniqueness, its diversity, and its love of the performing arts of every sort.  Somehow, I missed the initial 420 performances; but I can guarantee you, I will return to this new San Francisco treasure long before the next 420 evenings of sheer, spectacular entertainment.
