‘The Girl Who Made the Milky Way’ at The Colony Theatre

Posted on by

World premiere, family–friendly ‘The Girl Who Made
the Milky Way’ is based on Khoisan myth

BURBANK, Calif. (September 30, 2024) — Imagine Theatre in partnership with The Colony Theatre presents a world premiere, family-friendly theatrical experience inspired by a Khoisan myth. An original commission by Imagine Theatre, The Girl Who Made the Milky Way is written by acclaimed playwright June Carryl and directed by Imagine artistic director Armina LaManna. Five public performances will empower girls and transfix boys ages five and up from November 9 through November 17 at Burbank’s Colony Theatre. Nine additional weekday matinees are available for school field trips November 12 through November 22.

The Khoisan, an ancient ethnic group with a long and intriguing history, are believed to be the oldest human inhabitants of southern Africa. In the play, a young girl, Little Sister (Stakiah Lynn Washington), evolves from struggling with her place and duties among her people to embracing her uniqueness, voice, courage, and identity. Supported by a cast of archetypal characters in the form of animals, trees, mountains and spirits (Jamela Asha, Edward Hong, Max Lawrence, Carter Michael and Makha Mthembu), Little Sister braves the dangers of the African savanna and confronts the unfair expectations the world has of her because she is a girl. Not only does she help find her father by creating the stars of the night skies, but she also discovers her true self.

Theatre Review: Demolition

Posted on by

Marcy (Terry Davis) needs to remodel her house, so she hires Chuck (Brian Letscher), a smart and successful contractor. Chuck sends his employee Doug (Keith Stevenson) to do the job. Doug is training Paul (Ryan Foust), Chuck’s son. Paul is about to graduate from high school to go to college to study filmmaking. Everything looks normal, except that Paul has a secret that threatens to ruin his future.

Doug and Chuck know each other from their high school days. Doug also knows Chuck’s wife June (Tracie Lockwood). As a matter of fact, Doug and June were dating in high school. Chuck’s jealousy and distrust is not apparent, but it’s a latent issue, building up as a pressure cooker about to explode. Doug’s dubious business practices and sleazy behavior with his female customers adds tension to the already delicate situation. In the meantime, Paul gets in trouble at school. Marihuana is found in his locker, and he is being blackmailed by a girl in his class. 

Trying to fix Paul’s situation, Doug and June arrange for Paul to talk to Mr. France (Tony Pasqualini), the school’s principal who likes to drink and appears to smoke weed as well. Playwright Matthew Letscher uses the relationship between Doug and Paul as a symbol of role models that have a profound influence in a young person’s life. Paul, and to some extent June, see Doug as a reliable source of advice in times of need.

The relationship among the characters is an example of missed opportunities and how the past can’t be buried in its totality. Whatever pieces are left, they will continue to influence our decisions later in life. For better or worse, is Doug the one who pays the highest price. He has to pick up—figurative and physically—the shattered pieces of the damaged relationships among the characters. Demolition does not refer to physical destruction only.

Not only is the text superb, the direction by Max Mayer is also remarkable. He gives the actors plenty of room to explore and exteriorize the nuances demanded of each character. All of this without loosing the exceptional touch of comedy, present throughout the play, and exceptionally executed by all of the six actors. The set suffers some serious abuse. Kudos to Mayer and his set designer, Jay Tyson, for the amazing job on that department.

Doug, a blue-collar worker, left behind and willing to sacrifice his own interests for the benefit of others, is the centerpiece of the play. The inception and execution of this character leave the audience rooting for him. You know there’s something especial in front of you with that kind of empathic reaction. This is another win for Pacific Resident Theatre under the artistic direction of Marilyn Fox, who continues to demonstrate her great taste in selecting productions that become an instant hit with the audience.

Theatre Review: Red Light Winter

Posted on by

Manhattan residents Matt (Ryan Lisman) and Davis (Trent Culkin) go on a trip to Amsterdam. Davis hires the services of Christina (Natalie Valentine), a prostitute, who claims to be French. In a rare form of ménage à trois, their sexual encounters reveal the emptiness of their lives and the desperate search for human connection.

In the first scene, Matt tries to commit suicide with his belt. He fails miserably and the act seems rather comical. Davis brings Christina to the room to introduce her to Matt. Davis is a bully and is constantly making fun of Matt’s medical condition involving his intestines. As a successful editor at a publishing company, Davis exudes an air of superiority, always putting down whoever is close to him. Before introducing her to Matt, Davis has sex with Christina. She gets infatuated with Davis right away, but agrees to spend time with Matt.

Once Davis leaves the room, Christina has sex with an insecure and dorky Matt. Just like his suicide attempt, the sex with Christina is quick and funny. He falls asleep instantly (like, instantly) after orgasming. Christina then gets out of the room, leaving her red dress behind. Matt wakes up and holds the red dress in his arms, showing his infatuation with Christina.

The second act shows Matt in his apartment, back in New York. He continues to be in touch with Davis. Surprisingly, Christina knocks on the door. She is looking for Davis. She reveals her true identity and confides her devastating secret to Matt, who is still infatuated with her.

Playwright Adam Rapp references different authors in the script. The one that stands out is Henry Miller. Matt, who is a playwright, is writing a play using roman à clef, a genre in which Miller wrote The Rosy Crucifixion, a trilogy documenting a period of his life. In the same literary genre, Matt is writing about his life. He includes characters depicting himself, Davis, and Christina.

Billy Ray Brewton‘s direction is extraordinary. He makes sure his actors exteriorize the complications of dynamic relationships and the unrequited love Matt and Christina experience in that unhealthy love triangle. The blocking, lighting, and props set the characters’ traits and the atmosphere of the story.

This is a character-driven play and the three actors are up to the task. Culkin creates a cold and arrogant character that leaves a trail of damage as he interacts with the people around him. Valentine is exceptional as well. She gives Christina the emotional fragility to search for a connection in the wrong places with the wrong people, suffering dire consequences as a victim of the circumstances. Lisman offers a magnetic performance. He infuses his character with a frustrating inability to connect with a woman, exhibiting shyness, vulnerability, and a weird fetishism for Christina’s red dress. He plays a hopeless and pathetic Matt in such a way that the audience care and feel for his pain. All he gets from Christina, his impossible love, is a “you’re very sweet” compliment, a potential-relationship-killer phrase.

Beneath the humor of Rapp’s brilliant script, is a riveting story of three individuals experiencing the isolation and desolation of their souls, a powerful exposition of contemporary society’s emotional emptiness.

‘Magic for Animals’ coming to the Elysian on October 5th!

Posted on by

‘Magic for Animals’ coming to the Elysian on October 5th!

“Magic for Animals” is an unapologetically witty and insightful one-woman show employing sparkling, incisive humor and magic to conjure laughs and hard hitting truths. Magic engages pressing issues of animal welfare, climate change, and sexism through a continuous personal narrative woven throughout each illusion, ultimately paving a way forward with empathy and self-awareness. Supremely stylish, Liz is praised as “daring” while showing “vulnerability, empathy, and above all humor,” by L.A. Dance Chronicle. Cincy Fringe reviewers call her a “fantastic storyteller…fearless” (The Sappy Critic) and “delightful…polished” (The League of Cincinnati Theatres). Edinburgh critics comment how “she commands the stage” (To Do List) and note how “the audience waits on her every word” (FringeReview). Broadway World raves that “The piece is clean, heartfelt, and demonstrative of a level of craft that will make it a Fringe Festival standout”. “Magic For Animals” is an unforgettable experience where making a difference is as important as making you laugh.

Liz Toonkel is a creative force who believes in the storytelling power of design in theater and visual art. As a queer Jewish female magician, performance artist and animal rights activist she felt the magic show format needed shaking up and was in urgent need of fresh approaches. Toonkel is “an irresistible performer who deserves to break out in the UK and worldwide” (To Do List) and her work ranges from performance and installations to films.
