Shakespeare’s Richard II…on Trapeze

Just when I thought people had run out of new interpretations for Shakespeare, other than setting his plays in high school starring various young starlets and heartthrobs, The Sonnnet Repertory Theatre proves me wrong. Their current production of Richard II involves actors swinging around on the trapeze. It’s like seeing

Make a Movie With James Franco!

Okay, guys.  Truth be told, I don’t really want to share this with you.  Why?  Well, I’m about to talk about a drawing.  A drawing I really, really want to win.  And statistically, the less people that enter the drawing, the better my odds are of winning. All right, I

“Pay What You Want Week” for God’s Ear at the Ashby Stage

I’m still  in recovery mode after yesterday’s Bay to Breakers madness.  Most of the day is blurry but I do recall trying to break-up a fight and getting knocked on my ass.  At least I think that’s what happened.  For all I know I could’ve just fallen down.  Regardless, I’m
