OPENING

“The Andrews Brothers” features a small cast of great singers performing the big band numbers from the 40’s. Backstage hands with the USO suddenly get their chance at greatness when the famous Andrew Sisters can’t perform at the US military base in the Pacific because they have the chicken pox! Three men step forward in their best Patty, Maxene and LaVerne form. The play offers plenty of fun for everyone! Written by Roger Bean, with music by Roger Bean, and directed by Jennifer Novak Chun, it runs September 1 through October 8 at the Theatre Palisades in Pacific Palisades. For tickets call 310-454-1970 or visit www.theatrepalisades.org.

“Lewis and Tolkien” Set in Oxford, England in the autumn of 1963 at the famous “Rabbit Room” of the Eagle and Child Pub, this play is something of a return to the familiar for C.S. Lewis (author of The Chronicles of Narnia) and J.R.R. Tolkien (who wrote The Lord of the Rings). Filled with humor, rousing debate, and reconciliation, the two men learn the true value of their friendship with a little help from a few pints of beer and the energetically curious barmaid, Veronica. Written and directed by Dean Batali, it runs September 2 through October 29 at the Actors Co-op Crossley Theater in Hollywood. For tickets call 323-462-8460 or visit www.ActorsCo-op.org.


“The Sound Inside” Not everything is as it seems behind the ivy-covered walls of Yale, where an unlikely bond leads to an unthinkable favor.

Written by Adam Rapp, and directed by Cameron Watson, it runs September 6 through October 1 at the Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena. For tickets call 626-356-7529 or visit www.pasadenaplayhouse.org.


“Measure Still for Measure” Boston Court’s first-ever immersive play, utilizing the entire building, will take audiences on a journey behind the curtain to experience the layered and intimate complexities of creating theatre. In this play-within-a-play, a renowned director rehearses a spectacular new production of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, “the original #metoo story.” But backstage, there’s an even bigger drama playing out as the power dynamics of the play and the rehearsal blow up in the course of the night. At a time where American theatre as a collective is still struggling to find its new normal post-pandemic, Kubzanky’s Measure STILL for Measure is both a love letter to the art form, as well as an examination of the challenging gray areas that theatre-making demands. Measure STILL for Measure lovingly skewers the delicious behind-the-scenes oddities of the rehearsal behaviors that actors, directors, and stage managers find routine, and the code switching that happens as they oscillate between being fully immersed in the imaginary world of the play to being pulled back to the mundane stressors of the real world. It simultaneously examines the insidious and problematic power dynamics that are inherent in the world of theatre. Written and directed by Jessica Kubzansky, it runs September 7 through October 15 at the Boston Court Pasadena in Pasadena. For tickets call 626-683-6801 or visit www.BostonCourtPasadena.org.

“Freud on Cocaine” Trust me, I’m a doctor.” Jonathan Slavin (Santa Clarita Diet, Dr. Ken, Better Off Ted) stars in Freud on Cocaine, an outrageous new comedy based on the documented letters, notes, dreams, and recollections of neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud that attest to his decade-long use of cocaine, both in his practice and personal life. Written and directed by Howard Skora, it runs September 8 through November 4 at the Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks. For tickets call 818-687-8559 or visit www.whitefiretheatre.com.

But just as they say good night, the myriad possibilities of their futures and a life shared together come rushing to meet them. From their first kiss to their first child, from a horrible tragedy to a second chance, each moment moves with breath-taking speed. A love story told with theatrical flair, An Infinite Ache is as dazzling as it is insightful. Written by David Schulner, and directed by Mia Christou, it runs September 8 through October 1 at the Beverly Hills Playhouse in Beverly Hills. For tickets visit www.crimsonsquare.org/buy-tickets.

The astounding sum these dreamers must attain to get their 22-member cast onto Broadway is $15,000! Written by John Murray and Allen Boretz, and directed by Mareli Mitchel-Shields, it runs September 8 through October 15 at the Lonny Chapman Theatre Main Stage in North Hollywood.

During questioning, all members of the family are lightly or deeply implicated in the girl’s undoing, including Sheila’s fiancé Gerald Croft.

As it races to its startling conclusion, audiences will be left catching their breath. A rollercoaster ride through the danger and damage of girlhood — the teenage wasteland has never been so much twisted fun. This group ends up being a pivotal way for these young women to cope with the grief and lack of control in their lives.
