“Whip It” – It’s just like every other teen movie

Another stereotypical teenage movie — this time a coming-of-age tale about a girl from a small Texas town who is misunderstood with her emo-like style, her affinity for 80’s Christian metal bands and her forced participation in debutante beauty pageants. Throw in some roller skates, a rink and a few elbows and you have “Whip It.” Drew [...]…

“Peace” at the Getty Villa is sure to Shock and Delight!

The Getty Villa presents Peace, but not as one might expect. Culture Clash is a Chicano/ Latino sketch comedy troupe, which was founded in San Francisco in 1984.  This is probably one of the last theater companies one would expect to be performing a classic Greek play; or is it?

Fate of a Cockroach”, Tawfiq Al-Hakim’s dark satire directed by Ken Sawyer, opened this past weekend to what was, no doubt, a warm reception. The title of the play arouses many questions.

Band performs Saturday Sept. 19 at the Knitting Factory, exudes a personality that makes the show great

When I first heard We Shot The Moon’s new CD, “A Silver Lining”, I wasn’t too impressed. They sounded like All American Rejects meets Something Corporate meets The Starting Line meets The Academy Is. It sounded familiar in an ‘I’ve heard this before’ kind of way. Even though the CD was only OK, I decided [...]…
