OUR CLASS
OUR CLASS Presented by SON OF SEMELE ENSEMBLE at the ATWATER VILLAGE THEATRE I WOULD NEVER SEE IT BECAUSE: Another holocaust play? Wow, I’m so excited to be uplifted by such a bucket of yuks.

FRINGE - The Lights Are Off
THE LIGHTS ARE OFF At THE UNDERGROUND THEATRE for Hollywood Fringe I WOULD NEVER SEE IT BECAUSE Another college play about college students doing college things. Yawn sauce.

WWIS: Nine Circles
NINE CIRCLES At THE BOOTLEG I WOULD NEVER SEE IT BECAUSE: Another war play? Really? I just want to have a good time and chill, dude. Why you gotta be, so, you know, like, come on?

WWIS: David Dean Bottrell Makes Love
DAVID DEAN BOTTRELL MAKES LOVE: A ONE-MAN SHOW At ROGUEMACHINE I WOULD NEVER SEE IT BECAUSE: Holy God, save me from another indulgent one-man show from a Hollywood hopeful or industry semi-insider. THAT’S NOT FAIR BECAUSE: You clearly haven’t seen a lot of decent one-person shows lately. I apologize for your misery, but there are folks out there who are not only fully capable of...
