“The Last World Octopus Wrestling Champion” by Justin Huertas w/ ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery. Proud to see a great musical that features pinoy/pinay characters & acknowledges Filipino culture! I’m also a sucker for the dangerous (but oh so comforting) hope that “love at first sight” & soulmates exist.
Stage play adaptation of “Behold the Dreamers” at Book-It Repertory Theatre. Well-written captivating storytelling. Reminds me of the sacrifices my immigrant parents made to achieve the American Dream. Loved the juxtaposition between the rich & poor. Surprised that so many seats were empty at such a good play.
“Pass Over” at ACT Theatre. While I support #BlackLivesMatter, I wasn’t a fan of this play’s style. Slow-moving & not very compelling/riveting until after halfway. Too much unnecessary profanity. Good symbolism but I’m sure lots went over my head. #PromisedLand
Watched “Reefer Madness: The Musical.” Blown away by the talent of these community performers (and I’ve seen a professional production of this musical). Most everybody looked so fit when scantily clad! One of the best SecondStory Repertory shows I’ve seen. #marijuana #weed #MaryJane
