Story
Mainly Mozart Festival’s Artistic Partner Stephen Prutsman opened his Evolution at the Abbey series, a cabaret concert that features current Mexican classical and popular music, Thursday (May 15) at the charming, historic Bankers Hill venue . . .
The Carlsbad Music Festival’s combination of Mexican popular music and traditional Chinese pipa performance furnishes an unequivocal sign that the elitist, “who cares if you don’t listen,” approach to new music is fading. Tuesday (May 13) at Carlsbad’s St. Michael’s-by-the-Sea Church, pipa virtuosa Wu Man and the four musicians of Son de San Diego offered a unique fusion of oriental and occidental music . . .
Three aging, frustrated flight attendants are alone in a hotel room with a 17-year-old drug dealer. That conjures up all sorts of images, and ‘Mud Blue Sky’ author Marisa Wegrzyn gets kudos for not stating the obvious (i.e., going there). Her play, the current MOXIE Theatre entry, is really funny, too — the problem is that you might wonder what it’s all for.
It’s the little things — like a person’s penchant for the law, a person’s sexual persuasion, even a person’s middle name — that make big characters. With Diversionary Theatre’s ‘Thrill Me,’ not only aren’t there any characters; there’s barely a play.
