Mo`olelo Performing Arts Company

Subtext Is King in Mo`olelo’s Decent ‘Cell’

By Martin Jones Westlin | October 2, 2015 |

Sociopolitically correct Mo`olelo Performing Arts Company resumes its full-fledged stage activity with a pretty good world-premiere ‘Cell,’ designed as a commentary on likeminded social groups and the reproach they experience when society necessarily places them at odds.

Circle’s earnest “2.0” has the community, and military life, in its sights

By Martin Jones Westlin | February 4, 2014 |

Maybe Circle Circle dot dot needs to get more specific in its references to the city it seeks to portray and reflect. Even so, its “San Diego, I Love You, 2.0” features two very good performances in this story about military life and a couple’s sacrifice within it. The scrappy company understands that theater is a terribly public act, and its site-specific approach isn’t lost on an art form that’s been embracing community-based performance forever.
