This is first entry excites me. Its goes right along with my theme now. Troubadour Theater Co. is putting up "Oedipus the King, Mama!" The synopsis says it's a "Maternal Musical", mixing the classic tragedy with the music of Elvis Presley. I guess he sings for the love of his Mama! I gotta see this, so you'll have the low down soon.

This Play is a favorite of mine, and one I have wanted to do for a couple years now, "Boston Marriage" by David Mamet. If you love Mamet's style, you have to see it or at least read it. It is set at the turn of the 20th century, where we find two women in a relationship that may be both physical and emotional. This play proves that Mamet can write for women!

"Manuscript" by Paul Grellong was one that I thought I might have watched a scene from at Beverl Hills Playhouse, but now that I have checked it out more, I guess not. Still looks good to me. Catchy, fast-paced dialoge between three young twenty something, struggling writers. Reminds me of "This is our Youth", without them being writers, ANYWAY another must read. I digress. I thought this would help bring some relevance to my selections. It is only about four years old, with a young cast.
