And so it begins. Another year. We are officially IN this decade. It has to be better than the last, but when it comes to theater, 2010 showed some promise. New York Times columnist Ben Brantly busted out with his top 10 in 2010 with plays like The Merchant of Venice at the Broadhurst Theater, A View from the Bridge at the Cort Theater and one of my all time Favs, A Lie of the Mind at the Acorn Theater.

Other bloggers are looking ahead to 2011. Don Shirley, blogger for LA Times, has a wish list. Pasadena Playhouses triumph over bankruptcy, South Coast Reps new artistic director, and that the RADAR LA festival of new cutting-edge theater in June might be what the LA "low profile" theater scene needs to prove to the nation their worth.

COMING TO L.A.
God of Carnage
The original Broadway cast is bringing this Tony Award winning play to Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theatre. The production will run April 5 through May 15. God of Carnage follows two pairs of upper class parents who try to have a civilized discussion after their young sons get into a schoolyard fight. Their attempts at socializing soon falls apart as they end up at each other's throats.
The show's lead Broadway producers Stuart Thompson and Robert Fox will again oversee the production, along with producers David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers, Scott Rudin, Jon B. Platt, the Weinstein Company and the Shubert Organization.
