Mar 5 - Mar 28. Independence, Iowa, is the lifelong home of Evelyn
Briggs. Her oldest daughter, Kess, is a university professor in
Minneapolis, but she has come home at the request of her sister, Jo
who is concerned for Evelyn's mental health. Kess, a professed
lesbian, wants to cut her family ties once and for all; Jo, an

Still shook about Chelsea. As a boy I was pretty
naive, I guess. A ridiculous idealist who believed GOOD WILL
was the way of the world, that the basic instinct of all men
was doing the right thing first, and if a man failed, if a
man went wrong, well then, he needed our help - along with
our insistence that he pay his debt to society. I
believed, because I was taught, that if a man was sent to
prison it was, it had to be, society's job to rehabilitate
that man. It was our job to try. Most of us
believed that. And somewhere that all got lost, it
went away like a cross-fade on stage; one moment
you’re in the light, the next you’re in the
dark, still able to see the light – but forever lost
to that moment. So it came to pass that we
stopped trying. Punishment was the goal and recidivism
was the result. And I imagine many of us felt disappointed
by that, but faced with such an onslaught of individuals of
little or no conscious, no fear, no feelings, and with a
nonchalant mindless willingness to beat you senseless, to
rape you in a park and kill you, to crush away your
life as if you were no more than a bug, with all that
most of us accepted the hopelessness of it all, I
guess. But, even then, deep in our souls I think we
still wished for each man to have another chance. But
I no longer feel that way about a man who would rape a girl
and then kill her and bury her in the mud. He cannot
be fixed. Nor can the others like him. Put them
away and don't let them out.

Cinderella - Coronado Playhouse
The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is
reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of
originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented
on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews,
CINDERELLA was the most widely viewed program in the
history of the medium. As adapted for the stage, with
great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, the
hearts of children and adults alike still soar when the
slipper fits.
YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU - Vanguard
March 12-28. Vanguard Theatre. Westminster Theatre,
3598 Talbot Str. Point Loma. Box Office 619 224-6263
Meet the Sycamore family, a zany bunch of free-spirited
artists and oddball entrepreneurs. When daughter Alice
announces her new boyfriend’s rich, conservative
parents are coming to dinner, Alice’s family agrees
to act “normal.” But when the prospective in-laws
show up on the wrong night…all bets are off. The
Sycamores are a large, free-spirited, lunatic family
who are seemingly living without visible means of
support. The Kirbys are a wealthy stuffy family of
great self- importance. When romance blossoms between
the only sensible Sycamore family member Alice, and the
Kirby's...
INTO THE WOODS at OnStage Playhouse
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Directed by James
M. McCullock April 2-May 1 Thur Fri Sat 8pm Sun 2pm. A
baker and his wife journey into the woods on a quest to
lift a witch's curse. On the way they cross paths with
Little Red Ridinghood, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and a
menagerie of other fairy tale characters. They pursue
individual wishes until their stories become entangled
in unexpected ways -- revealing what happens after
happily ever after. Stephen Sondheim's wickedly witty
score weaves a magic spell with such bewitching gems as
Children Will Listen, Giants in the Sky, and No One is
Alone.
