  1. Theater review: 'Dancing at Lughnasa' from Mad Cow Theatre

    There's a beautifully disturbing undercurrent of change in Brian Friel's "Dancing at Lughnasa."
    There's a beautifully disturbing undercurrent of change in Brian Friel's "Dancing at Lughnasa." It's 1936 in rural Ireland, and 7-year-old Michael goes to school now. Radios are displacing gramophones as a source of entertainment. And the world order...

  5. Theater review: 'The Walworth Farce' at Freud Playhouse

    Culture Monster
    Family lore isn’t just innocently passed down. It’s carefully scripted, regularly rehearsed and slyly refurbished when needed. Ever notice how the stories with the slipperiest facts tend to get revived most often as if in fear that their protective...

  9. How about another song?

    This year's Tony Awards had no host, no comedian; I forgot to check if there was even red carpet coverage beforehand.
    Times Staff Writer
    This year's Tony Awards had no host, no comedian; I forgot to check if there was even red carpet coverage beforehand. Was there? Was Ryan Seacrest out there, terrorizing some Royal Shakespearean with his E! voodoo mumbo jumbo? I'm not even sure why...
