Thespian Thoughts – theatre review of Noel Coward’s Private Lives at International City Theatre

For an evening of laughs head out to Long Beach for the International City Theatre’s entertaining production of Noel Coward’s Private Lives.

Hello and welcome to Thespian Thoughts for theatre reviews. I’m Kristina Nikols with Actors Entertainment.

Last weekend I watched ICT’s production of Noel Coward’s famous play Private Lives. The lighting and sound, set design, costuming, acting, and expert direction by Luke Yankee all flowed together–even the opening general announcement was creative and amusing–it immediately set the tone of the show and transported audience members to 1930’s France to witness the mayhem that unfolds when previously married Elyot and Amanda have a chance encounter while on their respective honeymoons.

Michael Donovan and Peter Matyas cast engaging actors who hit their comedic beats, embraced their roles fully, and were believable as couples. Freddy Douglas amuses as pretty boy Eloit, Caroline Kinsolving moves with poise and grace as Amanda, Jennice Butler plays bubbly blond Sibyl with adorable vulnerability, Adam J. Smith does an excellent job as pompous Victor, and Wendy Cutler gets laughs as Louise, the exasperated French maid.

ICT is located in the Long Beach Convention Center, next to the Aquarium and near many restaurants and bars; theater patrons can easily plan additional activities before or after the show.

I enthusiastically recommend seeing this exquisitely executed, humorous play about love and relationships.

I’m Kristina Nikols with Thespian Thoughts. See you at the theatre!

Thespian Thoughts – “Clean House:” “If you do not clean, how do you know if you make progress in life”

“If you do not clean, how do you know if you make progress in life”

The International City Theater presents the stage production of “Clean House.” The play’s writer, Sarah Ruhl, has received a great amount of attention, Clean House, “Won the prestigious Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, awarded annually to the best English-language play written by a women and it was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.” In an interview, Ruhl says, “I like to see people speaking ordinary words in strange places, or people speaking extraordinary words in ordinary places.” Within this stage show, Ruhl composes a very clever and extremely hilarious story about a group of people; their interaction takes place inside a home where these characters, together, deal with love, tragedy and the power of a good joke. The play flows with beautiful choreography and I highly recommend it, especially if you want to laugh, a lot.

Caryn Desai directs “Clean House” and her excellence shows throughout the play. Desai “is an award-winning director with awards and nominations from LA Drama Critics Circle, LA Weekly, Drama Logue, Robby, Ovation, and NAACP for her productions.” After I read the biography on the director, I knew I was in for a treat and was very excited to watch the story unfold. Desai says, “There’s always a fine line between comedy and tragedy and it’s an especially treacherous balancing act in this play.”

I found myself laughing throughout the whole show, even after a tragic event. The characters find the humor and make jokes to lighten up the mood, but not in a disrespectful way. This allows the audience to take very serious subject matters, and switch negative feelings to joyful ones. The actors do a great job of successfully conveying this with such ease.

It’s a pleasure to watch the five actors who grace the stage. Their performance feels so real, it’s as if they put it together, unscripted. This makes for a really unique and a very real experience. The group of actors in this play are; Rob Roy Cesar, Kathy Bell Denton, Eileen Galindo, Nadia Nardini, and Caryn West. They all bring talent and charisma to the stage.

The play “Clean House” should definitely not be missed, especially if you’re feeling a bit sad or confused, there’s nothing better than listening to a good joke and just laughing. This play brings that and definitely left me walking to my car laughing and brightened up my day. Let it brighten up yours!

A perfect joke is somewhere in between an angel and a fart.

Exclusive Interview with International Pop Artist George Hodos

George Hodos recently teamed up with Snoop Dogg for Geroge’s debut U.S. single release (May 4th, 2010); “Just A Man”. The featured single is currently #32 on Billboards Nextmusic charts and climbing.  

Russian music sensation George Hodos chats with Sidebeat Music’s Melissa Suzanne about how he gravitated towards pop music from the classical at an early age. Born in a country dominated primarily by opera music, George was exposed to different musical genres via TV and found himself enthralled by artists like Michael Jackson and Tina Turner.

Referred to as “The Voice” in his native Russia, George Hodos was an operatic singing prodigy before he could walk. By the age of 20, George had established a number of relationships with producers from around the world.

George is under the management of the Alumni Entertainment Group.
