Planning a Wedding One Diasaster at a Time! – Judth Jones
Hello and welcome to Thespian Thoughts. I am your host Judith Jones, here to share with you, a guide to all the latest and greatest small theatre, going on in Los Angeles, California.

This week we are talking about ‘Planning a wedding….one disaster at a time’, as I.O West in Hollywood presents the hilarious comedy “Hot Pants, Cold Feet”. This 2 man show is written and performed by Will Matthews and Cassandra Smith, who have devised a comical satire on modern wedding madness.

Matthews and Smith

They show their wonderful acting and comedic skills as they take on different characters, highlighting everything from ‘the awkward proposal’ to the cheesy wedding band audition, giving a fun insight into the way the bride and groom often have completely different perspectives when it comes to marriage. This young duo have energy, enthusiasm and fantastic comedic timing which definitely makes this one a Thespian Thoughts winner!

Now it’s time for Fabulous Fashion and this week it has to go to the fantastic little number Cassandra Smith wear when practicing her rendition of the ‘First Wedding dance’…..poledancing style!
And our Fantastic phrase of the week goes a little something like this,
“If you can’t say anything nice, say something fake”
“If you can’t say anything nice, say something fake”

Hot Pants, Cold Feet runs every Tuesday at I.O West, now through April 20th.
And remember,

Thespian Thoughts: Wit

WIT is frank, honest and a dazzling life affirming play with wonderful, smart humour.

Thespian Thoughts was blown away at the Terrace Theatre in Hollywood, at what has to be the most incredible acting we’ve seen so far in LA. The Actors Co-op is staging the Pulitzer Prize winning drama, WIT, by Margaret Edison. An outstanding play, the story centres around Vivian Bearing, a professor of 17th Century poetry specializing in the Sonnets of John Donne. After being diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, we see the bold journey she embarks on over the course of 12 months, confronting her life past and present. A play about cancer? I hear you all say. How drab? Absolutely not. WIT is frank, honest and a dazzling life affirming play with wonderful, smart humour. It was actually quite ironic how much the audience laughed during the course of 90 minutes, while looking at the set of a patient room in a Cancer hospital. For in essence, this is not a play about cancer, it is a story about a person finding grace for the first time.

A standing ovation was definitely in order for the actress, Nan McNamara’s outstanding portrayal of Vivian. She kept us all engaged, tackling the demanding language with ease and intense emotion. She carried the play with superb strength and brought me to tears by the end of the play.

And now it’s time for Fabulous Fashion. Of course, there is only so far fashion can go in the confines of a hospital room, however, this week Judith Jones really takes her hat off for Mcnamara’s devotion to her craft, as she actually has shaved her head to demonstrate with truth, Vivian’s cancer diagnosis. Not many people would do that in Hollywood, that’s for sure…! Good on you.

And Judith Jones’ phantastic phrase of the play
“Brevity is the soul of wit”

Judith cannot express enough, if there is any play to go and see this season, it has to be WIT!
Running now until March 28th at the Terrace Theatre in Hollywood.
