Review/Comment
Hollywood producers Bobby Gould and Charlie Fox engage in a verbal boxing match trying to find a resolution to the eternal debate of art versus money. Should they go for another bad action blockbuster? Or should they put themselves on the line for a film adaptation of a spiritual, apocalyptic novel? Gould's secretary Karen acts as inspiration (she brought the novel to Gould's attention) and catalyst in the debate, only to be ditched just as easily in the play's cynical finale. Location: Black Box Theater

Theater Works is generally known for their musicals, but this edgy production of a classic script not only highlights the power of the words, but features four electrifying performances. The sparks fly as the actors battle each other in every sense of the word. This show is possibly the best drama of the season. Don't miss it! Collapse

Impressive for Theater Works youth program. Excellent performances by the young actors who played the Scarecrow, Tin Man and the witch! I had a great time!

This production exceeded my expectations by a mile. The small theater is perfect for this high speed play. I just wish they would extend it one more weekend because more people need the chance to discover this gem and ring in their Halloween fun with it this year. It's not only better than the movie, it's better than most of the plays I've seen on the west side. Kudos to the excellent young actors, the directors and whoever did the makeup and special effects for this show. Collapse

I went to see 'A Little Mischief' yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it! The actors who played Carla and Coyote were amazing to watch and had such a wide range of emotions to play off each other. Marisol, the kids, and the supporting cast also worked well together. The set was incredible and the music was very toe tapping. This is a shorter show and would be great to bring kids and family to. I highly recommend it! Collapse

The cast of characters are very real, and are played better than the original movie. They apply themselves in the setting that creates the mood. The zombies are very effective and evoke catharsis. Justin, Megan, Connor,Kristian, Brittany, and Noel give such an explosive amount of enegry! If you get a chance to see the play, do so NOW before it's to late! I URGE you to see it! The special effects are amazing! The brilliant direction of Jim Gradillas is very effective, especially during the suspenseful fight scenes throughout the show. Collapse
