I knew this was going to be good from the short preview I saw, and I was recommending folks see the show based on that. Now I've seen the show in its entirety.

Wow.

I expected to be amused; I expected to be educated; I expected to be made to think. I expected to hear anecdotes of teacher experiences, stories of students, tales of the culture shock of a kid from Indianapolis private schools finding himself as a teacher in notoriously tough South Central Los Angeles, and the insights that came t…

How stereotypical is this going to be? If there was a single stereot…
The Tragical Ballad of Black Bonnet

The synopsis of this operetta led me to believe that this was going to be some kind of GLBT propaganda piece. Since that had been my initial perspective on the Festival there was no reason to think otherwise. A transgender person, living as a woman, falls in love with the lovely daughter of the landlord. Yeah, right, I'm ready for the crap.

Surprise! This production was thoroughly delightful in its staging and delivery. The musical background music was way t…
