Have you ever wondered what would happen if a bunch of deeply flawed people spend their Monday morning dealing with a series of bad romantic decisions, piled on top of more bad romantic decisions all while desperately trying to keep their secrets straight? Well, Riverside Community Player is serving up the answer in their latest production, The Cottage, a comedy farce directed by Neffer Gallagos.

A few weeks ago, I sat down with Maxwell Myers and Eduardo Foss at Back to the Grind to talk about the Fake Actors Guild, their ongoing series of live table reads based on shows like Bob’s Burgers and Futurama.

If you have seen one of their flyers and thought, “Why would I go watch people read a script,” you are not alone.

That is usually the first reaction.

When audiences hear the phrase “miscast show,” they often imagine a simple musical r***e. Performers step up to a microphone, sing a song traditionally associated with a character they would never be cast as, and then make way for the next performer. While that format can be entertaining, it rarely offers much in the way of storytelling.

Act Out Enrichment’s The Miscast Show, which opens June 12 at The Box Theatre in Riverside, takes a far more ambitious approach.

Riverside City College’s production of As You Like It does more than stage one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies. Under the direction of Jason Buuck, the production transforms Landis Performing Arts Center into an intimate Forest of Arden where audiences become participants in the story itself.

underscores presents the sold-out GALLERIA at The Observatory in Santa Ana on May 29th

Featuring songs from “U” along with custom visuals, live camera feeds, and a guest appearance from umru, the show felt like a complete artistic expression from start to finish

Some pairings just make sense.

Peanut butter and jelly. Dice and dragons. IPA and barbecue.

We stopped by Carbon Nation Brewing and made a very good decision: a fresh, juicy IPA paired with Big G’s BBQ. One bite of that Mac Daddy sandwich and suddenly any plans you had for eating light today are gone.

Carlos from Big G’s is serving up smoky, messy, glorious barbecue, and Carbon Nation is pouring the perfect beers to go with it. Grab some friends, claim a table, order something that requires extra napkins, and make an evening of it.

It’s Friday! Throw caution to the wind and come down, have a couple beers and put Carlos’ delicious meat in your mouth.

Political satire rarely worries about subtlety, and Damian Alejandro Arteaga’s Super Duper Happy Immigrant Funtime Land has no interest in being subtle. Presented as part of Full Circle Players’ Emerging Voices Festival and directed by Steve Llamas, the play embraces absurdity, dark humor, and biting social commentary to examine immigration, assimilation, and the ways marginalized communities are often reduced to stereotypes for commodification and public consumption.
