Something cool to do in LA (running for 5 more weeks!)
LA Weekly calls FILM it's Pick of the Week!!

Watch the talkback with James Karen (longtime friend of Buster Keaton who was in the movie 'Film') here!

Full LA Weekly Review:

Failing Better
The Absurdists' convention


Local playwright Patrick McGowan's new play, Film, has no right to be as good as it is. The central character is the late theater director Alan Schneider (Bill Robens) -- known for staging some of the best plays by Absurdist authors, including Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? on Broadway, and introducing almost all of Samuel Beckett's plays to the American stage. Film has no right to be so good because Schneider, in this play, is an insufferable, flailing bully. The play is Schneider's nightmare -- an Absurdist nightmare, naturally -- a comedy and inexplicably scintillating entertainment about artistic failure. This biographical story, set in 1965 New York, features Schneider trying to make a film from a screenplay by Samuel Beckett (Phil Ward), who has come to New York to work with Schneider. Joining them to star in the slogging, portentous film, also named Film (now regarded by some historians as a "masterpiece") is Beckett's favorite comedian, Buster Keaton (Carl J. Johnson), long past his prime, spiritually at ease with his station in life, and willing to play along with the clueless intellectuals and a film crew whose patience gets sorely tested. Ward's Beckett is a delightfully rueful, awkward and solitary figure, aching in vain (of course) for the affections of the star-struck yet savvy prop mistress (the lovely Deana Barone). Johnson's Keaton (Mandi Moss handily plays the comedian in his younger days) has a pleasingly bemused perspective on Schneider's temper tantrums. Framing the story are slivers of Waiting for Godot in both French and English, and, in another nod to Beckett, a vaudeville in front of a curtain, featuring a kind of Mutt and Jeff routine, here played out by Schneider and the source of his envy, director Mike Nichols (who grabbed the job directing the movie of Virginia Woolf), portrayed here as a figure of rare competence by Trevor H. Olsen. Despite his production being slightly too long, director Trevor Biship knows exactly what he's doing, astutely staging the action (with supplementary archived film clips of Keaton in his prime) on Sarah Palmrose's emblematic set of a stage within a stage within a stage, each with its own curtain, and together depicting the multiple, clashing realities inside Schneider's tormented brain. Theatre of NOTE, 1517 Cahuenga Blvd., Hollywood; Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 7 p.m.; through March 21. (323) 856-8611.

Legendary Puppeteer Bob Baker needs your donations to save his theater from foreclosure.

WHAT: Emergency Campaign to generate funds to save The Bob Baker Marionette Theater from Foreclosure

DEADLINE: $29,000 needed by December 3 or Bob Baker’s theater and home will be sold

http://la.metblogs.com/2008/11/14/save-the-puppets/

Even the puppets are getting hit by the terrible economy: The Bob Baker Marionette Theater at 1341 W 1st Street is currently facing foreclosure, according to Richard Shuler, one of the theater's managers. "We're taking donations," Shuler tells us, adding that he's been told the theater has 90 days to come up with the money. "We are working our heads off to try and get the money." Additionally, theater owners have listed the building on Loopnet for $1.5 million, hoping that a new owner might purchase the building and the Bob Baker Marionette Theater could continue to rent the space. It wasn't immediately clear how much money the theater---described as the longest running children's theater in Los Angeles--needs to avoid foreclosure.

Charles Phoenix is the unofficial retro LA kitsch historian. If you've never heard of him or his books, shame on you! and look here.

I was lucky enough this year to get tickets to his Christmas slideshow at Redcat.

Fright Night LA – The Last Show (12 Oct 07)
“The first shall be last and the last shall be first.”
Such is case with the last Fright Night LA as the CIA. The very first band to perform was also the last one to entertain the appreciative audience. Frankenstein put on an amazing – high energy and high impact show. So many people were in the crowd that we had to go with standing room only arrangements.

Fright Night LA (Frankenstein show photos)
Due to several causes, including several conversations last night, children who would not leave me alone and Windows deciding it just had to update, I didn't get the show photos done last night. I'll post them tomorrow afternoon (Pacific time).

Fright Night LA – the Final Incarnation (12 Oct 07)
Sadly this October was the last edition of Fright Night LA in its current version. Our illustrious host Noah K, decided to take a break from this event while preparing for Bat’s Day #10. Normally I would post the images to Fright Night the week before the next month’s edition. Since there wasn’t to be another one to follow (until next year), I didn’t make a reminder in my calendar to post these in November. I’ll make up for that lapse now.
