MEASURE STILL FOR MEASURE @ Boston Court Pasadena - 9 out of 10! Exceptional Show! LA Theatre Bites Recommended! SEP 7 - OCT 15,2023 www.latheatrebites.com

Boston Court and Playwrights' Arena Present: Unrivaled @ Boston Court Pasadena - 7.5 out of 10 - Above Average! March 16 - Apr 23, 2023. www.latheatrebites.com

Unrivaled is a co-production between Boston Court and Playwrights' Arena'. Interview with Unrivaled Director Margaret Shigeko Starbuck @ Boston Court Pasadena. The play runs from March 16 - April 23, 2023. www.latheatrebites.com Synopsis: 11th-century Ladies-in-Waiting Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shonagon are, to this day, two of Japan's most beloved writers. They also kind of hated each other.  This play is about friendship, heartbreak, and what it means to be a female artist. Perhaps most of all, it's about how no matter how much things change, the more they stay the same… even after a thousand years.

What's the difference between a dramatic story and a play? That's the question that nervously filled my mind with the first words of “How the light gets in” at Boston Court.

HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN @ Boston Court 8 out of 10 - A GOOD SHOW! www.latheatrebites.com SEP 19-OCT 27,2019 A travel writer who never travels. A Japanese architect who can't figure out how to build a simple tea house. A gifted tattoo artist who resists the power of his talents. And a homeless girl who lives under a weeping willow tree in the Japanese Garden. Four lonely people, their stories written on paper, earth, and skin, find each other when one of them falls apart. Together they realize the heart is as strong as it is fragile, and that the safety of home might be found in the most fearsome explorations.

What’s the difference between a dramatic story and a play? That’s the question that nervously filled my mind with the first words of “How the light gets in” at Boston Court.

8.2 out of 10 - GOOD SHOW!!! www.latheatrebites.com February 15 - March 25, 2018 A new production strips away decades of Southern gothic gauze to reveal striking themes of class, race, and gender—reinvigorating the classic which shocked audiences in its debut 70 years ago. By placing the iconic 1940s-era Blanche within an entirely contemporary and multicultural environment, this 21st century production highlights the timeless relevance of this play for our divided America.
