Pir8Jenny, I'm kind of ashamed to say the only theatre I seem to ever see in LA is at Center Theatre Group and The Geffen. Any particular websites or blogs you recommend for keeping abreast of the latest LA theatre news besides the LA Times and LA Weekly? Of the smaller companies, do you have any particular favorites ones at which you more consistently see strong productions than at others? Cheers!

Well, now that we've got Terry writing for Regional, hopefully the two of us will give you more LA coverage right here. That said, I'm happy to plug a friend's site, ArtsinLA.com - which has quite a bit of good theatre coverage. As for me, personally, I try not to play favorites, but it inevitably happens. I love Furious and Boston Court (both geographically convenient for me, in Pasadena) for more edgy work, and A Noise Within (completing the Pasadena trifecta) for classics. Somewhat further out distance-wise, I've found both The Fountain and Rogue Machine to be on a roll for at least a few years. When I retire from my day job and can therefore be a full-time reviewer (I can dream, right?) I'd never miss a show at any of those five theatres. (... or Antaeus. Or the Chance. Or the Road. Or...)
