Sweet Sue

So the play i'm in "Sweet Sue" has just been extended 2 more weeks due to the positive reviews it's been recieving. 6 reviews and they've all been great so far. We've even recieved a "Go" from LA Weekly as a recomended play to see.I'm particularly proud of this because there are other more well known theatres who were reviewed as well that did not recieve a "Go." If you around North Hollywood on the weekends or your looking for some theatre to see, then I think it's worth your while to check us out. You can learn more about by googling The Lonnie Chapman Theatre. I'm including the link to the LA Weekly article below.

GO SWEET SUE A.R. Gurney's stock in trade is as an erudite chronicler of Wasp culture and romantic conundrums. Here, he is not at his witty, engaging best, but director Ernest Figueroa and a stalwart cast make this problematic play worth a viewing. Sweet Sue is a variation on that old standby, the May-December romance. The action unfolds in the spacious Philadelphia home of Sue Weatherall, a middle-of-the-road artist who has a fling with Jake, a college buddy and roommate of her son Ted. Because Jake is rooming at her house for the summer, he agrees to do some nude modeling for Sue, which, to no one's surprise, gradually turns into a romantic fixation. That not much occurs in this highly talky play is not the problem. The two characters are played by four actors, two Sues and two Jakes. The artifice allows for dual perspectives and approaches, but this double representation becomes confusing, especially when all four actors are onstage, and when the author splices time segments, which he often does. What's more, notwithstanding some humorous moments, there really isn't a lot here that forcibly engages. The romance predictably fizzles, and one is left with a sense of "Yeah, and ..." The upside is the fine acting: Figueroa's cast members (Laurie Morgan, Janet Wood, Sean McGee and Brandon Irons) work well together. Wood is especially artful in her portrayal of the older, mature Susan. Lonny Chapman Theatre, 19009 Burbank Blvd., N. Hlywd. Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 2 p.m.; through April 25. (818) 700-4878, <
