Will. Call Home GOING.. GOING.. GONE! Meanwhile, baseball fever still rises at the Hudson Theatre Guild in this entertaining confection. If you've ever wondered what the hell goes on in that press box, you'll soon see and the stage is set up to look exactly as we imagine it (designed by Gary Lee Reed). 9780373295388 0373295383 Conquering Knight, Captive Lady, Anne O'Brien 9783211094211 3211094210 Cash Pooling Im Konzern, Clemens Billek 9788498168884 8498168880. We meet Dennis (David Gabich) as the new Official Scorekeeper. He pops pills to stay calm and to take his mind off his pain- in- the- ass wife. Plus he is in the nerve wracking process of bidding on a new house in Mar Vista. Mason (Dennis Pearson) is the sports writer for the L. A. Times, which is struggling for readership. He is an attractive African- American with a worldly attitude and a sharp sense of humor. Then we have Big Jim Tabler (Troy Metcalf), a four hundred pound teddy bear, acerbic, hot- tempered, basically lonely and a far cry from the poplar . But he can also make us laugh. He writes for a website and scoffs at the old- fashioned print media guys. She plays a woman whose job, as a sort of roving interviewer, leads to her involvement with one of the star sports personalities. She's a savvy professional but vulnerable, not a brittle ball breaker. She charms the audience as well as her colleagues. Andrew Barnicle, hand picked by the author to direct this witty world premiere, he scores a home run with the help of his outstanding team of players. We get to know them intimately during a marathon seventeen innings, between the Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants. ILLCALL FOR THEATER AND RESTAURANT REVIEWS (www.willcall.org).

He is an Emmy- winning TV writer/director/announcer/blogger. His dialogue smacks of authenticity and is uproariously funny. Even if you're not into spectator sports, you'll relish this show.

BUYER & CELLAR by Jonathan Tolins Pure delight, amusing whimsy and a generous helping of charm, make playwright Tolins' and actor Jai Rodriguez collaboration a genuine treat at Garry Marshall's beautiful Falcon Theatre. Barbra Streisand's book, . He becomes the lone custodian of a mini- shopping mall in the basement of Streisand's Malibu home, complete with yoghurt and popcorn machines, which we never see but can almost smell. It houses her collection of memorabilia, antiques and precious tchotchkes. Besides the presence of talented, likeable Rodriguez, the production is visually enhanced by an almost magical set and projections (designed by Adam Flemming), exquisite lighting (Nick Mc. Cord) and sound (Robert Arthur Ramirez), which contribute to the illusion that this could all very well be real. Rodriguez' gift for mimicry is top notch. Whenever the legendary diva visits her subterranean domain to chat or shop, he impersonates her mannerisms, the Brooklynese inflection in her voice, the way she brushes the hair off her face - the only thing he doesn't do is sing, although he hoofs a little. He also briefly imitates her brusque assistant, Sharon, her handsome hubby, James Brolin and his own Jewish boyfriend, Barry. He tells us of his encounters in a sweet, gossipy manner, treating the audience like his dear friends and making us chuckle in appreciation. His face is familiar to viewers of TV's Queer Eye and Tolins has penned many successful works, including Twilight of the Golds, for stage and screen. It could be true and if Streisand ever opens her shops to the public, my credit card is at the ready. Falcon Theatre, 4. Riverside Drive, Burbank 9. Wednesday - Saturday 8 pm, Sunday 4 pm. REVIEW BY INGRID WILMOT THE MODEL APARTMENT by Donald Margulies. The word that best describes this, Donald Margulies' early work, is ... An older couple, Lola (Marilyn Fox) and Max (Michael Montell) have bought a unit but it's not move in- ready yet. They've been given the key to this show place which is perfect cosmetically but sadly lacking in practicality. They seem like a devoted pair who have left the cold New York winters for the promise of Florida sunshine and idyllic lifestyle. Not surprisingly, this isn't about to happen. You'll soon see what that means. Meanwhile, let me tell you that Max and Lola are Holocaust survivors. They have an adult daughter, Debbie (Annika Marks), a singularly unattractive, overweight and mentally unstable girl. She has a new boyfriend, Neil (Giovanni Adams), who is also a few sandwiches short of a picnic. When they these two feel the urge, they blatantly get right to it, privacy being the least of their concerns. One can only utter a silent prayer that they don't procreate! The only reason to see this play is for the beautifully defined and acted performances, under the direction of Marya Mazor. Marks in particular, is brilliant in a difficult and demanding role. In a tour de force, she also plays the lovely, young Deborah, a figure that dominates Max' eerie dreams and memories, while Puccini's aria 'Il bel sognio' (beautiful dream) from the opera La Rondine , is heard in the background. He softly sings Yiddish songs to Deborah, his voice filled with love and longing. Max is not a happy man and Montell plays him with admirable sensibility. Fox, a veteran actress who is also the Artistic Director of the well regarded Pacific Resident Theatre in Venice, is always excellent. Here she's the good hearted, Jewish mother, using a slightly nasal inflection, who's only occasionally annoying but always in character. Adams, the simpleton boyfriend, doesn't have a lot to say but his facial expressions and body language are right on. The expert sound and lighting are by Lindsay Jones and Brian Gale, respectively.

Drama Critics and Ovation etc. If you're a theatre regular, you've undoubtedly applauded many of his works: Sight Unseen, Dinner with Friends, God of Vengeance and more. This play, with the longest title in history, demands three unusually gifted actors and ICT's got'em. The stage is bare at first, when a limping, old man introduces himself as the explorer Louis de Rougemont (Jud Williford), who tells wondrous tales, aided (and how!) by two others, the beautiful Laurine Price and the hilarious Nick Ley. Soon it all comes to life with projections on a set designed by Tesshi Nakagawa, highly imaginative props by the Briles Family, amusing costumes by Kim De. Shazo, exciting sounds by Dave Mickey, lighting design by Donna Ruzika and most importantly, expert direction by Luke Yankee, a man who understands the magic of theatre and wields his wand to astonishing effect. As Louis recites chapter after chapter of his adventures on the storm- tossed sea, on a deserted island, in the Australian Outback among the Aborigines, you see his . These two are incredible and almost overshadow the marvelous performance by Williford. He is a fascinating raconteur, limber as a gymnast and irrepressibly enthusiastic. Act II is a bit of a let down because, as hour hero rises to fame and fortune in 1. Century England, after publishing his best- selling memoirs, the National Geographic Society starts debunking his life story, not unlike puncturing a colorful balloon. We believe him - why can't they? You can bring your smart teen or even your Aunt Tillie, she'll love it (it's squeaky clean)! Seaside Way, Long Beach, 9. Thursday - Saturday 8 pm, Sunday 2 pm. Parking in garage on Seaside Way (well marked). Guess what- he has not lost his rib- tickling touch! It takes place mostly in the Mc. Coy residence in Beverly Hills. I have to say, the furnishings look a little shabby, even if it were in Beverly Hills Adjacent. But, the set is serviceable (by James Cooper), shifting to various locations, courtesy of Cooper's lighting skills and the ever changing projections by Fritz Davis, which are priceless. Who knew politics could be so funny? We first meet Margie Mc. Coy (Elizabeth Ellson), dictating her diary and fretting over her parents' Tim and Ruth's (Dan Gilvezan and Rachel Galper) tumultuous marriage. He's a staunch Republican, she's a liberal Democrat. He's Catholic, she's Jewish. But it's not the different religions that divide them. On the contrary, she's taught him lots of cute, Yiddish expressions, which he pronounces perfectly and uses appropriately. No, it's their politics that seriously alienate them and even wreak havoc with their sex life. Fully aware of their antagonism, Margie therefore hates politics and smartly avoids siding with either of their parties. Much to mom's delight, she brings home her new boyfriend, Lenny Klein (Adam Mondschein), a full fledged Democrat, running for the current Republican Congressional seat, against the incumbent Mark Bliss (Matthew Wrather), Margie's other prospective suitor, thanks to scheming dad. This scenario is rampant with clever dialogue, dozens of zingers (a Mayer specialty) and consistently fine acting. Director Chris De. Carlo who, with his wife, Evelyn Rudie, owns this little treasure box of a theatre, guides his likeable cast through lots of short, socko scenes, with . Ellison keeps us guessing about the romantic denouement in a spirited manner. Gilvezan, the hard- nosed Republican, has a twinkle in his eye and a soft spot for his .
