Rubicon Theatre: Plays and Classes

bus stop.gifI recently attended the Rubicon Theatre Company's latest production, Bus Stop, starring Angela Christian, Jason Chanos and Ojai's own John Bennett Perry, the cowboy troubadour of the Ojai Valley Boys (and Matthew's dad).

From the Web site:
"Bus Stop is the 1950s romantic comedy about a group of travelers tossed together during a Kansas snowstorm. The film, by Academy Award and Pulitzer Prize-winner William Inge, starred Marilyn Monroe and Don Murray. While exuberant and comical on the surface, at its core this play is a tenderhearted tale of love, loneliness and longing, revealing our deep hunger for companionship and understanding. Rubicon’s production stars Broadway and West End actress Angela Christian and regional theatre sensation Jason Chanos, with screen veteran and Ojai resident John Bennett Perry as Virgil. Let the warmth of this great American classic melt your winter blues!”

It's a wonderfully acted play and the production values are quite impressive. A very strong ensemble cast provides a lot of punch (literally, at one point), and two and a half hours of solid entertainment. I highly recommend you take a trip into Ventura to see it before the final performance on March 16.

For tickets, call the box office at 805.667.2900 or reserve online.

While acquainting myself with the Rubicon, I discovered they do a lot of community outreach. What really caught my eye was the upcoming Intermediate Playwrighting class, taught by Scott Patrick Wagner (you have probably read his column in the VC Reporter). As you know, I've been dabbling in this medium, so I'm signing up. It seems like there is an interest amongst the readers here in the craft of writing, so I thought I would share with all of you in case anyone else might be interested in joining the class.

Lisa,
thanks for that info!! I had no idea about their classes and may sign up for one myself. I've adored the few performances I've seen there.
