Broken Lizard's big break started with a little film called Super Troopers. The five-member group began as a sketch comedy troupe at Colgate University—and who knew a few years later Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske would make a film that, to...

Clowns aren’t just for kiddies or terrifying cinematic fables anymore—no, clowns of the 21st century engage in graphic violence, simulated sexual acts and “other wanton behavior.” Long maligned by society because no matter how nice or cute they tried to be, they made our...

Ask any non-blue-haired theater-goer about Avenue Q and you'll hear one of two things: Either they rave about how awesome it is or they're dying to see it. The foul-mouthed, hormone-raging, Broadway-smashing puppets are back and this time they're taking over Orange County's premiere gay and...

While most rock musicals tend to blow (like that upcoming atrocious film adaptation starring Tom Cruise), this however, is a musical about rock. Totally different. Ambitious singer/songwriter Monica falls for drunk agoraphobic musician Ian in late '70s Glasgow. Together, they take on the world...

If only Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had written more. Sure, there are two massive volumes of Sherlock Holmes' adventures but somehow, that doesn't seem enough. Which is probably the reason Steven Dietz's adaptation of one of the most famous Holmes stories into a full-length stage production is met...

Open-mic events always bring out the aspiring teenage folkies, workaday closet emo crooners and ill-conceived joke bands, but OC's best open mics—Gypsy Den's included—come with a cadre of older, more experienced, more awesome amateurs in addition to the twentysomethings. There's a...

In 1975, a film about a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania hit US theaters and a new breed of camp-loving, kitschy freaks was born. Now the longest running theatrical release ever, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is everyone's favorite midnight shenanigan, performing regularly...

So you play an instrument. But maybe you're not sure if you're talented. Or you think you are and want other people to know it, too. Or you want to show off a song you just wrote to that cute girl who works behind the counter. Whatever the reason, come to Musician's Open Mic Night every...

The self-proclaimed “greatest Elvis impersonator in Fullerton, Brea and Whittier,” Kirk Wall knows how to rock a white, sequined jumpsuit like nobody’s business (notice how no one ever mimics the sexy, surfing Elvis of the ’50s? It’s always the fat, tacky Elvis with the...

Forget the overly saccharine Hollywood adaptation of Prelude to a Kiss (they gave it the Meg Ryan treatment—enough said), the original 1988 play written by Craig Lucas is far deeper than the gimmicky soul-switching it's centered around. On Peter and Rita's wedding day, an old man asks to...

How civilized, to meet with the parents of the boy whose teeth your son knocked out. How uncivilized, however, to barf all over their coffee table. Yasmina Reza's dramatic comedy about the quick deterioration of manners between four adults is catnip for the established acting set—past...
