StageSceneLA’s Best Of 2010-2011 Scenies are based on 279 reviews posted on StageSceneLA between the dates of September 1, 2010 and August 31, 2011. As large as this number may seem, it represents only about 1/3 of the total number of productions I was invited to review this past year, and an even smaller percentage of all productions staged in Los Angeles and surrounding cities.
