THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN
Saturday, January 26th, 2019
A stageful of stereotype-defying Irish islanders, an abundance of well-earned laughs and maybe even a tear or two thrown in for good measure are just a few of the reasons Martin McDonagh’s The Cripple Of Inishmaan at Antaeus Theatre Company adds up to one supremely satisfying (and pardon my Irish) fecking entertaining evening of L.A. theater.

THE LITTLE FOXES
Friday, October 26th, 2018
Lillian Hellman might have written The Little Foxes in post-Depression 1939, but her tale of the Alabama Hubbard clan’s quest for even more filthy lucre hasn’t aged a day, just one reason her three-act Southern-fried melodrama makes for an especially scrumptious Antaeus Theatre Company three-course meal.

THREE DAYS IN THE COUNTRY
Sunday, July 15th, 2018
Unrequited love has rarely been as delightful to witness as it is in Three Days In The Country, playwright Patrick Marber’s tasty new “version of” Ivan Turgenev’s considerably older (by about a hundred seventy years), longer (by an hour and a half), and stodgier (or so I’m told) A Month In The Country, and a glorious return to partner-cast form for L.A.’s crème-de-la-crème Antaeus Theatre Company.

NATIVE SON
Saturday, April 21st, 2018Lead performances are powerhouse and production design one of the year’s most electrifying, but Richard Wright’s 20th-century classic Native Son is ill-served at Antaeus Theatre Company by Nambi E.

THE HOTHOUSE
Saturday, January 27th, 2018
The nuts are running the nuthouse in the darkly comedic, rarely performed Harold Pinter gem that is the latest from Antaeus Theatre Company, written when Pinter was a mere twenty-seven but shelved till he turned fifty, and perhaps more than any other partner-cast Antaeus gem before it, one that truly merits a second visit.

LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES
Saturday, October 28th, 2017
Decadence and deception prove downright delicious in The Antaeus Theatre Company’s pitch-perfectly partner-cast Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Christopher Hampton’s 1985 stage adaptation of the 18th-century French literary classic directed with supreme flair by Robin Larsen.

AS YOU LIKE IT
Sunday, July 30th, 2017
The Antaeus Company transports lovers, philosophers, fools, royals, and audiences into the woods as Antaeus likes it, that is to say with two equally terrific casts bringing William Shakespeare’s As You Like It to magical, mystical, mesmerizing life.

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
Saturday, March 25th, 2017
Cameron Watson directs two equally sensational ensembles in Antaeus Theatre Company’s pitch-perfect intimate revival of Tennessee Williams’ Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, not only one of the finest productions now playing around town but (sound the trumpets!) the very first to grace the brand-spanking-new Kiki & David Gindler Performing Arts Center in Beautiful Downtown Glendale.
