The Double Double Feature 

Keith Johnson and I attended closing night for the adaptations of Jesus Christ Superstar Wars and The King and I Know What You Did Last Summer by Danny Casillas and Steve Silverman (who also directed). Very nice work--though the first act was way on the long side--from some 15 Minutes of FEM players and new discoveries Joseph Corri, Phinneas Kiyomura, Richard Debner, Judi Evans, Ethan Wilde, and Geoff Meed.

One of the coolest things was--and you know this saves buttloads on printing programs--all cast bios and photos (and ads) were projected onto a small screen on the stage using slides before the show began. What a neat idea!

Great costumes, wonderful space (Egyptian Arena Theatre, 1625 N. Las Palmas Ave., Hollywood), and with a little tighter editing in act one's script, I'd bet I'd have been 100% thrilled. So very clever.
