Sweet Charity! Spook Night star is scary good
They say Los Angeles ain't a theatre town, but theatres in LA are the places where you get to see familiar actors flex their chops and up and comers make enough of an impression to get noticed and become the next star on a show like Lost or Heroes. Or Cavemen. The latest attention-getter is the provocative Spook Night, a show that explores rage, revenge and racism backstage at an LA comedy club (that's where you go to find future sitcom stars) on black comedy night-- and contemporary black comedy through the eyes of its tragic progenitor, vaudevillian Bert Williams (the first black superstar, widely forgotten because he performed in blackface, and perfected the shiftless stereotype).
Our pal Muriel saw Spook Night and sent us this review:Spook Night a hilarious yet truly serious play, written and directed by TV writer T. Faye Griffen (whose credits include In Living Color, Steve Harvey's Big Times, Roseanne and more). The play will have you splitting your seams with laughter, while using up your kleenex as you wipe away the tears. Whatever emotional buttons get pushed, it's a must see! Never once does Ms. Griffen take the easy or predictable way out.
Thanks, Muriel! Spook Night runs Thursdays through Sundays until September 30th at the Lillian Theatre, l076 N. Lillian Way, on Hollywood's Theatre Row. (Hollywood has a Theatre Row?) Click here for ticket information.
