Love Negotiated Act 2, Part 2

San Diego,Ca- Intermission whispers and comments were good, really good.

"I love it." and "Brilliant" were some of the comments I heard from the crowd. I spoke with Kevin before the show and I asked, "How are you?" Kevin responded, "Fine ok you know Going Insane."

The reality is that the house is full,the laughs are constant and the press is in attendance....(To be continued)

Chronos Theatre's Grand Guignol Project previews at Jon Block's Sight and Sound

San Diego, CA- An Evening at the Grand Guignol is Chronos Theatre Group's first full production being performed on October 8th and 9th, 2008. A few cast members performed a 7 minute scene from the show at Jon Block's Walk the Walk Sight and Sound Event at the World Beat Center in Balboa Park.

The Director Marie Miller's talented cast was able to pull a solid performance. Even though the venue itself was unforgiving with no sound support for a theatrical play the actors drew the crowd in and more importantly attention.

I have been lucky enough to see the development of this show  and in doing so have learned a bit about the development and the history of Grand Guignol. This naturalist style of theatre was ahead of its time a bit of macabre, comedy and sexual farce deserves a look to see that our rather odd sense of humor has been around for quite a while.

If you enjoy Law and Order, Dexter, and even a bit of Monty Python you'll find this jaunt to the Grand Guignol fascinating.

The 2nd Coming is all about the 2nd Act: Robert Dubac’s One-Man Show is entertaining and thought provoking.

San Diego,CA- Miracle Theatre Productions is back with Robert Dubac’s One Man Show being performed at the San Diego Rep’s Lyceum Theatre. I was invited by one of the associate producers David Carson and Marie Miller who is doing some of the ground promotion work.

2nd Coming Covers everything from his own warped vision of Men are from Mars women are from Venus relationship stand up type material to some more fun liberal and social political rants.

He immediately engages us in the first act by embracing a typical stand up comedic cadence and look. Guy on a bar stool in a suit talking to the crowd. Which slowly transitions into a one-man show by the introduction of characters.

The 2nd Coming is all about the 2nd Act, Robert Dubac shines brightly in the throws of his fresh material. It seemed like a different show and the transition was more than obvious. When he’s on Robert takes us along for the ride with him rather than just performing. I hope that Robert can blend the first and second act a bit more in these upcoming weeks because then the show is highly thought provoking and entertaining.

I had to ask myself what is the difference between a one-man show and Stand Up Comedy. I believe the difference is DRAMA. A One Man Show effectively goes beyond stand up or the street and can take you to a different place.

The performer has the ability to take the audience through more layers of emotions. When you do stand up comedy, essentially your job is to make people laugh and then laugh again. You can get angry and be funny, you make fun of yourself and others and we release that through laughter, but the bottom line is we watch to laugh. In a one-man show the performer is given the grace of time and move us to other places. It is when Robert Dubac takes advantage of this time is when he shines.

I hope you get a chance to catch the show and comment.
