Tune in today at 5:30pm. We are Interviewing Amanda Novoa one of the directors and producers on The Service Workers Project: Contra la Corriente/Against the Current. A play about the service worker strike at UCI in 2010. It plays at University of California Irvine May 1st – 3rd.Â
Big Shot A.K.A This Is Not The God Father is many things, so many things it’s not a show you can put in a box. The show is live, innovative, and unapologetically unique. Though the production is scripted and planned, everything seems spontaneous and strangely bizarre. These are talented people, and I could probably watch them recite the constitution and get excited. The elements for a great show are there: the talent, the message, and even a little innovation. But the show is fragmented and maybe too esoteric to connect effectively with most audiences, even if they have seen The Godfather.Â
The show starts a bit slow.  There is a lot of exposition, and the delivery of it is a bit clunky. But once the setting and characters are set up, and the plot moves away from the slice-of-life storytelling and focuses on the Robinson trial, you can’t resist getting sucked into the drama even if you already know the outcome.Continue Reading
