Friends raved about the little theater productions they’ve been attending in Los Angeles. So much so my husband and I went on line and checked out the offerings. Both fans of film noir and parody we agreed on a play called Kill Me, Deadly.
The film noir spoof was amazingly well staged, wildly entertaining and left us hungering for more. I was wowed by actress Kirsten Vangsness’s (fresh from my favorite CBS Criminal Minds, where she plays a wacky but brilliant FBI researcher) portrayal of Mona, a wily, winsome murderess. But the entire cast held their own in this clever spoof.
Theatre of Note, 1517 N Cahuenga Blvd., Hollywood, 323-856-8611, www.theatreofnote.com.
We’re planning to attend more plays at the Theatre of Note as well as some of the other small LA playhouses like: “The Lounge Theater,the loungetheatre.com, and Cavern Club Theatre in Los Feliz (www.cavernclubtheatre.com) and others.
