Kunda… Astratta… Montosse… Kanda… Something stirs within the woods, an ancient evil awakens. Join us, it whispers. The evil draws closer, consuming the living like an infection, and breathing new, rancid life into the dead. These demons writhe and moan, anxious to swallow any soul in their path. Then, they begin to… sing and dance..? […]
I want to start this review by saying that I am not actually a fan of the existentialist manifesto that is Jean-Paul Sartre’s No Exit. I have always felt it to be a weird, disjointed combination of Waiting for Godot and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. It only vaguely works in its attempt to give […]

And indeed, apart from a mysterious […]
As I read the prisoner his last rights, the mood in the tight room is somber, and my voice a little above a whisper. Once I finish speaking, the executioner describes the correct way to decapitate someone. I guess he won’t be doing his job today – it will be me. “You have to do […]
Unauthorized musical versions of popular films are gaining traction in Los Angeles. From Clueless at Rockwell Table & Stage to Psycho at El Cid, more and more are popping up around the city. Just finishing up its run is I Know What You Did Last Summer: The Unauthorized Musical at El Cid. Adapted by Jordan […]
She stands at the far end of the room – passed the broken clocks and mirrors lining the walls, passed the flickering projection of fire upon the wall, passed the lights dancing with an eerie glow upon her calm face.
