Realizing Lorca
So to honor this experimental spirit, here’s how Garcia Lorca concluded a speech after one of his plays: “I know that those people who say, ‘Now, now, now’ with their eyes fixed on the small jaws of the box office are not right, but those who say ‘Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow,’ and feel the approach of the new life which is hovering over the world.”
Inverted Alba continues Fridays through Sundays at 8 in the Carlo until Oct. 25.

Ferndale Rep opened Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley last weekend, directed by Ginger Gene. It can be seen Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 for two more weekends, also ending Oct. 25.
There have been several weekends of multiple openings lately, with long stretches of no openings at all. How theatres schedule productions is their business, but when several shows open on the same weekend, I can’t review all of them in the next issue. I try to anticipate by previewing in this limited space, but I want theatres and readers to know that not all reviews are going to appear as early in a play’s run as all of us would like.
Assuming I’m not on a sequestered jury, I hope to write about Crimes of the Heart next issue. In two weeks, Oct. 22, HSU opens its semi-annual musical, City of Angels in the Van Duzer Theatre for a two-weekend run.
