Fatal Attraction
Romeo and Juliet plays at NCRT Thursdays through Saturdays until Feb. 20, with Sunday matinees on Feb. 7 and Feb. 14 — Valentine’s Day.
Quick notes: For about a year Jeff DeMark has been experimenting with adding more music to his story-telling evenings. Last Saturday at the Arcata Playhouse, the balance was about half-and-half music-to-talk, with musicians Paul DeMark (brother), Jesse DeMark (son), Damon Brooks, Ross Rowley, Jackie Dandeneau and Jim Silva. It all might be headed toward the North Coast Home Companion, but when the stories and the songs illuminate each other (from radio hits to songs his mother loved), we’re reminded how music adheres to memory, carrying the feeling into the present.
Redwood Curtain officially announced that productions begin in April in its new home on First Street in Old Town, Eureka.
Coming Up:
Quake: A Closet Love Story, a musical by Tyler Olson, has its world premiere at the Arcata Playhouse this weekend (Feb. 5-7). Check listings for times, or the Playhouse at 822-1575.
HSU’s The Marriage of Bette and Boo presents two benefit productions in the Van Duzer Theatre on Tuesday (Feb. 9) and Thursday (Feb. 11) at 7:30 p.m., to help send this production to the regional Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in Reno.
