Simon and Janine are sent on an unexpected journey to the war-torn Middle East after their mother, who for years had remained silent, leaves them post-mortem letters with clues to the family's mysterious past. Their quest to unravel their origins leads them in search of a father and brother whose existence was previously unknown to them. Adapted into the Oscar-nominated film, Incendies, and translated into a dozen languages in over 100 productions worldwide, Scorched makes its West Coast debut at American Conservatory Theatre. The A.C.T. production features David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) as bumbling notary public Alphonse Lebel, who acts as a guide to the two twins in their search. Learn More

Pookah
This is a musical review of songs "cut from" classic musicals. Not Forbidden Broadway, but the numbers stand on their own. Fiddler send up worth the price of admission alone. Skewers South Pacific. And the devival (not a misspelling) of Hair is not to be missed. Thankfully, they hadn't acquired outtakes from Spring Awakening.Written on Aug 17 2009
They deserve an audience! See it!

More Information About Bombs Away!
Description
Bombs Away! is the new musical from Sally Deering and Larry Bortniker, creators of Bailiwick’s hit Dr. Sex.
Five years ago Larry Bortniker and Sally Deering’s hilarious new musical, Dr. Sex, about the life of sex researcher Alfred C. Kinsey, became a Jeff Award winning hit for Bailiwick Repertory in the old Bailiwick Arts Center. Now Bailiwick is back and on the road with Bombs Away!, Deering and Bortniker’s crazily comic depiction of Dr Barry Mishkin, America’s foremost Broadway musicologist who has amassed an amazing collection of scenes and numbers cut from Broadway’s classic musicals.
In Bombs Away!, Mishkin and his troupe of actors dare to present his collection against the wishes of the writers of the classic musicals and despite a stop order directive from a judge. Selections scheduled to be performed are "Krakatoa" which was the original island setting for South Pacific, "I Own A Nail Salon" from the rarely seen flash-forward ending of Miss Saigon, "Too Fat To Dance" trimmed from A Chorus Line, "I Shake Me Green Shillelagh" which at one point anchored Finian’s Rainbow, and the catchy "See Ya In Ikea" from Mamma Mia. And, of course, very few people remember the title song "Bombs Away!" was Mother Abbess’ initial response to Maria’s question about how to handle the Nazis in Sound of Music.
Of course all the songs and scenes are really the original creations of Bortniker and Deering, and will leave the audience cheering. Bombs Away! is co-directed by David Zak and Elisa Woodruff, with musical direction by Jimmy Morehead, costumes by Jeff Jones, and musical staging by Christopher Pazdernik. Casting will be completed soon.
