Nice venue. First play lasts about 1 hour and 5 minutes. Good performances but I lost interest about 15 mins in due to the repetitive nature of the dialogue/structure of the play. Second play ('Jessica's monologue,' from Schnauber's "Highway One") lasts about another 15-20. Good performance as well but by the time the evening was over I was ready for bed. There is no intermission.Written on Jan 29 2011

I've never done a 2 or 1 star rating, but unfortunately, this was a snoozer. 3 people were literally sleeping in the audience! I admire and respect the work that goes into a production, but something should be done to the script or staging to shake this up. Good luck!Written on Feb 11 2011

Despite my love of theater I must give a thumbs down on both the main show and the monologue that followed. I noticed that review by Lorraine did not include a comment about the productions.....Written on Jan 31 2011

Dull, uninteresting, no real story, never came together and the ending was "huh"?Written on Feb 07 2011
The 2nd act was a monologue where you got to listen to her self indulgent story while she puts her make up on. Paint drying has the same quality.
The best part was her gold dress.

Translated from the German by John Howard and Anne Adams, in The Beverly Hills Psychiatrist therapist and patient engage in weekly sessions of mind-games, confessions and, ultimately, role reversals.
Rounding out the evening as a companion piece, is "Jessica's Monologue," an extended excerpt from Schnauber's latest play Highway One.
Highway One, a rhapsodic meditation on art, life and opera translated by Anne Adams, features Lene Pedersen as a young diva with "an Aida complex," about to make her L.A. Opera debut.
