Jean Lowerison’s “Best of Theater” list in 2014
by Jean Lowerison, San Diego Gay & Lesbian News Theater Critic
Several plays were notable up north: David Suchet playing Vatican politics in “The Last Confession” at the Ahmanson; Angela Lin and Sharon Leal as two tentative lesbians in “Stop Kiss” at Pasadena Playhouse (directed by Mo’oelo’s founder Seema Sueko); South Coast Repertory’s riveting “Venus In Fur.”
In Anaheim, Chance Theater offered “Lysistrata Jones,” a hoot of a musical about basketball (yes, you read it right), and in West Hollywood, Zephyr Theatre’s “Doctor Anonymous” detailed the sad history of gay conversion therapy.
Phew! These are a few of my favorites of 2014. If you’re still reading, thanks. Be proud of your city’s fine theatrical community – and resolve to support it next year.
