2018 OPENS NEW THEATRE VISTAS IN SOCAL
Theatre in Southern California mesmerized audiences throughout the year. For this critic, it also offered a time of exploration of other theatres beyond San Diego County, Orange County and the Inland Empire as well.
Consistently fine work presented by Cygnet Theatre from San Diego County.
In Los Angeles County, extraordinary work from both the artists at Celebration Theatre and A Noise Within Theatre, too.
Congratulations to all.
