WALKING ON MOONBEAMS CAN BE A BREEZE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Certain shows lend themselves to intimacy; ONCE<\/strong><\/em> is one of them.\u00a0 3D Theatricals<\/strong>\u2019 current production in Cerritos<\/strong> is the second time I have celebrated its joys after first encountering another thrilling performance at Lamb\u2019s Players<\/strong> in Coronado<\/strong>. Both theatres led Southern California<\/strong> audience members to Ireland<\/strong> on the wings of a complicated, yet vital love story and they accomplished the feat up close and personal. The\"\"<\/a> magnificent confines of this particular version transforms the Cerritos Center for the<\/strong> Performing Arts<\/strong> into a new configuration, allowing for an in-the-round presentation (regulars are sure to thank their lucky stars for this gift).<\/span><\/p>\n

Sipping on one\u2019s Guinness<\/em> (even if only in spirit) , first all are treated to a pre-show display of the company\u2019s considerable musical talents as they embody triple threat talent (even quadruple status for that matter) on a succession of Irish tunes leading the way to Dublin<\/strong>, sharing the estimable Irish folk legacy.\u00a0 You see…these actors, singers, dancers and musicians might be found contributing to the Glen Hansard<\/strong> & Marketa Irglova<\/strong> score on guitar, mandolin, violin, cello, melodica, accordion, ukulele or bass. Certainly there are drums as well, along with percussion elements. Finally, of course, the piano seals the deal. Mighty impressive!\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine the casting challenges facing T.J. Dawson<\/strong>\u2019s assembled professionals. In short, how do the Director<\/em> Kari Hayter<\/strong>, the Music Director<\/em> David <\/strong><\/span>Lamoureux<\/strong>\u00a0with a boost from Andy Taylor<\/strong> and the Choreographer<\/em> Linda Love Simmons<\/strong>, all assisted by Casting Director Amber Snead<\/strong>, manage to find a cast that can credibly interpret characters, sing the songs effectively, contribute to the movement and dance elements on occasion while at the same time play the required musical instruments?\u00a0 All of these stage veterans need to reflect a professional sheen as well. Obviously, the members of the creative team land in touchdown territory (it is football season, after all).<\/p>\n

Broadway standout Scott Waara<\/strong> (\u201cDa\u201d) sets the stage for the journey charted in the book penned by Edna Walsh with his plaintive rendition of an Irish folk song commenting on the vagaries of love. Then the audience encounters a disenchanted 30-something Tom Frank<\/strong> (\u201cGuy\u201d), suffering the wounds from a romance gone awry, armed with his guitar and\"\"<\/a> passionately expressing that hurt in the moment. Soon all get a peek at his desperate circumstances as a vacuum cleaner repairman, ready to abandon his songwriting prowess while sinking into an abyss of despair.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enter Aurora Florence<\/strong> (\u201cGirl\u201d) a Czech dynamo who exudes quirkiness while immediately intruding on the apparent darkness.\u00a0 She\u2019s got a vacuum that \u201cdoes not suck\u201d and insists on a rather unorthodox deal: she\u2019ll play piano for him and he will fix her \u201cHoover\u201d. She snatches one of his original compositions from his hand, sensitively plays it on piano as both of them join in the singing of \u201cFalling Slowly\u201d, a roadmap for the journey both of them will follow throughout the show.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kari Hayter<\/strong>, a force on the West Coast<\/strong> directing scene, once again demonstrates her \"\"<\/a>ability to elicit towering performances from her lead players (N.B. both Tom Frank<\/strong> and Aurora Florence<\/strong> give often astonishing performances) while at the same time creating an inventive landscape for this extraordinary ensemble of thirteen to shine. All the while the highly accomplished music directors dazzle with their own musicianship, concurrently performing themselves among the players (i.e. the aforementioned David Coe Lamoureux<\/strong> (\u201cSvec\u201d) and Andy Taylor<\/strong> (\u201cBank Manager\u201d)).\u00a0 The effect of all of these distinctive musicians bringing the score to life cannot be underestimated for its impact on the Irish experience in store for all of us.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other players integral to the achievement include the following: Quinn Copeland<\/strong> (\u201cIvanka\u201d), Andrew Huber<\/strong> (\u201cAndrej\u201d), Cynthia Marty<\/strong> (\u201cBaruska\u201d), Chuck McClane<\/strong> \"\"<\/a>(\u201cBilly\u201d) and Leota Rhodes<\/strong> (\u201cEx-Girlfriend\u201d).\u00a0 Also, Erich Schroeder<\/strong> (\u201cEmcee\u201d), Cameron Tagge (\u201cEamon\u201d) and Katherine Washington<\/strong> (\u201cReza\u201d). Even though all of the actors mentioned previously sometimes capture the spotlight with a specific character, it is their accomplishment in toto which results in the indelible experience for the audience in support of the central guy\/girl story at the core of ONCE<\/strong><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

On leaving Cerritos<\/strong>, this critic feels richer for this experience. All of us at times are conflicted\u00a0 with uncertainty about our path forward. Many struggle with the twists and turns as we live and learn.\u00a0 Looking out over the bluffs in Dublin<\/strong>, these two explore the possibilities of their love under the watchful gaze of the moon.\u00a0 Regardless of the exigencies \"\"<\/a>of their connection, they inspire us to seize the moment and let the bounty of love prosper and endure.<\/span><\/p>\n

ONCE<\/strong><\/em> beckons and promises to be grand.\u00a0 Partake.<\/span><\/p>\n
