THEATER REVIEW: “The Glory Man” has its moments in world premiere at Lambs Players

CORONADO -- Visionaries are often called crazy (or worse) by those who regard change as a threat. Clarence Jordan (Rick D. Meads) was one of those.

Born into a prosperous Baptist household in Georgia in the early 1920s, Clarence earned a bachelor’s degree in architecture and a Ph.D in Greek before deciding that the racial discrimination and inequality he saw around him did not square with his interpretation of the Bible.

Aunt Johnny has a sobering conversation with comic legend Cloris Leachman

I really shouldn’t conduct interviews early in the day on a weekend after having been out all night enjoying adult beverages and singing karaoke at a lesbian “coming out” party in Los Feliz.

I’m just saying.

The only thing I should be doing is sleeping off the hangover I inevitably have because I have friends like Betty White – who don’t have an “off” switch – and think “last call” means it’s time to do shots of Yagermeister.

So I wasn’t exactly at my best on Sunday when I interviewed the comedic legend, Cloris Leachman, for SDGLN. Fortunately for me, neither was she.

THEATER REVIEW: “Burn The Floor” sizzles at Civic Theatre

SAN DIEGO -- I thought “Burn The Floor” an odd name for a show, but it only took a few minutes for this sizzling ballroom dance show (which plays through Sunday at Civic Theatre) to make me a believer.

“Burn The Floor” features 20 champion dancers (seven have competed on “So You Think You Can Dance”), two vocalists and two onstage drummers in some of the hottest and most vigorous routines around. And the performers are backed up by some great technical wizardry, especially in the lighting department.
