Curtain Up: No “Rest” for the Weary
Samuel D. Hunter is a character man. That’s to say, the prolific and gifted young playwright, is a writer in love with his own characters. This in itself is hardly a crime. Tennessee Williams surely loved his Blanche DuBois; for all Willy Loman’s pig-headed delusions, we can bet Arthur Miller loved the old guy. Like […]

Faced with court-mandated requirements to reduce prison populations, Gov. Jerry Brown and the state legislature enacted AB 109 that mandated […]

Attack of the Drones
The pace of technological change is accelerating. We know that. There is too much money to be won. Some 21-year old kid in Irvine just sold a virtual reality headset invention for $2 billion.
