Dirty Blonde is directed by BoHo Artistic Advisor Stephen Genovese. “I made myself platinum, but I was born a dirty blonde.” –Mae West Claudia Shear’s hilarious and touching play weaves together the rise and fall of Mae West, the legendary star of stage and screen, with the awkward romance of Jo and Charlie, two Mae West fanatics in present- day New York. The brash and outspoken Jo is an aspiring actress stuck in a cycle of temp jobs while Charlie, a meek and introspective soul, works in the film archives of the New York public library. Though seemingly polar opposites, both are striving for something they see in Mae—a confidence and finesse that made her into the extravagant, sexy, taboo-breaking public persona that was the hallmark of her fame. But Mae sacrificed much to maintain her public image. What are Charlie and Jo willing to sacrifice to become like her? Directed by Jeff Award-winning director Stephen Genovese (Sideshow, The Glorious Ones, I Am My Own Wife (co-director)), the production features three versatile and talented performers who sing, dance, and play dozens of characters.

  • Juno Talent: Ellen Page, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Alison Janney, J. K. Simmons, Olivia Thirlby. Date Of
    Juno Talent: Ellen Page, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Alison Janney, J. K. Simmons, Olivia Thirlby. Date of review: Thursday 13th December, 2007 Director: Jason Reitman Duration: 91 minutes Classification: M We rate it: 4 and a half stars. Jason Reitman, son of ultra-mainstream (and very successful) Hollywood director Ivan Reitman (he of Ghostbusters, Stripes and Kindergarten Cop fame) may just be able to move out from under his father’s significant shadow with this wonderful film. Jason Reitman’s breakthrough film as a director was 2005’s Thank You for Smoking, a cleverly written and very well performed black comedy that was so well pulled-off that one felt in the presence of promising new talent. It seems that feeling was correct, because with Juno, a very different film to its predecessor, Reitman has made an utterly assured and charming comedy/drama, and has drawn tremendously convincing and engaging performances from the entire cast. The talented young actress Ellen Page (who was so memorable in the confronting thriller Hard Candy) plays the titular character, an intelligent, articulate, out-of-left- field high-school student who, as our story opens, finds herself pregnant to her close friend and would-be boyfriend, Bleeker. Being smart, strong and self-possessed, Juno confronts her situation level-headedly, and decides, on reflection, that she will go through with the pregnancy and offer her child for adoption to a couple who are unable to conceive. With the support of her family - stepmother Bren (the wonderful Alison Janney) and father Mac (the ever-humourous J.

Geoffrey Rush casually shared a smoke or two with regular folks on the sidewalk outside the It Might Get Loud party at the George Pimentel for National Post SoHo Metropolitan. National Post · Friday, Sept. 12, 2008 How the Post’s team of reporters saw this year’s film festival. By Nathalie Atkinson, Vanessa Farquharson, Shinan Govani, Ben Kaplan, Chris Knight, Adam McDowell, Katherine Monk, Jay Stone and Bob Thompson Best festival motto OK, there is only one: For the love of film. But it’s so flexible. Say it in a straight voice and it’s about how much you enjoy movies. Add a sarcastic tone and it doubles as an epithet for when you’ve just been turned away from a party, or had your cab snatched by Julianne Moore: “Oh, for the love of film!” C.K. Best star-sighting vantage point If you can, land this coveted spot: the corner table behind the mesh divider at the Hazelton’s lobby bar, which offers perfect sightlines to the hotel’s patio, restaurant, lobby, elevators and washroom corridor, so you don’t miss a single star. It’s celebrity central: Mickey Rourke, Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood, Adrian Brody, Mark Ruffalo, überpublicist Stephen Huvane and the last emperor himself, Valentino, all waltzed through.

  • AS YOU LIKE IT, the First Production of Our 50Th Anniversary Season, and the First Show in Our Shakespearean Act
    Welcome It is my pleasure to welcome you to AS YOU LIKE IT, the first production of our 50th anniversary season, and the first show in our Shakespearean act. Shakespeare’s plays have been a cornerstone of our work at CSC, and his writing continues to reflect and refract our triumphs and trials as individuals and collectively as a society. We inevitability turn to Shakespeare to express our despair, bewilderment, and delight. So, what better place to start our anniversary year than with the contemplative search for self and belonging in As You Like It. At the heart of this beautiful play is a speech that so perfectly encapsulates our mortality. All the world’s a stage, and we go through so many changes as we make our exits and our entrances. You will have noticed many changes for CSC. We have a new look, new membership opportunities, and are programming in a new way with more productions and a season that splits into what we have called “acts.” Each act focuses either on a playwright or on an era of work. It seemed appropriate to inaugurate this with a mini-season of Shakespeare, which continues with Fiasco Theater's TWELFTH NIGHT. Then there is Act II: Americans dedicated to work by American playwrights Terrence McNally (FIRE AND AIR) and Tennessee Williams (SUMMER AND SMOKE); very little of our repertoire has focused on classics written by Americans. This act also premieres a new play by Terrence McNally, as I feel that the word classic can also encapsulate the “bigger idea” and need not always be the work of a writer from the past.
