Diversionary Theatre Executive Director John Alexander is brimming with ideas, among them a celebration of the cabaret form. Therefore, Diversionary inaugurates its cabaret series Oct. 21 – 30 with the West Coast premiere of “Dead from New York: It’s Pepper & Sam!” Billed as one of the Big Apple’s popular downtown cabaret attractions, the show is the brainchild of two NYC-based performers and authors, Salty Brine (Pepper Mills) and Justin Levine (Play-it-again Sam)

With much antici…pation—and a couple of pre-production hiccups—The Old Globe is staging the queer classic “Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show,” over 35 years after the big-screen adaptation starting Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon shook up Hollywood and launched a cult of time-warping followers. Opening night is set for Friday, Sept.
Diversionary Theatre is staging their next production as their biggest, with an adaptation of Christopher Marlowe’s “Edward II” on the boards this week.

Lady Gaga is one of the biggest superstars in the world. But speaking to her only briefly during this rare interview, she evades her larger-than-life image with affable charm, self-deprecating humor (take that, so-called penis) and a down-to-earth demeanor.
With a sitcom, a music album, and a reality TV stint on her resume, comedienne Margaret Cho is a force to be reckoned with. Her comedy is blunt and provocative and at times controversial. She has been in show business for nearly 20 years, and she doesn’t plan on leaving it anytime soon.

The new release, “In Your Dreams,” picks up exactly where the gypsy queen left us—with that uniform sense of mystical otherworldliness that’s made Nicks a go-her-own-way virtuoso since her days with Fleetwood Mac.
There’s not much city in “Meet Monica Velour,” but there’s sex—and a trailer park and a very haggard-looking Kim Cattrall. The “Sex and the City” actress plays the title character, a washed-up porn star who meets a young fan of hers when the boy travels to rural Indiana to see her at a strip club
