The Empty Space is EMPTY!
If you get today's paper (or if you're all on-line all the time) you need to check out my big SOS on how The Empty Space is having a bit of a cash flow problem.
Back in the day (three months ago) when I did theater reviews I think this was the only theater I didn't give a crappy review to. Hmmm, I mean, I was kind of timid to Julius Caesar because, like a big political nerd, that's my favorite Shakespeare play (next to the over the top, ultraviolence of "Titus." I like my spectacles big and ridiculous, hence why I was one of those folks screaming "Gangs of New York" is the greatest worst movie EVER! I mean, C'MON, the guy built a city! It was like sci-fi but it wasn't.)
But overall, The Space had a stellar season. Loved "The Vagina Monologues." Loved "SubUrbia," loved "Stop Kiss," loved "Cabaret," loved, loved, LOVED "Angels in America." (If you missed it I feel so sorry for you.) I'm a big fan of "Hurry Up, Santa."
But as usual, I'm rambling. The Empty Space is broke folks. They're poor. A matter of fact, their just po' becuase, seriously, they can't afford the other "o" and "r." And I've got respect for these guys. Last season they put on the GAYEST SEASON EVER! And I don't know how you can possibly make theater anymore gay that it already is (happy ... gay means happpy). I mean "The Vagina Monologues?" "Angels In America?" "Stop Kiss" "The Altruists" AND "Cabaret?" There was more gender-bending going on than RuPaul playing Twister with Mario Cantone.
That said, this holiday season, lend a hand and help Bakersfield theater out. Go see a frickin' play folks. It's good for you. And c'mon, The Empty Space is the only theater in town where the actors will literally do anything, ANYTHING for a good show. I mean, there's a least one naked person in like EVERY OTHER SHOW. Guinevere Park-Hall did 90 percent of the Altruists in her pantyhose.
That's love, man. That ... is ... LOVE.
That said the 2nd Annual Empty Space Awards is going down. Watch Space regulars win some respect.
The party is going down Sunday, January 2nd, 2005, starting at 6 p.m. at the DoubleTree Hotel off Rosedale Highway. Tickets are $35 per person and that includes the DoubleTree's alleged "five-star dinner."
If you want to go, reservations have to be in by Monday, Dec. 20. Give them a jingle at (661) 706-2649. Or email founder Brian Sivesind directly at emptyspacebrian@aol.com.
