A sing-the-songs, dance-the-dances, get-on-the-stage, win-the-prizes, good-old-fashioned English Music Hall musical revue for kids 2 to 102! ALL JOIN IN is a delightful, interactive world premiere musical afternoon of favorite songs and scenes from such popular Rudie-DeCarlo Family Theatre productions as Cinderella, Alice and the Wonderful Tea Party, Barnyard Madness, All the World’s A Stage, The Amazing American Melodrama, Beauty and the Beast, Dorothy’s Adventures in Oz and more. Like the British Musical Hall events of olde, audience members all “join in” as they sing along with their favorite characters to projected lyrics or follow along in activity-song books which they get to keep. There are prizes to win, and the chance to actively participate on stage. Guest performers, songs and stories change regularly, sometimes even from week-to-week, so come often – it’s always a different show!

A world premiere romantic comedy! Sexy Stratfordian Elizabeth Shakespeare says she is a descendant of the Bard and is willing to kill to protect his name. But, with a simple key-stroke on his computer, the astute detective, an Oxfordian, can prove Shakespeare didn’t write a single word of the plays and sonnets. Via his computer he conjures up The Bard and The Earl from their four centuries’ demise. And finally, after 400 years, the truth is revealed. Who really wrote those “Shakespeare” plays? It gets down to a duel of wits about wills and Wills (with a goodly amount of romance along the way). With much at stake, the eventual outcome will surprise, and delight Oxfordians, Stratfordians, and even those who don’t know their Othello from their Pericles. Penned by noted playwright/novelist Abraham Alan Ross and helmed by acclaimed director Chris DeCarlo, this delightfully buoyant evening of theatre features stage and screen personalities Tony Perzow and Pia Pownall in the title roles, with the versatile James Schendel in a host of roles that includes, of course, William Shakespeare. Produced by Santa Monica Playhouse in conjunction with Andy Rodman and Bonnie Sanders.
