Online/Digital
Using multimedia and the written word, Stage Raw is a digital journal dedicated to discovering, discussing, and honoring L.A.-based arts and culture. The site offers complimentary searchable event listings, reviews (in written and podcast formats), features, profiles, humor, and essays. Stage Raw will focus on the many voices and visions across the globe to strive for a better understanding of local stresses and joys. We stand behind the actor on the unadorned stage; the director forging undiscovered meanings in a classic; the dramatist, painter, comedian, and composer who may not have an agent, but who have something authentic to say. Stage Raw is here to provoke, and serve artists and their audiences in the larger struggle to discern the purpose of our lives, and the meaning of our city. Source

Bruce Smith The Garage Theatre Through Sept. 26 Rick Napoli and Whitney Ellis (Photo by Diana Kauffman) Elizabeth Egloff’s The Swan is often described as weird.
