Theater Camp is a Loving Portrait of Performing Arts Programs

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:40:15 GMT

Early on in Theater Camp, a lovingly observed comedy about a beleaguered performing arts summer camp, the power goes out during auditions, but not even total darkness can deter 15-year-old Christopher (Luke Islam) from nailing the final note of “Defying Gravity.” In a nearby kitchen, the camp cook soldiers on too, adding, by flashlight, a dollop of whiskey to the chili pot before taking a swig for herself. At Camp AdriondACTS, everyone’s on edge since it’s becoming clear that the camp isn’t likely to survive the illness that has beset founder Joan Rubinsky (Amy Sedaris), a malady triggered by an over-produced middle-school production of Bye Bye Birdie.As the young Birdie lead, Sebastian (Alexander Bello), relates the story of Joan’s collapse to his riveted campmates, co-directors/co-writers Nick Lieberman and Molly Gordon (The Bear)–who also stars– cut away just as Sebastian states, “I obviously stayed in character.” Summer theater camp, no surprise, is filled with kids and adults w...

Ninth Circuit overturns political fundraising ban for local government employees

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:40:15 GMT

A federal appeals court Wednesday overturned a 1970s-era ban on local government employees seeking political donations from each other, a ruling spurred by a group of South Bay public defenders who sued the state while supporting a colleague’s run for Santa Clara County district attorney.At issue was a law signed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown in 1976 that became Section 3205 and loosened rules on state employees turning to each other for political support, fundraising and otherwise, but preserved restrictions for public workers who worked at county and other municipal levels. Wednesday’s written decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which declared Section 3205 unconstitutional, recalled how Brown’s staff questioned the law’s soundness before he enacted it.Judge Martha Berzon, writing for the three-judge panel that reviewed the legal challenge, rejected arguments from state Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office that the two-tiered rules were necessary...
