We love bringing fresh ‘n funny musicals to the Falcon stage – but what really makes those productions pop is the rockin’ choreography! Ameenah Kaplan is the choreographer for the upcoming Troubie musical, A Wither’s Tale, which is opening the Falcon’s 2010-2011 Subscription Season in August. Ameenah has been working with the Troubies and all over LA for years – and she allowed us to get a little insight into her work as a choreographer:
Falcon: What was your first experience with dance and/or theater? What was it that inspired you to make it your career?
Ameenah Kaplan: My first experience with dance was taking ballet as a kid around age 9 or 10. Unfortunately, my parents understood sports much better than the arts, and they dropped the dance lessons in favor or organized sport. I loved sports but longed to return to dance which didn’t happen until I was about 14 [...]

The Falcon is Cultivating Comedy in the Community!
The 2010-2011 5-Play Subscription Season begins on August 11, 2009.
Falcon Theatre Founder, Garry Marshall, is thrilled to announce the Falcon Theatre’s 2010-2011 5-Play Subscription Season. The Falcon’s 8th subscription series is cultivating comedy through the voices of veteran stage actors and newcomers alike, featuring two new musical parodies from the Troubadour Theater Company, a hit one-woman show staring Stephanie Zimbalist, a new comedy by the up-and-coming talent Annie Hendy and an international hit presented in association with the Falcon’s long-time friend Rita Wilson.
The season begins in Bohemia as the Troubadour Theater Company stirs up Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale with the soulful music of singer/songwriter Bill Withers, in their musical parody A WITHER’S TALE. Next, Stephanie Zimbalist stars as Hollywood legend Katharine Hepburn in the critically acclaimed one-woman show TEA AT FIVE. For the holidays, the Troubadour Theater Company returns with a [...]

Rick Batalla and Henry Phillips are no strangers to comedy or musicals…or each other. Their last great venture together was the award-winning Blake…da Musical, and CHiPS continues their comedy legacy.
One of these creative minds behind CHiPS THE MUSICAL, now playing at the Falcon Theatre, Rick Batalla, took some time out of his busy production schedule to reflect on his experiences with the show so far.
Rick Batalla – writer & "Ponch" in CHiPS THE MUSICAL
Falcon: What was your first experience with the theater?
Rick Batalla: My first experience was awkward. I didn’t really know the girl, and I don’t think she was that into me. I remember weeping afterwards. Oh wait, you said theater experience…Never mind. I’m getting that awkward feeling again.
Falcon: What is it like writing a new musical?
RB: This is my second musical, the first being the Ovation Award winning Blake..Da Musical, and the process is pretty much [...]

The Falcon Theatre is thrilled to present CHiPS the Musical, presented by the Troubadour Theater Company, a world premiere musical parody with original story and music written by Rick Batalla & Henry Phillips, and directed by Matt Walker. Do you crave some good, old-fashioned police work where men in uniforms that are a bit too tight, dance, sing and catch the bad guys? Look no further!
Take a journey down the 405 Freeway circa the 1970s when highways were hopping and surface streets were for sissies – when you could get from Downtown to the Westside in 20 minutes, and not just in a Toyota. There you’ll find those super-flashy stewards of safety and suave-ness, Ponch and John, in CHiPS the Musical. Rest assured, Ponch and John are still wearing their well-starched uniforms, packin’ the heat, and looking fine enough to cause a fender-bender while battling criminals of the worst kind: female eco-terrorists sporting roller skates and [...]
