Last weekend I was delighted to discover the music, comedy and magic of Zanna Don’t – now playing at Theatre Out. This quirky social satire, filled with colorful characters and energetic music, provides the perfect balance between high comedy and cultural commentary.
Zanna, a mystical matchmaker and student at Heartsville High, maneuvers through a parallel universe where homosexuality is the norm and heterosexuality is taboo. With a wave of his magic wand everyone gets a piece of “extra love” – everyone except Zanna. Chaos ensues when the high school’s drama club prepares a musical production to combat heterophobia, revealing heterosexual love between two characters that is forbidden to exist.
Poignant lyrics disguise a repetitive musical score, creating a relatable emotional journey through the byways of love. With several standout performances from this cast of 8 players, and a running time of 1 hour and 30 minutes with no intermission, this fast paced show provides the perfect dose of entertainment.
June 25th – July 31st, Friday & Saturdays @ 8PM, select Thursdays @ 8PM & select Sundays @ 2PM. Theatre Out's home is The Empire Theatre in the Artists' Village in downtown Santa Ana, located at 202 N. Broadway, Santa Ana, CA. Tickets are available online at http://www.theatreout.com/ or by calling the Theatre Out Box Office at (714) 826-8700. $25 General Admission, $15 Student Admission.
