	Familiar Strangers - World Premiere Presented by The Pear Avenue Theatre at The Pear Avenue Theatre March 2-March 18, 2012 Set in Los Angeles during the Iranian festival of No Rooz (“new day”), this wonderful new play explores the generational and cultural conflicts of an Iranian family split by revolution. With insight and humor, Slices alumna Margy Kahn portrays the struggle between an Iranian woman and her Americanized teen-aged daughter. Adolescent excesses charge the force field of cultural conflict, as each character comes to understand that neither Iranian nor American society has all the Familiar Strangers - World Premiere Presented by The Pear Avenue Theatre at The Pear Avenue Theatre March 2-March 18, 2012 Event Rating (0 votes)
	Bach at Leipzig Presented by The Pear Avenue Theatre at The Pear Avenue Theatre April 6-April 22, 2012 Six men in wigs and knee breeches—all named either Johann or Georg--converge on Leipzig in 1722. Each Johann/Georg has his eyes on the prize position of organmeister of the Thomaskirche. Madness of a comically German variety ensues, as witty barbs and historical allusions zip around the stage like nobody’s business. It’s a possenhaft lustspiel (laff riot)!

  This production each year is always a surprise. Some of the pieces are great, some of them not, sometimes the ensemble shines, sometimes not so much. I never know what to expect. This year I liked it quite a bit and though these pieces which are 8 short 10-15 minute plays seem to me to always go on JUST a bit to long, I was entertained by more pieces this year than I have been for several years now. Additionally, this year I saw new faces acting at the pear, and they were good fits to the intimate space, and to the variety of the pieces. If you have never been to Pear Slices before, this would be a good introduction to the local writing talent here and you might even see some actors you've never seen before! Collapse
