Stage Takes is a Theater Review blog, which I began after Fringe Festival 2024. My name is Alon and I consider myself an avid theater goer. I have had a keen interest in the arts since I was young: writing scripts in middle school and shooting short films in high school. I studied Theater at the University of La Verne over ten years ago, where I began to develop a sharper perception and taste of the stage.
This idea, of writing a blog, came to me over summertime during the Hollywood Fringe Festival. This year I had seen 40+ shows, the year prior probably 60+, and I have been attending Fringe since the year 2014. I find fulfillment in supporting fellow artists and peers (but can also be critical). I have written hundreds of short reviews of Fringe shows I have seen and, I ask, why should I limit this passion to once a year? I hope you will join me on this journey of finding well-done theater across Los Angeles, share your thoughts on my thoughts, and maybe even find some good recommendations.
