On the Scene John Berger |
CONGRATULATIONS, ERIC!: Anna Fishburn talked with Eric Nemoto at the opening-night party for the Actors Group production of "The Guys" on Wednesday. Nemoto gives a superb performance in this drama about the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks on New York.
THREE NICE FOLKS TO MEET: Actors Janice Terukina, left, Daryl Bonilla and Dawn Gohara celebrated the opening of "Folks You Meet in Longs" at Kumu Kahua on Thursday. Terukina touched the heart as a woman who dreams of being married to "Mr. Longs," and Bonilla got big laughs in a lengthy sketch about diarrhea. Gohara ties the show together as the narrator.
A GREAT TIME WITH BOBCAT: Bobcat Goldthwait, center, relaxed with Greg Azus, left, Roger Wilko, Margaret Jones and Paul Ogata after his show at Pipeline Cafe on Friday. Goldthwait's excellent 60-minute set included comments on "Star Wars" nerds, the relative sexual appeal of Johnny Depp vs. Rosie O'Donnell, and something his daughter said that left him speechless. Ogata opened the show. Old friends Wilko and Goldthwait had lost touch years back and finally caught up backstage.
MARLENE SINGS SOLO: Arsenio Tejada was in the house when Marlene Baldueza sat in with Arsenio Ramirez Pelayo's group, Arsenio the Band, at Phillip Paulo's in Restaurant Row on Friday. Baldueza's set made it clear she's an appealing solo performer.
