Without Walls Festival: Counterweight
9500 Gilman Drive, San Diego, 92093
Cost: $15
As part of the La Jolla Playhouse's "site specific" festival, Moxie Theater stages Jennifer Barclay's comedy-drama in an elevator at the Potiker Theatre. Betty Jean, dressed as a stewardess and at least a titch luno, takes us on a 30-minute tour of love's risings and fallings. The elevator doors open, like a theater curtain, on three separate couples (on three separate floors), and show young, middle aged, and senior relationships off kilter; each needing to "counterweight" their lopsided love. Betty Jean (the very funny Lisel Gorell-Getz) is also in love, maybe, with the operator next door, whom she never sees. The show runs every half-hour from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Worth a try.
