A parody with puppets, continued...
Although the characters live on a street located on the fringes of New
York City, these aren’t the loveable riff-raff who populate the
children’s show. They’re in their 20s and 30s, and deal with the kind
of adult problems that never popped up in Jim Henson’s universe: things
such as unemployment, racism and Internet porn addiction.
Profanity
is used quite extensively in the show, and one of the biggest hits is
called “The Internet is for Porn,” so even though it may channel
“Sesame Street” vibes, this particular puppet-infused piece isn’t a
show for the entire family. But grown-ups and teenagers fond of “South
Park” will appreciate the black humor.

OTHER HAPPENINGS
Estonian National Symphony Orchestra
Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts
March 27
Although
it only regained its independence in 1991, the country of Estonia’s
Estonian National Symphony Orchestra began in 1926. From its humble
beginnings as a radio orchestra, it has grown into that nation’s
leading classic ensemble, including a BBC Music Magazine Award in 2005
for Best Orchestral Album for “Grieg: Peer Gynt.”

“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
Hunger Artists Theatre
March 20-April 11
He
is the leading living American playwright, but productions of Edward
Albee don’t come around too often. His works are challenging,
multi-layered and not the easiest sell for audiences, but that’s not
stopping the Hunger Artists from mounting Albee’s most famous play,
“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” It’s a caustic look at one of
literature’s most dynfunctional marital relationships.

“The Science of Hockey”
Discovery Science Center
Opens March 29
Anaheim
isn’t quite Hockey Town USA, but its resident professional team, the
Ducks, have certainly captured the fancy of Orange County since forming
in 1993. In March, the Taco Bell Discovery Science Center opens a new
permanent exhibition, “The Science of Hockey,” filled with informative
and interactive exhibits about a cold-weather sport that has become a
staple of our warm weather environs.
