The Monterey Peninsula welcomes a new theatre company on Fremont St. in Monterey called Stardust Playhouse, under the leadership of local actress Judie Swartz and her daughter, Kirsten Clapp who is a CSU Monterey Bay film student. They had a "soft opening" of RABBIT HOLE in October and presented MARIJUANA-LOGUES in January with local actors Tyler Shilstone, Allen Aston, Drew Davis-Wheeler and Patrick McEvoy. They have seven productions scheduled for the remainder of 2012, some comedies, some very serious. Their February 24 - March 11 production is YOU'VE GOT HATE MAIL by Billy Van Zandt and Jane Millmore. They also plan to run a "Spotlight Series," featuring live musicians, comedians, singer-songwriters and even gallery walks with local art.
