What’s a little murder to spice up your evening?<\/em><\/p>\n Normally Sunday nights are quiet, but on this particular Sunday, the Actors Company parking lot is filled with people coming and going. The Hollywood Fringe Festival is in full swing, and the residents of Los Angeles trot back and forth between studios.<\/p>\n I am\u00a0here to see Hot Combs, Homegirls, and Homicides<\/em> by Nina Childs Productions. Once inside the large black box theater, I am instantly immersed as actresses meandered in the aisles, barking like baseball vendors, offering programs and passing out small bites of cotton candy. I grab some eagerly, excited at the promise of sugar. The flat floor stage is filled with proscenium chairs and a projected image of a full stadium. Already, an actress is sitting before us, reading idly. Utilizing the whole space, the vendors shout out the rules of the theater with a snap of their gum and a twist of their ball caps.<\/p>\n
