Just in time for opening weekend, Margaret Gray pointed the spotlight at The Other Place (along with other noteworthy shows in intimate theaters) in the Los Angeles Times’ “99-Seat Beat”.

Who is the metaphorical “pollen” involved in The Other Place? Director Matthew McCray, who is also the Founding Artistic Director of L.A.’s Son of Semele Ensemble.
