Matter of principle
New Perspective Festival is a gritty tribute to the local performance scene

By Martin Jones Westlin

I liked most of what I saw at the New Perspective Festival of original plays last week, but I’d have sent you to the rest of the run even if the program had sucked ketchup and cottage cheese. The fledgling New Perspective group, in association with La Jolla-based New Works/Vantage Theatre, is mounting an independent showcase of original pieces following the suspension of the Actors Alliance of San Diego summerfest—and since the Alliance event was the closest thing San Diego theater has to a trade show, New Perspective is stepping in at a vital moment, shoring up local summer theater’s public presence in a gritty, principled way.
