Stalin's Secretary, Monday, May 25, 8 p.m., directed by Jessica

Kubzansky 2nd Stage, 6500 Santa Monica Blvd., Hollywood.

“Hollywood

co-op neighbors are at war over the presence of domesticated chickens

in the back yard,  one neighbor is defiantly trying to buy up the

building, and Joseph Stalin has crashed through the roof – only to be

elected President  of the Homeowners' Association!  This subversive new

comedy reveals the many different meanings of “home” as it jaywalks

across the intersection of civil rights and domestic security.”
