THE SIDEWALK STAGEPLAY Paul Robeson Theatre/African American Cultural Center
Think about the phrase “mean streets,” a Martin Scorsese movie, a Raymond Chandler phrase, a slang comment at a cocktail party.

FROST/NIXON Andrews Theatre/Irish Classical Theatre Company
Looking around the Andrews Theatre for an early performance of Peter Morgan’s “Frost/Nixon,” I couldn’t help wonder which side of the great political war of the early 70s each member of the audience was on

RAGTIMEMusicalFare Theatre/Daemen College
“Ragtime” was a spectacle on the stage when I saw the pre-Broadway run in Toronto, an amazing show of singing and dancing and special effects, including Coalhouse Walker Jr.’s Model T, spread across a giant stage in what was then North York.

However, this does not to have been done since in the most recent budget we are still paying for the water districts.

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S TheatreLoft/ART of WNY
Think about it: “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
It’s a movie name familiar to most, Henry Mancini’s “Moon River” and Audrey Hepburn, with that little black dress and the cigarette holder as Holly Golightly.

THE KATHY AND MO SHOW: Parallel Lives/The Dark Side Shea's Smith Theatre/O'Connell & Company
At one time, theater was Shakespeare or vaudeville.
Fewer people are interested in the Bard today and vaudeville disappeared about the time Shea’s Buffalo was built.
