THE FULL MONTY The Manny Fried Playhouse/Subversive Theatre
Get your tickets, now, for “The Full Monty.”
That’s Subversive Theatre’s annual “Workers Power Play Series,” this year the musical about laid-off steel plant workers right here, rather than the somewhat tendentious plays of some past years.

I DO! IDO!
It’s amazing sometimes how many different takes the stage provides about marriage.
Often, it’s comic.
Sometimes, it’s tragic.
Seldom is it pointless.

“Dracula” is a wonderful show but the Shaw Festival production occasionally makes you want to be bitten just so it’s over.

THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL Avon Theatre/Stratford Festival

When Stratford impresario Antoni Cimolino scheduled Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s Restoration comedy “The School for Scandal,” he probably figured it was time for classic comedy.

HMS PINAFORE Avon Theatre/Stratford Festival
In these current days where there are concerns about all kinds of issues, Gilbert and Sullivan’s “HMS Pinafore” may be one of the few shows which makes it onto stages without selective slashings.
Of course, a wonderful production on Stratford Festival’s Avon Theatre stage may also have something to do with it.

ANDROCLES AND THE LION Court House Theatre/Shaw Festival
In his director’s notes for “Androcles and the Lion,” Tim Carroll describes George Bernard Shaw’s play as “A crazy mishmash.”
So, is Carroll’s production.
