12 MO' ANGRY MEN Lorna C. Hill Theatre/Ujima Company
In the end, the playwright cops out and you will have to see “12 Mo’ Angry Men” to know why I say that.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING Niagara University/Leary Theater
In theater, tinkering with Shakespeare is routine, whether bowdlerizing or shifting time or place.
Many changes don’t work and fail miserably.

"MASTER HAROLD"...AND THE BOYS Andrews Theatre/Irish Classical Theatre Company
The play is old.
It’s by a playwright most Americans have never heard of and it’s set in a country most can’t place on a map.

LEGALLY BLONDE Daemen University/MusicalFare Theatre
Harvard Law School is one of those apex institutions, a goal for lots of driven young people who want to be lawyers in the tippy-top towers of the law, places which pay amazingly well or can change the world.

THE HOMECOMING Adam Mickiewicz Center/Torn Space Theatre
As we enter the holiday season, with its family joy and good food and stories of the past, perhaps we might look at a bad family.

THE CONVENT Compass Performing Arts Center/Brazen-Faced Varlets
The image of women considering becoming nuns involves an iron-willed novice mistress re-shaping their souls.
That’s not exactly the mother abbess of Jessica Dickey’s “The Convent.”

RICHARD O'BRIEN'S THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW Kavinoky Theatre
Many of the patrons I saw when attending “Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show” looked like traditional Kavinoky customers.
I wonder if any of them missed the name of the show and what it’s about before buying a ticket?

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE [abridged] [revised] [again] Allendale Theatre/D'Youville Graduate Acting Company in partnership with the Theatre of Youth
The three performers on the Allendale Theatre stage may not have solved the great issues of “Hamlet,” but served up great theater.

THE NATURAL HORSE Alleyway Theatre

SISTERS IN LAW Maxine & Robert Seller Theatre/Jewish Repertory Theatre
All it takes is five votes.
However, those might be the toughest five votes anyone can ever count.

THE GOLDEN GIRLS LOST EPISODES, volume 4: The Halloween Edition 4110 Bailey Avenue, Amherst/O'Connell & Company
“The Golden Girls” broadcast the last new episode May 9, 1992.
But, the TV show did not go gentle into the good night of syndication in those days, instead leading to spinoffs and constant rotation in this age of streaming television.
