“Kimberly Akimbo” thrills audience members looking for a feel-good, comical performance. If you want to spend an evening with loved ones laughing and reminiscing on the good times in life, this is the show for you. Audiences, young and old, will love this production.
“Kimberly Akimbo” is a purely original show and a showcase of theatre as its own art form. It’s not trying to act like a movie.
Local 12’s Bob Herzog gives off a bit of a Jim Carrey vibe in his interpretation of the Cat which is fun and highly entertaining.
The story of The Cat in the Hat, originally written by Dr. Seuss and published in 1957, has a plot as simple as this: Two Children, Conrad and Sally (and their pet goldfish) are home alone on a rainy day while their mother is out.
Xavier’s Pippin is more than just a musical—it’s an exploration of human longing. It is, in every sense, a journey worth taking.
The role of King Henry is a difficult one; it demands of its actor the arrogant confidence of a soccer hooligan, and the guilt of someone asking the people they love to potentially die for them. Caleb Lindsey pulls off both sides.
CCM Acting’s “Emilia” delivers a thought-provoking script, strong direction, and wonderful acting by both principals and the ensemble.
Overall, Henry V is always worth seeing, as every production emphasizes a new angle or a new perspective.
In 1611 Emilia Bassano wrote a volume of radical, feminist and subversive poetry. It was one of the first published collections of poetry written by an English woman. The little we know of Emilia Bassano is restricted to the possibility that she may have been the ‘Dark Lady’ of Shakespeare’s Sonnets – and the rest of her story has been erased by history.
This play hit home for me. I would be remiss not to mention that my maternal grandmother was a hoarder and my paternal grandmother suffered from dementia. My direct connection to these themes combined with Wohl’s gentle portrayal of Sam caused me to become emotional during the later scenes of the play which I wasn’t fully expecting.
“A Distinct Society” is a thought-provoking and insightful contemporary story. I recommend it because it is ironically prophetic.
This intimate play follows two single fathers, Ryan and Keith, who bond over daily daycare drop-offs and an increasingly complex financial situation. As Ryan seeks a loan to buy a plot of land with deep family ties, the two men gradually open up, sharing their struggles and fears about fatherhood in their unstable worlds.
This play by Samuel D. Hunter (the playwright behind A Bright New Boise and The Whale) explores the highs and lows of being a father in small town America, where the men are forced to make ends meet through working dead-end jobs.
Kareem Fahmy’s play, based on true events, unfolds in a library straddling the U.S.-Canada border, where five individuals from diverse backgrounds converge amidst the chaos of the “Muslim ban.” This new play explores into the ways in which family, food, art, love, and politics can be sources of both conflict and connection.
The emotional impact is profound, and while there is beauty in Pi’s resilience, his journey is not an easy one.
Whether or not you’re familiar with the book or the Oscar-winning film, ‘Life of Pi’ is a must-see.
