WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Michael Bouson and Joe Correll
by Jeffrey Ellis
- Jan 7, 2015
Today's spotlight falls upon Michael Bouson and Joe Correll, two of the loveliest people I've ever known. Creative and imaginative, they brought their hilarious hijinks to the stage when they founded The Avante Garage Comedy Repertory Theatre, a comedy improv/musical theater company that set stages afire throughout Music City, introducing some of the region's best-loved performers to audiences who still remember every joke, every laugh and every song. Now living in Los Angeles, where they are both involved in television production, Michael and Joe made a triumphant return to Nashville in late August, when they were saluted at The First Night Honors of 2014.

Today's spotlight falls upon Chambers Stevens, who defines the word "multi-hyphenate." (Seriously, look in a dictionary-they still make dictionaries, don't they?-and you'll find his headshot next to the word.) He is an actor-director-playwright-acting coach-producer-consultant-husband-and-father. And in 2012, he was recognized as a First Night Honoree for the role he has played in the development of theater in Tennessee.

More importantly, perhaps, since I know where the bodies are buried-both literally and figuratively-I am provided a unique perspective on the personalities that have shaped theater in Tennessee for at least the past 30 years (I was five years old when I started in this gig). Today you will be introduced to one of the finest actors to ever walk onto a Tennessee stage via our brand new feature series…WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Our first subject is Mark Delabarre, who who spoke with us from his home in New York City.
BWW Reviews: They're Playing Our (Grandparents) Song at Winter Park Playhouse
by Justin J Sacramone
- Sep 19, 2014
Vernon Gersch, a 70's songwriter, is a punctual and sarcastic stick in the mud and Sonia Walsk practices candor and tardiness. So when he proposes to join forces with Sonia it is clear from the start that these two are going to make a comedically disastrous pairing. A score by Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager and jokes by Neil Simon, THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG is a passe musical about the real-life relationship of Hamlisch and Sager. It is also The Winter Park Playhouse's third show of the season, conveniently starring the Company's Executive and Artistic Directors.

EDINBURGH 2013 - BWW Reviews: JEKYLL & HYDE, Assembly Roxy, August 10 2013
by Adrian Bradley
- Aug 11, 2013
The story of JEKYLL & HYDE has been reworked and reinterpreted many times since Stevenson's original novella. The text offers so much to sink your teeth into its no surprise that directors keep on coming back to it. Flipping the Bird's production keeps the key themes intact - the mad scientist, the search for perfection, the beast within - and all the while using it to explore ideas way ahead of its time.

BWW Reviews: WHEN THE WORLD WAS GREEN (a Chef's Fable) - a MENU for REVENGE
by Jimmy Ferraro
- Apr 16, 2013
Director Todd Olson, staged the poetic dialogue with a masterful hand. Mr. Olsen's addition of haunting, instumental melodies at the most reverent moments, further enhanced the sensationalism of the scenes. In 'WHEN THE WORLD WAS GREEN (a Chef's Fable)', Todd Olson has once again, created a work of ART.
