What did our critic think of BOOK OF DAYS at Wichita Community Theatre?

With its engaging and sentimental tale of “forbidden-love-that-could-of-been,” Robert James Walker’s 1992 best-selling novel, The Bridges of Madison County, was made into a 1995 successful movie of the same title starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. After the success of that motion picture, book writer Marsha Norman teamed up with composer Jason Robert Brown to create the 2014 Broadway musical.  Wichita audiences now have the opportunity to hear that luscious score performed once more.

Michael Cristofer’s 1977 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama The Shadow Box concerns a grim topic that all of us will one day face.  Wildly successful on its release, it won the Tony Award for Best Play.  But for all its success, oddly enough, it has rarely been produced since the 1980s.  The play tackles the universal themes of loss, fear, and human attachment.  Guild Hall Players mounts a heartbreaking and emotional production of The Shadow Box and succeeds in tackling this demanding piece of theatre.

What did our critic think of [TITLE OF SHOW] at Roxy's Downtown?

What did our critic think of BETWEEN THE LINES at Newman University?

Being a fan of Alfred Hitchcock’s works, I was eager to see The Forum Theatre’s production of acclaimed Jeffrey Hatcher's new adaptation of Frederick Knott's Dial M for Murder.  Hatcher’s adaptation of the classic suspense thriller pays homage to the original and is a smart, tight, compelling update of Knott’s tale of jealousy, deception, and homicide. For those who have been fans of all things Hitchcock, The Forum’s production of Dial M for Murder will hit every nuance.  From the dangling burning cigarette to the ever-present liquor cabinet and the constant pouring of whiskey or brandy.

What did our critic think of DEAR JACK, DEAR LOUISE at Kechi Playhouse?

Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors is a Bram-new comedy that Wichita audiences can really sink their teeth into. Mix a dosage of Rocky Horror, a generous helping of Mel Brooks and a splash of Monty Python and the results are an evening of hilarity.
