BWW Review: Brave, Bold, and Beautiful SPRING AWAKENING at Lyric Music Theater
South Portland's Lyric Music Theater is taking a bold and daring step in presenting the 2006 musical adaptation of Frank Wedekind's 1891 provocative play, Spring Awakening. The wrenching musical drama explores with a piercing honesty the lives of teenagers and their adult authority figures locked in a lethal struggle as the young men and women search for freedom of expression, sexual liberation and fulfillment, and the embrace of their true identities in a dark, corseted world of repression and convention.
The issues raised by Frank Wedekind's play remain as potent and relevant today as they did in the late 19th century, and the Steven Sater book and lyrics and Duncan Sheik music remain true to the essence of the piece. Wedekind's world - the world of Freud and nascent psychology - is a bleak place where adults abuse their children psychologically and physically, where creativity is stifled, and love - as a total expression of body and soul - is forbidden. In this dark universe, the young villagers long in secret and search for a path through the pain.

BWW Review: Mad Horse Theatre Stages New Play by Maine Playwright
Mad Horse Theatre company has mounted a full production of Brent Askari's savvy, subtle, sometimes serious comedy, Digby's Home as its third main stage production of the 2015-2016 season, having first been introduced the work to Portland audience's at the company's BY LOCAL series.
The play, which chronicles the return to a small New England town of Digby Preston, a maladroit middle-aged man who has pursued his dreams of being a comedian in Los Angeles, and now comes back for a family visit hoping to repair family relationships and rediscover his place in his hometown. Digby's odyssey proves to be one subtle disappointment after another, and he soon finds the journey may actually be more meaningful than the homecoming, but his stay is not without some resolution.
