Review: WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME at TheatreSquared
What did our critic think of WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME at TheatreSquared? TheatreSquared always impresses me. Before the show I talked with the enjoyable cafe concierge who said he hoped I liked the show. I told him that they always do a wonderful job with every production. However, it’s the variety that intrigues me. Rarely do I recognize what is being offered. It’s exciting and never boring. I love it.

BWW Review: DADA WOOF PAPA HOT at About Face Theatre
In DADA WOOF PAPA HOT, now in its Chicago premiere at About Face Theatre, playwright Peter Parnell explores that nagging question of what it means to have it all. The play centers on a gay couple and their circle of friends. Though Alan (Bruch Reed) and Rob (Benjamin Sprunger) have been together for fifteen years, they've been married for a much shorter period of time and must navigate their shifting identities as partners and as parents of their three-year-old daughter, Nicola. (The play's seemingly nonsensical title refers to her first words and attempt at her parents' names.) The characters in DADA WOOF PAPA HOT are clearly well-off, but that doesn't make the ways in which they struggle with the challenges of daily life and parenthood any less human.

Vincent Sessa's BODY OF WORDS Begins Tonight at TNC
'Body of Words' by Vincent Sessa is set in a rented bungalow on a deserted stretch of beach on a summer night into morning. Two strangers meet -- a rugged, powerful middle-aged man and a young, athletic man who might be a student. A sexual contract is established between them but suspicion and violence ensue. Yet by morning an inseparable bond has joined the men together and they are changed forever. The play is evocative of the homecoming of Odysseus. The author, Vincent Sessa, is known for profoundly nuanced plays about men and women in personal, often political struggle. Theater for the New City will present the play's premiere run today, January 1 to 25, 2015, directed by John Michael DiResta.
