Join IMPROVISED BUFFY for a Major Slayer Double Feature
This month, Improvised Buffy will be at The Kraine Theater for a one-night-only performance in this space. Reward yourself for voting with a night at the Bronze! To thank their fans, Improvised Buffy is inviting everyone in attendance to stay in the theater after the show for a special screening of the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. There will be early 90's special effects, neon crop tops, and a bar in the theater for an optional Buffy-related drinking game. Doors at 7 PM.
BWW Review: Rollins' GUYS & DOLLS is Enjoyable, but Lacks Runyan Charm
At its best, GUYS AND DOLLS will transport you to another time and place. A place where career criminals wear colorful, oddly-patterned suits; speak with humorous, but non-descript accents; and live lives in which their marker is their more sacred than gold. This place is called Runyonland. Unfortunately, as entertaining as Rollins College's production of this classic 'Musical Fable' is, it rarely ever rises to the Runyonland level. Running through Sunday, April 26th at the Annie Russell Theatre, Rollins' GUYS AND DOLLS is enjoyable, and again affirms why the program is one of the most consistent theatre companies in Central Florida, but lacks the joy and whimsy that makes GUYS AND DOLLS one of the greatest examples of the American musical theatre.
BWW Review: MACHINAL Proves Rollins College Is One of Orlando's Best Theatre Companies
One of the reasons that I especially enjoy going to quality collegiate theatre is that, while these programs want to have as many people in the audience as possible, for obvious exposure and financial reasons, they are far more focused on presenting interesting and challenging works that prepare their students for whatever artistic careers they eventually pursue. Rollins College's production of MACHINAL, running through February 21st, will not be for everyone, but thankfully, director and Department Chair Dr. David Charles has larger goals in mind for this program.
