BWW Review: Fuse Theatre Ensemble Takes CABARET to a Whole New Level of Dark, Right Where It Belongs
Fuse Theatre Ensemble's CABARET, directed by Rusty Tennant, adds a few layers of pain and desperation. The result is a CABARET that makes a lot of sense, especially given the disturbing parallels between the play's setting and America today. It was fantastic.

Tickets Are Now On Sale for Staged Reading of Dmae Roberts' THE COURTESAN
The Courtesan is a drama with comedic movement. The play will be a vigorous staged reading with dance, music, Taiko and projections of the artwork that inspired each of the nine scenes I've written. It's an experiment to see if indeed artwork can come alive and change people's lives.

THE COURTESAN A New Play by Dmae Roberts Premieres in January
In 2012, Dmae Roberts visited the Van Gogh museum and saw all these Japanese prints. She was surprised they to find the prints included in the museum. Then Roberts realized these paintings were Van Gogh's copies of Japanese wood-block prints. Many artists copied these prints including Manet, Degas and Monet. Japanese artwork really gave birth to Impressionism. She couldn't get the image of one painting, The Courtesan, out of her head. She imagined the subject of the painting talking to the artist. Then Roberts thought about global influences of art and cultures and how art can help give us hope even through devastation.
