NARCOS: MEXICO Starring Diego Luna and Michael Pena to Premiere Globally on Netflix This Year
Narcos: Mexico will launch as a new Netflix original series later this year. Shifting away from Colombia, where Narcos spent three seasons, Narcos: Mexico will explore the origins of the modern drug war by going back to its roots, beginning at a time when the Mexican trafficking world was a loose and disorganized confederation of independent growers and dealers. Witness the rise of the Guadalajara Cartel in the 1980s as Félix Gallardo (Diego Luna) takes the helm, unifying traffickers in order to build an empire. When DEA agent Kiki Camarena (Michael Peña) moves his wife and young son from California to Guadalajara to take on a new post, he quickly learns that his assignment will be more challenging than he ever could have imagined. As Kiki garners intelligence on Félix and becomes more entangled in his mission, a tragic chain of events unfold, affecting the drug trade and the war against it for years to come.

BWW Review: KING LEAR at University Of Louisville - Budding Among The Ruins
As a character, King Lear is the great aging lion, one of what Charlton Heston called the 'man killers' of Shakespeare, and a play that examines the hubris and arrogance in power held too long. In an unusual collaboration, Commonwealth Theatre Center (CTC) and University of Louisville Theatre Arts are co-producing this production, which mixes faculty and students from both institutions among its cast and crew.

HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL Hijacks the EPAC Stage This Month
Based on the 1988 cult favorite film Heathers, this musical of the same name approaches high school popularity and angst from a dark, devious perspective. At Westerburg High, a trio of popular girls named Heather invite newcomer Veronica into their it-girl clique, but the group is quickly brought down from its status by bad boy J.D. With murder, blackmail, sex, and deceit running rampant, Heathers: The Musical takes the troubles of being a teenager to a whole new level of campy `musical comedy.
BWW Blog: Shelby Ringdahl - Why the New York Regional Premiere of HEATHERS THE MUSICAL Has More Relevance Now Than Ever
When you think of Heathers the Musical, you think of croquet, powerhouse vocals, and colorful blazers. You think of scrunchies, high waisted jeans, and all things 80's. Let me preface this post by saying the show is filled with moments that will have you falling over laughing, brilliant performances by an insanely talented cast of 22, and a creative team made up of the best of the best. It's definitely a show you don't want to miss, specifically because beneath it all is a message for the masses. While some might say it's easy to get distracted by its twisted plot and songs about male genitalia, the overarching theme of the musical shows the true impact we as humans have on one another. In this show, we see just how evil humans can actually be to one another, and how we are called to be soooooooo much better than this. With all the hate going on in the world right now, it is proven that we, as humans, can be absolutely brutal to one another. We will tear each other down to the bone just to make ourselves feel better (look at the presidential election, for example). But this show hones in on the affects that words and actions can have on the minds of others…especially young people.

BWW Review: Mean Girls, Primary Colors and Grand Guignol: HEATHERS at Red Branch
It is a safe bet that at every institution of secondary education with female students, there are Mean Girls. It is also a safe bet that there isn't a reader who needs the term defined, because there probably isn't a reader who hasn't experienced Mean Girls - or been one of them. And one trait we know the Mean Girls all share is they make people want to kill them.
