BWW Review: THE LAST FIVE YEARS at PART THEATRE
This show is sentimental, soul-searching, and tear-jerking, but meant to stir you up inside and make you think about life. In retrospect, one looks back at their past to see how they ended up in the present. The Last Five Years reflects on that and does it well, bringing a really beautiful piece of musical theatre to the forefront.

BWW Review: INDECENT at Bluebarn Theatre: An Artistic Masterpiece

BWW Review: UNCLE VANYA at Brigit Saint Brigit Theatre Company: Misery Meets Magical
The Brigit Saint Brigit Theatre Company opens UNCLE VANYA at the Joslyn Castle. The stellar cast under the able direction of Cathy Kurz perfectly carries out Chekhov's desire for naturalism. They do not overact. There is no melodrama or big gestures. They feel the emotion and it is exposed. This is stripped down genuine humanity and it is truly special.

BWW Review: THE LAST FIVE YEARS Meets at a Crossroads
Last night I found myself at a crossroads. It was the Crossroads Mall in Omaha. Inside this nearly vacant structure is a tiny live theater tucked into the northeast corner.
