Actors' Shakespeare Project presents A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
Actors' Shakespeare Project closes its 13th season with the definitive Shakespearean recipe for mirth and magic. Start with equal parts poetry and wit, add one misapplied love potion, stir in a feuding celestial couple, and finish with the most unintentionally awful play-within-a-play ever created, and you get A Midsummer Night's Dream. Directed by Patrick Swanson (Revels' Artistic Director), the production features Resident Acting Company members Steven Barkhimer* (Bottom), Sarah Newhouse* (Puck), and Paula Plum* (Titania) (Picture left by Nile Scott Shots.) Performances are May 10 - June 4, 2017 (Press Performance Saturday, May 13, 2017, 8 PM) at Multicultural Arts Center, 41 Second Street, Cambridge. For tickets and more information, visit actorsshakespeareproject.org.

BWW Review: The Drowsy Thespian; An Intoxicatingly Frivolous Evening of Classical Theatre in SH*T-FACED SHAKESPEARE
Actors are superstitious people. I have seen some pretty outrageous rituals in the rehearsal room during my time as an actor. It seems that during every step along the way from casting to opening night, the actor has something to keep them, and the production, safe. Don't speak the name of this play. Don't wish each other 'good luck'. Did someone remember to turn on the Ghost Light? With all of these superstitions aside, no amount of good luck can prepare a cast for the unavoidable. In the situation of Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare, which is now playing at the Davis Square Theatre and features one heavily intoxicated cast member surrounded by a troupe of sober actors, the hilarity lives when everything goes horribly wrong.

BWW Review: Make Merry With Tir Na's RETURN OF THE WINEMAKER
RETURN OF THE WINEMAKER: AN IRISH CHRISTMAS COMEDY is a gift of the season from Tir Na Productions. An absurd little dark comedy about the second coming of Jesus, it's not your traditional Christmas show, but it boasts terrific performances by Derry Woodhouse, Colin Hamell, Stephen Russell, and Nancy E. Carroll, under the direction of Carmel O'Reilly. Singing, dancing, and freely flowing libations are crucial to playwright Bernard McMullan's story and you will definitely leave the Davis Square Theatre feeling merry.

BWW Review: SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING: Women's War Stories
Playwright Katori Hall's lively play about seven African-American women awaiting the end of World War II in a Memphis beauty parlor/boarding house shows a slice of life with authenticity, empathy, and humor.

Lyric Stage's SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING Cast, Creative Team Announced
In the tradition of the moving Intimate Apparel and hilarious By the Way, Meet Vera Stark, Saturday Night/Sunday Morning is a 'fresh, spontaneous, and highly watchable'* play that brings together seven African-American women in a Memphis beauty parlor/boarding house during the waning days of World War II. As they wrestle with the uncertainty of what the future will hold when, and if, their men return, they fight dirty - with each other and with their own fears and desires, uncovering newfound friendship and love. Katori Hall is an exciting new theatrical voice best known for her play The Mountaintop, about Martin Luther King, Jr.'s final night before his assassination.

BWW Reviews: Origin of the Species, or How Did Humpty Dumpty Hatch?
'Winter Panto 2012: The Half-Baked & Hard-to-Swallow History of Humpty Dumpty, Or, One Egg is Enough' is imaginary beasts' first foray to Boston following nine years of developing accessible theatre for the North Shore community. Think Fractured Fairy Tales meets Dr. Seuss, and you've got a pretty good idea of what is on the bill of fare in 'Humpty Dumpty' in the Plaza Black Box Theatre at The Boston Center for the Arts.
