Review: THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY at The Forum Theatre
With its engaging and sentimental tale of “forbidden-love-that-could-of-been,” Robert James Walker’s 1992 best-selling novel, The Bridges of Madison County, was made into a 1995 successful movie of the same title starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. After the success of that motion picture, book writer Marsha Norman teamed up with composer Jason Robert Brown to create the 2014 Broadway musical. Wichita audiences now have the opportunity to hear that luscious score performed once more.

Review: THE SHADOW BOX at Guild Hall Theatre
Michael Cristofer’s 1977 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama The Shadow Box concerns a grim topic that all of us will one day face. Wildly successful on its release, it won the Tony Award for Best Play. But for all its success, oddly enough, it has rarely been produced since the 1980s. The play tackles the universal themes of loss, fear, and human attachment. Guild Hall Players mounts a heartbreaking and emotional production of The Shadow Box and succeeds in tackling this demanding piece of theatre.
