BWW Reviews: THE GREAT GOD PAN is a Moving and Compassionate Examination of a Sensitive Topic
by Frank Benge - April 06, 2015
We have all experienced our parents relating something from our childhood of which we have no memory. In fact, if we examine it, the things we don't remember probably are greater than the things we do. In THE GREAT GOD PAN, a new play by Amy Herzog, produced by Street Corner Arts, now in its regional premiere at Hyde Park Theatre, the cloudy areas of memory become a downward spiral for Jamie, an budding journalist who finds his life disintegrating before him when a surprise visit from a friend from his childhood reveals disturbing facts of his past.

BWW Reviews: JACOB'S LADDER Delivers an Important Message With Wit, Style and Panache
by Frank Benge - March 30, 2015
Jacob's Ladder is described in the Book of Genesis as a staircase to heaven that the biblical Patriarch Jacob dreamed about during his flight from his brother Esau. It is often used as an analogy for the spiritual ascetic of life. JACOB'S LADDER, a new play by Dennis Bailey & David Mixner, now in its World Premiere staging by Theatre en Bloc, tells the story of a hero, also named Jacob, who's not born but cornered as he wrestles with the idea that all evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

BWW Reviews: JERSEY BOYS - An Electrifying Entertaining Evening
by Frank Benge - March 27, 2015
The 60's were an exciting time for music in America, due in no small part to the proliferation of groups with amazing vocal harmonies like The Mamas & Papas, The Beach Boys, Spanky & Our Gang and The Four Seasons. JERSEY BOYS is a jukebox musical based on the song catalog of The Four Seasons; however, unlike most jukebox musicals, JERSEY BOYS features an intelligent script where the songs flow with the story instead of being forced into a storyline. I suspect the participation of Rick Elice, who was also one of the scriptwriters for the charming and witty PETER AND THE STARCATCHER had more than a little to do with the intelligence and theatrical storytelling skill on display here.

BWW Reviews: CHARLEY'S AUNT Plagued by Pacing Problems
by Frank Benge - March 24, 2015
By definition, a farce is a light theatrical work in which highly improbable plot situations, exaggerated characters, and slapstick are used for humorous effect. Brandon Thomas's play CHARLEY'S AUNT (1892) is a classic example of farce. Farce requires a certain level of comic timing. In farce, the humor comes from rapid speech and rapid movement… people running into and out of rooms at breakneck speed and managing to cause havoc in the process. An example of this style done to perfection was the BBC series FAWLTY TOWERS. Another meaning for the word farce is a seasoned stuffing, as for roasted turkey.
