BEAU JEST Director's Notes

Beau Jest has been one of my favorite plays since I performed the role of Miriam at Silver Spring Stage years ago. The plot touches on family values, on the relationships of parents and children to one another, on the maturing of a young woman, on the way choices are made, on the complexity of love ebbing and flowing -- all in a charming, fun-filled three-act comedy. The people are real. You probably know a mother and father like Miriam and Abe, whatever their religious or ethnic roots. Joel-the-shrink could be your cousin. Your good friends might have experienced a situation similar to the Chris-Sarah-Bob one -- probably without the "rent-a-beau" complexity. James Sherman has made us face these much-ados with laughter and thought. Relax and enjoy the antics of Beau Jest.

Review: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD at Hippodrome Theatre
What did our critic think of TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD at Hippodrome Theatre? Chances are, if you're a product of the American education system, you read Harper Lee's 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, in high school or college. And if you didn't, you've likely seen the 1962 film of the same name featuring Gregory Peck in perhaps his most famed role, lawyer and bastion of decency, Atticus Finch. The plot involving Atticus and his children, Scout and Jem, is in some ways, quite 'straightforward.' Atticus is asked to represent Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. It's deep South, Alabama, 1934. It's not going to end well. However, it's what happens along the way, and afterwards, that makes this novel so worth reading, and this play, so worth watching.
