Jackie Evancho Comes to Morrison Center This June
by BWW News Desk - November 17, 2017
A worldwide sensation when she was only ten years old, Jackie Evancho is moving past the exuberant promise of a child prodigy vocalist, toward maturity as a singer, as a creative artist and as a young woman. Fresh from her spotlight performance of the National Anthem at the Presidential inauguration in January, she seizes the moment with the release of Two Hearts, the album not only features popular hits both old and new, and classical crossover Italian songs, but also Jackie's emerging gifts as a collaborative songwriter. With the release of Two Hearts, the amazing journey of Jackie Evancho reaches an exciting new place, both creatively and personally. The album's title says a lot about growth: Jackie's heart is always in the classical crossover singing her fans love, but she is discovering another facet of her work, her range and, thus, her heart - a love of songwriting and a new, expressive pop sound. Jackie Evancho's meteoric rise is already a show business legend. YouTube video stardom led to her spectacular, against-the-odds appearance on America's Got Talent in 2010 that delivered the heat and the promise of a new star, in a luminous performance of the beloved Puccini aria 'O mio babbino caro.' Her breakthrough was transformed quickly into the basis for a serious career. In less than a decade, Jackie has made seven chart-topping albums and DVDs, headlined three PBS television specials, appeared in the film The Company We Keep at the request of her co-star Robert Redford, and tirelessly toured the world, singing for Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, other world leaders and her fans everywhere. In addition to her solo success, Jackie has recorded duets with such notable artists as Tony Bennett, Susan Boyle, Il Volo, Pl cido Domingo, Barbra Streisand, Chris Botti, The Tenors and Joshua Bell.

BWW Review: HEDDATRON at Theater Arts Department Boise State
by Leesa Williams - November 14, 2017
Let me start off by saying that Heddatron is not a show that most community theaters would choose for a regular season. It is an Absurdist drama that would have a hard time attracting a general audience. Nevertheless, it is a mesmerizing piece of drama with some unique facets that make it an engaging drama for enthusiasts of theatre. First produced in 2005, it's defining characteristic is the use of 'functioning robots' or at least the semblance of such.

BWW Review: Ken Ludwig's BASKERVILLE A SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY at Stage Coach Theater
by Leesa Williams - October 31, 2017
BASKERVILLE: A SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY at Stage Coach Theatre directed by Curtis Ransom is a fast-paced comedy revolving around the famous detective and a curious mystery. A cast of five actors tell the tale that involves more than 40 different characters. Sherlock and the ever present side-kick, Dr. Watson, are played by Diana Holdridge and Don VanPraag. It is a bold choice to gender bend a beloved character like Sherlock, but Ransom made an excellent pick because Holdridge is strong as the title character. Her characterization is terrific in all parts and the know-it-all is still likeable and brilliant. VanPraag found just the right element of the 'straight-man' in this quirky comedy as the bulk of the action revolves around Dr. Watson's presence and he also plays the narrator from time to time.
