by Nancy Grossman - January 23, 2019
You might go home hungry, but you'll have your fill of belly laughs at Wendy MacLeod's SLOW FOOD now having its World Premiere at Merrimack Repertory Theatre in Lowell. We've all been there, sitting in a restaurant, starving, and waiting what seems like eons before the waiter sashays over to introduce himself. "Hello, I'm Bryce - like the Canyon - and I'll be taking care of you." This is the premise and the situation for the couple having a bad first day on their anniversary trip to Palm Springs. Their gratification is seriously delayed, but we get 95 minutes of delicious comedy.

LEFTOVERS: PTSD Musical Premieres At Fort Point Theater Channel
by BWW News Desk - January 20, 2019
LEFTOVERS, a full-length play with music, will premiere as part of Fort Point Theater Channel's Senses Performance Series, Sunday January 27th at 7pm. LEFTOVERS explores the physical and psychological impact of PTSD, conveying the pain, the losses and ultimately the gifts of transformation that stem from trauma. Rather than a chronological accurate sequence of events, the play illustrates how trauma is actually experienced: in intricate nonlinear tapestries of sounds, images and sensations. The playwright, Amy Oestreicher, wrote LEFTOVERS based on her own story of waking up from a coma after months of keeping a secret of sexual abuse from her family. Oestreicher has given three TEDx Talks on transforming trauma into creative growth through the power of theatre, and has toured the country with her own one-woman autobiographical musical, Gutless & Grateful. Her book, My Beautiful Detour, is now available for preorder.

BWW Review: HEARTLAND: What's Going On?
by Nancy Grossman - January 20, 2019
HEARTLAND conjures up an image of amber waves of grain and purple mountains majesties. For the part of it that is set in Nebraska, some of that may be appropriate. However, for the portion of it that is set in Afghanistan, it may be nothing more than a mirage. Likewise, the image of the United States as a land of exceptionalism and the world's moral authority would receive far more acceptance in the heartland than in that faraway, war-torn country that has been intertwined with ours for decades. Playwright Gabriel Jason Dean holds a mirror up to the face of US involvement with Afghanistan from the time of Russia's occupation, exploring a myriad of questions about responsibility, complicity, transparency, and morality, and the unintended consequences that always follow from even the most noble efforts.
