by BWW News Desk - February 14, 2009
Dallas Children's Theater proudly presents John Steptoe's, MUFARO'S BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS, a gorgeous Caldecott Award winning Cinderella tale that celebrates goodness, generosity, love and traditional African song. Adapted for the stage by Karen Abbott, MUFARO'S BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS is part of the Discovery Theater Series for Families at PlayhouseSquare. When a great African king desires a wife, only the most perfect maidens in the land are invited to meet him. Mufaro, a dignified and caring African villager, has two beautiful daughters. When he leaves for the hunt and the sisters are alone, Manyara is always angry, while Nyasha is positive and kind. Chenzira, a messenger, brings word that the Great King is inviting all of the 'Most Worthy and Beautiful Daughters in the Land to appear before him' so that he might choose his Queen. Mufaro is very pleased that both of his daughters should be selected and agrees to accompany them at sunrise. That night, Manyara, believing herself better and prettier than her sister, sets out alone so that she can be presented to the king first. What will happen to each girl as she responds to hooting owls, enchanted trees laughing and the other strange beings she encounters along the way? DCT's Executive Artistic Director and director of the play, Robyn Flatt, states, 'This wonderful folktale celebrates virtue and kindness of the heart. Its ethical lesson is simple yet powerful: ?as you sow so shall you reap', or as a hungry beggar in the play says, ?pretty is as pretty does'.'

Lyric Stage's CABARET '09 Fundraising Event Presented On 2/7
by BWW News Desk - February 07, 2009
On February 7, 2009, the Lyric Stage League presents CABARET '09: THE LEGENDARY DAYS OF LAS VEGAS, the annual fund-raising event for Lyric Stage. Marilyn Maye, fresh from her latest New York City triumph, will headline this year's gala at the beautiful Four Seasons Resort and Club. Billy Stritch, direct from his engagement with Liza Minnelli on Broadway at the Palace Theater, will accompany Ms. Maye. Call 972-594-1904 for tickets or more info. Marilyn Maye was one of the brightest lights of television, supper clubs and the recording industry during the 1960's. She became a fixture on THE TONIGHT SHOW with Steve Allen and Johnny Carson and enjoyed a great recording career with RCA. After an absence of over 15 years, she made a triumphant return to New York City last fall. THE NEW YORK OBSERVER's Rex Reed proclaimed 'This woman has everything. She can belt, and she can sing ballads with the kind of warmth that makes your heart smile. She has a theatrical flair that captivates and enthralls, and jazz-spiced chops that can reach notes most singers one-third her age can't even hit in their dreams. The standing ovations were unlike anything I've seen since the halcyon days of Lena Horne at the Waldorf. She's the real deal.'

Last Chance To Catch A Simultaneous Dose Of Shakespeare
by Gabrielle Sierra - February 05, 2009
LAST CHANCE TO SEE Hamlet and Rosencrantz and Guilenstern Are Dead Our most ambitious endeavor to date is proving a success. Taking two of the most challenging plays in the English Language and performing them SIMULTANEOUSLY between our two intimate theaters utilizing the same cast. Casting some of the best local talent with fresh perspectives on these classics, both of these shows are strong in their own right. Many are commenting about Hamlet's unique spiritual insight with this production, and of course the interaction between the two stages with multi-media, sword fights and swinging from ropes in addition to the actors entrances and exits makes this a once in a lifetime experience. Critics and audiences agree that this event pushes the boundaries of live theater in a way never before seen, and after this weekend it will be gone.

Taking two of the most challenging plays in the English Language and performing them SIMULTANEOUSLY between our two intimate theaters utilizing the same cast. Casting some of the best local talent with fresh perspectives on these classics, both of these shows are strong in their own right. Many are commenting about Hamlet's unique spiritual insight with this production, and of course the interaction between the two stages with multi-media, sword fights and swinging from ropes in addition to the actors entrances and exits makes this a once in a lifetime experience.
