Buntport Theater to Present 10 MYTHS ON THE PROPER APPLICATION OF BEAUTY PRODUCTS
by BWW News Desk - January 19, 2016
10 Myths on the Proper Application of Beauty Products, the first full-length show of Buntport's 15th Season, could be called an adaptation of local author Miriam Suzanne's novel Riding SideSaddle*. However, it is more like a supplement to the novel, which is printed on 250 interchangeable index cards and is an 'open source' text, meant to be added to, adapted, morphed into something new. Following a group of friends that resist order, category and completion, this play weaves myth and storytelling with every day rituals. It is about people deeply in love, suffering loss, celebrating strangeness, all while they pluck their eyebrows. It is about the Greek myth of Salmacis and Hermaphroditus, who are merged into 'one being of both sexes' and about what we see when we look in the mirror. Oh, and the whole thing is underscored by a band standing in the bathtub.

BWW Review: Inspire Creative's MARY POPPINS Comes Together in a Delightful Way
by Christi Esterle - January 18, 2016
Mary Poppins is a very technologically intensive show, and like a lot of such works, it's easy to forget that there is more to it than the theatrical bells and whistles. So it's nice to see a production like the one currently playing at the PACE Center which, if it's occasionally a letdown on the visual front (the facade of the Banks family house lacks some of the bourgeois charm of the film, and the projected backdrops are a mixed bag), fully delivers on the heart of the story.
BWW Review: FAC's BUYER & CELLAR and the Allure of Celebrity
by Christi Esterle - January 17, 2016
The opening night performance of Fine Arts Center's Buyer & Cellar comes at the conclusion of a week that saw several public figures pass from this life, including iconic performers David Bowie and Alan Rickman. For the past several days, social media has been filled with people expressing sorrow and fond memories for people that, in the most part, they had never actually met. Such is the power of celebrity, to create the illusion of connection and intimacy with a remote star.
BWW Review: THE BIG BANG at Spotlight Theatre Company
by Chris Arneson - January 15, 2016
You take your seat as a man in a vest and untucked shirt offers you fancy grapes (grah-pays) on a skewer. You're about to catch a performance of a multi-million dollar show--kinda. Only it's in the apartment of a vacationing proctologist, and the writers haven't really put that much money into it yet.
