STRIKING BEAUTY to Bring Politcal Satire to KC Fringe This Weekend
by BWW News Desk - July 28, 2017
The artists have had it and are going on strike! Trouble is, they get the attention of The Man himself (via Twitter, of course) and it becomes a game of one-upmanship as they struggle to define the role of art and artists. The strike quickly generates a Tweet storm of surprising proportion.

BWW Review: BREAKNECK JULIUS CAESAR at 2017 KC Fringe Festival
by Alan Portner - July 28, 2017
Holding an audience on a stage by yourself for a whole hour is no small task, but it is one accomplished by Buffalo Grove Illinois' Tim Mooney in his remarkably cogent performance of 'Breakneck Julius Caesar' at the Unicorn Theatre's Jerome Stage as his contribution to the 2017 Fringe. Tim Mooney is a repeat offender at Fringe and he is always excellent.

BWW Review: YIDDISH WITH DICK AND JANE at 2017 KC Fringe Festival
by Alan Portner - July 26, 2017
As part of the 2017 KC Fringe, 'Yiddish With Dick And Jane' is worth seeing at the Arts Asylum close to downtown. Although just about anyone can enjoy this one, it says something about age when one realizes his own education falls after the McGuffey Reader period and smack in the middle of 'Reading with Dick and Jane' years.

BWW Review: SOMETHING ROTTEN at Starlight Theatre
by Alan Portner - July 26, 2017
Dust off your willing suspension of disbelief. Starlight Theatre transforms into Elizabethan London in the year 1595. The play is 'Something Rotten.' William Shakespeare has not authored his 38 famous plays and 150 sonnets. By masquerading as patron to the struggling Bottom Brothers from Cornwall, the Bard has purloined their ideas and most of their dialog lock, stock, and couplet.

Imagine transitional rock superstars Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis hanging out together for an impromptu recording session early in their musical careers. This is the unlikely, but mostly true tale told by the new production of the 2010 Broadway musical 'Million Dollar Quartet' now opened at the New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park.
