BWW Review: AFTERLOVES: LOVE LIVES IN THE AFTERLIFE at The Bard's Town
by Keith Waits - February 20, 2019
There are many thoughts about life after death, most tied to one organized religion or another, but there is one less denominational fantasy afterlife...let's call it the Hollywood version, in which flights of literary fancy that violate most of the rules of Heaven are always possible.

BWW Review: THE GREEN BOOK at Bunbury Theatre
by Keith Waits - February 14, 2019
No, it's not the movie. Nor is it the basis of the movie. But if the movie prompts you to check out this play, then everybody wins.

Two teenage boys who've just graduated from high school Will, a social outcast keeps his distance from people and Mike, the sports star and big man on campus, who despite having a girlfriend inexplicably finds himself attracted to Will on Mike's suggestion that they hang out they explore a relationship during a summer of self-discovery.
59th Annual Kentucky Shakespeare Festival Comes to Central Park
by BWW News Desk - February 10, 2019
Kentucky Shakespeare kicks off its 59th annual free Kentucky Shakespeare Festival in Central Park with a comedy, a history, and a tragedy. The season begins with their professional productions of As You Like It May 29th, then Henry IV, Part II June 13th, followed by King Lear on June 27th. July 9th-21st all three performances will be presented in repertory. The season will be dedicated to the late Bekki Jo Schneider, former Producer of Kentucky Shakespeare and founder Doug Ramey's immediate successor. Last year we lost our dear friend Bekki Jo. She was instrumental in helping make the company what it is today, not only during her tenure here as an actor and leader but for years after as a mentor to me and to so many others in our community. We dedicate this season to her as we celebrate her life and legacy, said Matt Wallace, Producing Artistic Director.
BWW Review: HERSHEY FELDER AS IRVING BERLIN at Actors Theatre Of Louisville
by Keith Waits - February 04, 2019
It is difficult to fully appreciate the volume and quality of songs written by Irving Berlin in your head at one moment. Most of us over a certain age know several, but we might not always connect each one to Berlin. We always know he was responsible for 'White Christmas', of course, and 'God Bless America', but you might only know that 'I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm' was written by one of those names...Cole Porter perhaps, or Jerome Kern.
BWW Review: ALMOST, MAINE at Commonwealth Theatre Center
by Keith Waits - January 30, 2019
In his program notes for this production, director Charlie Sexton states, 'Sometimes we need a night of theatre where pretense, deep subtext and the desire to change the world is stripped away...' While I can understand how John Cariani's play fits the bill, I think there is still a few moments that speak to the darker complications of human relationships, even if it is charm that carries the day.
Carnegie Gears Up For SWING! Last Production Of 2018-19 Season
by BWW News Desk - January 29, 2019
High energy beats and fast-paced dance moves are hallmarks of swing music, which exploded out of pre-war Harlem's hotbed of youth culture and became a worldwide phenomenon. The genre crossed racial and cultural barriers to bring us popular dances like the Lindy Hop, the Jive, and more.

BWW Review: SOMETHING ROTTEN! at Broadway In Louisville
by Keith Waits - January 18, 2019
Something Rotten! roared into town this week. And judging from the high-energy opening night, audiences won't be lifting their noses at this hybrid Shakespeare/Musical production. The title itself is a quotation from one of Shakespeare's best-known plays and includes the ubiquitous use of exclamation points in titles of musicals. Additionally, this particular quote points to some of the plot points in the storyline.

BWW Review: DADA WOOF PAPA HOT at Pandora Productions
by Keith Waits - January 15, 2019
Marriages fail for many reasons, or perhaps, more often than not, it boils down to the fear that you have sacrificed something for that commitment, and you want another chance to get it back. And if you have children, the weight is much greater.
BWW Review: PIPELINE at Actors Theatre Of Louisville
by Keith Waits - January 15, 2019
If Actors Theatre were to make an annual tradition of producing the latest Dominique Morisseau play every January, it would be a reason to rejoice. One year after the indelible Skeleton Crew, director Steve H. Broadnax III, and actor Patrese D. McClain have returned with Pipeline, an even stronger play that implodes the narrative cliches that have weighed down African American stories for generations.
