BWW Review: A CHORUS LINE at Mind's Eye Theatre Company
by Keith Waits - February 27, 2018
A Chorus Line seems like catnip for any local company with a taste for musicals. It is a classic that has achieved iconic status in the years since its Broadway premiere in 1976; moreover, it is not only a show about show business but about the people who live for it: the gypsy dancers who show up in the hundreds for each cattle call audition, hoping to land a job in the chorus line.

BWW Review: MOON OVER BUFFALO at Theatreworks Of Southern Indiana
by Keith Waits - February 12, 2018
Ken Ludwig's Moon Over Buffalo is the kind of well-constructed, old-fashion farce that has been a mainstay of community theaters for generations, yet it was written in the early 1990's. Set in 1953, it captures the struggle in desperation of a second-rate repertory company touring mid-range towns with a reliable mix of the classics: Shakespeare and Cyrano de Bergerac, with slightly more modern comedies like Noel Coward.

BWW Review: THE TROJAN WOMEN at Commonwealth Theatre Center
by Keith Waits - February 05, 2018
There is an idea that Ancient Greece was an exemplary society. Even though they did build the foundation of western civilization and democratic ideals, especially when it comes to theatre. Yet the subjects of the plays are often war and it's devastating effects on humanity. This Commonwealth Theatre Center production of Euripides' The Trojan Women makes the point that the cruel, brutality of such conflict has always been, and will always be, a part of the human experience. It seems, tragic but inevitable.

BWW Review: DOUBLE V/DERBY MINE 4 at Kentucky Black Repertory Theatre
by Keith Waits - February 05, 2018
Derby Mine 4 starts out with a pair of coal miners trapped underground after a methane explosion. Becky (Megan Adair) is a new employee, under the watchful eye of Dan (Casey Moulton), a youthful but prolific member of the industry. Their interaction quickly shows that Dan is a playful and aggressive flirt, who makes unwanted, advances towards Becky, who reacts with distaste and rancor. It is later revealed that Becky is something of a bigot, who makes unsavory remarks about people of color, and Dan is ironically liberal in his views of society. This uncomfortable setting leads to animated discourse, which is both unsettling and humorous.

BWW Review: THE HONEY HARVEST at Little Colonel Playhouse
by Keith Waits - January 22, 2018
The Honey Harvest is a modest, heartfelt exploration of time and family. Melissa Holt (Megan Kubac) has moved back home to care for her widowed father, John (John Lina) as he suffers the advanced stages of Alzheimer's. One generation coming to grips with the diminished capacity of a parent is not an unusual story, but it will always remain relevant.
