BWW Review: CLYBOURNE PARK at The Liminal Playhouse
by Keith Waits - November 06, 2017
I have watched some plays that were awarded the Pulitzer Prize and wondered, 'was this REALLY the best American play of the year?' Watching this production of Bruce Norris' Clybourne Park that thought never entered my mind. This is a play for which the word 'great' is fully justified, a reading of the American character in the last two generations destined to stand as a landmark for theatre in this country.

BWW Review: CAREFULLY TAUGHT at Looking For Lilith
by Keith Waits - November 06, 2017
The words 'carefully taught', drawn from a song in Rogers & Hammerstein's South Pacific, promise artistic green vegetables, an edifying moral lesson about the origins of racial prejudice in American society. Cheryl L. Davis's play contains exactly such a lesson, but it is wrapped in an equally edifying story complex enough to promise something other than simpleminded answers.

BWW Review: FINDING NEVERLAND NATIONAL TOUR at Broadway In Louisville
by Keith Waits - October 30, 2017
Most of us have grown up with the story of Peter Pan; the story of a young boy who can fly, who never grows up and lives in Neverland, which can be found at the second star to the right. We heard it as a bedtime story, or enjoyed seeing Walt Disney bring the story to animated life, or even, if we were lucky, got to see it performed live on stage with actors flying about the audience. It is a magical story to be sure, one that has transcended time and elicits memories of a simpler time.

BWW Review: THE CRUCIBLE at Commonwealth Theatre Center
by Keith Waits - October 23, 2017
Arthur Miller's The Crucible, written as a parable for a specific time, seems to strike such a deep and resonant chord that its themes are universal and always relevant. The historical setting is Salem, Massachusetts and the infamous 18th-century witch trials, but Miller had the 1947 House Un-American Activities Committee on his mind.

BWW Review: THEATRE [502] at The Fairy Tale Lives Of Russian Girls
by Keith Waits - October 23, 2017
In a far off land there exists a world of magical witches and angry bears, a world where girls roam the country to find themselves and grow into women.
