BWW Review: MOTHERS AND SONS from Pandora Productions - Calm And Specific Truth
by Keith Waits - November 21, 2016
Playwright Terrance McNally has written some of the best plays and musicals of the last few decades, including Love, Valour, Compassion!and Ragtime. Most of his works have a piece of his life as a member of the LBGTQ community tied within the story. His Mothers and Sons, derived from his 10-minute play Andre's Mother, is firmly planted in themes that still haunt the community to this very day: the AIDS epidemic, equality, sorrow, acceptance, and happiness.

BWW Review: KING LEAR at University Of Louisville - Budding Among The Ruins
by Keith Waits - November 14, 2016
As a character, King Lear is the great aging lion, one of what Charlton Heston called the 'man killers' of Shakespeare, and a play that examines the hubris and arrogance in power held too long. In an unusual collaboration, Commonwealth Theatre Center (CTC) and University of Louisville Theatre Arts are co-producing this production, which mixes faculty and students from both institutions among its cast and crew.

Pandora Productions to Present Terrence McNally's MOTHERS & SONS
by BWW News Desk - November 10, 2016
Pandora Productions continues the 2016-2017 season with the 2014 Tony Award nominee for Best Play: MOTHERS AND SONS. Arguably the most prolific playwright on LGBTQ issues, Terrence McNally, writes a dense and complicated story of a grieving mother, stuck in the past at the moment her son died from complications of AIDS. With a reputation of telling stories of the LBGTQ community with dignity, who else but Pandora could bring such a thought provoking play to the stage?

BWW Review: KIN at Eve Theatre Company
by Keith Waits - November 08, 2016
Eve Theater Company opens its fifth season with Bathsheba Doran's play Kin. Year five always seems to be a milepost: a time for a company to take stock of itself and others. So I would note that this production seems to represent an important moment of maturity and ambition for Eve. It reaches for a subtlety and emotional range greater than most of their previous efforts. The company's mission of a focus on women led to early productions that featured small groups of women hermetically observed: aging prostitutes on a shared bench, or friends moving through marriage and divorces through the years. Most were casts of only women.

Take a look at the Hopcrofts; shiny new gadgets and money for a remodel; the Jacksons, not-too-tidy and a filthy oven; and the Brewster-Wrights with aging decor, broken boiler, and a total lack of heat.
