Grizz Grannies to Perform at Theatre Memphis
by BWW News Desk - August 17, 2015
Off season workouts apply to more than just the Memphis Grizzlies NBA team players. The Grizzlies Grannies and Grandpas are a group of about 30 men and women over 50 years of age who entertain during Grizzlies home games and their energy is infectious.

BWW Reviews: MOUNTAIN VIEW Offers a Pleasing Escape
by Joseph Baker - July 20, 2015
It's hard to reconcile the name of the title character in MOUNTAIN VIEW with that of its author. 'Jocate' seems a variation on Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' (when will Appalachian characters have names like 'Sue' or 'Nancy'?), while author 'Teri Feigelson' suggests a world entirely alien to cabins and mountain ledges. Yet, everything seems to come together in Playhouse on the Square's production of the winner of the 2013 NewWorks Playwriting Competition, currently being staged at TheatreWorks. In fact, with its gentle, wistful tone and incorporation of original, tonally related songs, MOUNTAIN VIEW evokes a film from some years ago, the little-seen but much-lauded SONGCATCHER, with turn-of-the-century musicologist Janet McTeer finding substance and artistry in Appalachian music (along with a romantic interlude with a hirsute Aidan Quinn in one of his last leading man roles). It even reminded me of (now nearly forgotten) Bobbie Gentry's concept album DELTA SWEETE, with the artist's songs depicting the characters and area she knew as a girl.

BWW Reviews: MOTOWN the Musical at Memphis Orpheum
by Caroline Sposto - July 16, 2015
I grew up on vinyl records, 'hit parades' and transistor radios tuned to the AM dial. I love Motown Music. But I felt skeptical about a breezy staged extravaganza about Berry Gordy's mercurial career. Five minutes into the opening medley, this stunning production won me over. This is NOT your assembly line jukebox musical!
