BWW Features: Lessac for You
by Caroline Sposto - January 19, 2015
Years ago, when I lived in Los Angeles, I knew a character actor who was a little paunchy, had an off-kilter face and thinning hair. Though his looks were unremarkable, he exuded a certain je ne sais quoi. When I teased him about his popularity with women, he gave me a conspiratorial wink and said, 'My voice is the sexiest part of my body.' I laughed because this was absolutely true!

BWW Reviews: Theatre Works Explores Why WE LIVE HERE
by Joseph Baker - January 05, 2015
I like the title of Harold Ellis Clark's WE LIVE HERE, winner of the NewWorks@TheWorks playwriting competition hosted by Playhouse on the Square and now playing at Theatre Works. If you emphasize the word WE, it offers two different interpretations: (1) It could refer to the racist white characters in the play, who don't relish the idea of ceding part of their predominately white neighborhood in Metarie to the black characters who have had the questionable luck of winning a post-Hurricane Katrina lottery; or (2) it could refer to the black characters themselves, who defiantly (and rightly) have planted their feet on new, if rocky, turf. In fact, any of the three words in the title could be emphasized and, consequently, offer a new facet inviting a different interpretation.
