STAGE TUBE: Behind the Scenes of Guthrie Theatre's BORN YESTERDAY
by Christina Mancuso - November 27, 2013
John Miller-Stephany talks with Guthrie Artistic Director about Garson Kanin's classic comedy 'Born Yesterday.' Garson Kanin had a golden career spanning more than 60 years with credits including Tracy and Hepburn classics 'Adam's Rib' and 'Pat and Mike.' Harry Brock, a junk-dealer millionaire on the rise, heads to Washington with his chorus girl girlfriend Billie Dawn in tow, hoping to influence a senator in some personal business dealings. But he soon gets advice suggesting that his seemingly dim-witted blonde will need a little polish to get ahead in D.C. society. Brock hires a newspaperman for the task but gets more than he bargained for when, in a deliriously funny turn of events, he discovers a little bit of learning can be a dangerous thing! Check out the video below!

BWW Reviews: Walking Shadow Theatre Company's THE SEXUAL LIFE OF SAVAGES is Sexual Indeed
by Noah Lee Jordan - November 26, 2013
I'm not one to talk numbers. I never have been nor will I ever be willing to discuss the number of conquests and how it relates to overall sexual prowess. I only mention this because it's a typically cold, Minnesota evening when I see Walking Theatre Company's production of THE SEXUAL LIFE OF SAVAGES, and the two-hour production begins with the very question, 'what's your number?'

BWW Reviews: Mysterious, Witty and All-Around Engaging - TRP's SPIDER'S WEB
by Noah Lee Jordan - November 18, 2013
Agatha Christie's SPIDER'S WEB is a regular whodunit mystery. It's smart. It's humorous. And it always keeps you guessing. Instead of the expected holiday-focused production Theatre in the Round Players is offering up a little something different this season and I am more than happy to accept.
