BWW Reviews: BOEING-BOEING Brings Polished Performances and Stylish Seasonal Fun to Chaffin's Barn
by Jeffrey Ellis - December 04, 2011
Truth be told, seeing Martha Wilkinson in a black pageboy wig while she delivers a wonderfully droll comic character performance might be worth the price of a ticket to Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre's revival of Boeing-Boeing, the Marc Camoletti farce (adapted by Beverly Cross) under the direction of Charles Burr that is running throughout the month of December. But Wilkinson's superb performance notwithstanding, there's much more to love about the show.

Mel O'Drama Presents A CHRISTMAS CAROL...MORE OR LESS, 12/3-16
by BWW News Desk - December 03, 2011
Sarah and Charlie, a married couple, run a small theater that's presenting A Christmas Carol -- until Charlie shows up backstage to say the cast and crew are snowed out. They actually manage to perform much of the play, with their personal story invading the Dickens tale, infusing it with dual levels of meaning. This is a family-friendly show, and a great way to spend the holiday with your family.

BWW Reviews: MTSU's Burgeoning Dance Program Shows Growth in Fall Dance Concert
by Jeffrey Ellis - December 02, 2011
Dance-the quality of performance, the merits of the performers, the creativity of the choreographers-at Middle Tennessee State University has certainly improved since the last time I reviewed the fall dance concert at MTSU. Of course, it was 32 years ago and the dance program at the university has grown by leaps and bounds.

BWW Reviews: Actors Point Theatre Company Debuts With A CHRISTMAS CAROL
by Jeffrey Ellis - December 02, 2011
With a plethora of theater productions of A Christmas Carol filling local stages throughout December, you'd be hard-pressed to not find yourself in the audience of one of those productions.

BWW Reviews: Stellar Performances and Skillful Direction Highlight OLIVER! at Boiler Room Theatre
by Jeffrey Ellis - November 23, 2011
Under the sure-handed direction of Morton, who has brought together an impressive cast of adult actors with two different casts of youngsters, the whole of Oliver! is remarkable, a thoroughly delightful evening of theater that allows those older thespians to show off their talents while showcasing the budding talents of her younger charges, who display stage presence and focus throughout the tune-filled musical. In fact, it is Morton's skilled and practiced eye in regards to casting that really sets this Oliver! apart from any of the others we've seen. Frankly, the woman knows what she's doing.

by Jeffrey Ellis - November 21, 2011
Directed by David Alford, who certainly knows his way around the breakroom (what with his own experiences playing Crumpet the elf, Sedaris' velvet smock/candy can tights-wearing doppelganger), The Santaland Diaries is the perfect seasonal antidote for the countless, treacly-sweet productions of A Christmas Carol that will dominate the Nashville theatrical landscape over the coming weeks.
