BWW Interviews: Cathy Sanborn Street, A Life in the Theatre
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 27, 2010
While she obviously spends a lot of time working on the administrative requirements of running a theatre company in Nashville, she also finds time to display her many talents onstage. Most recently, she starred in the company's critically acclaimed (which means I really liked it) production of The Great American Trailer Park Musical. And somehow, in the aftermath of that show and amid all the hubbub of the holiday season, Cathy found time to sit down and respond to our questions. This week, then, she is in the spotlight for 'A Life in the Theatre.' Enjoy!

MOON OVER BUFFALO opens 2010 season at Towne Centre Theatre
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 26, 2010
Ludwig's play focuses on the lives of George and Charlotte Hay, itinerant actors performing Cyrano de Bergerac and Private Lives in repertory during the heyday of the 1953 theatre season in Buffalo, New York. Charlotte dreams of becoming a Hollywood star, while George is happy on the stage, considering live theatre far superior to film. But when word comes that famous Hollywood director Frank Capra is coming to give George one last shot at film stardom, all manner of hilarity ensues as miscommunication runs rampant backstage - and onstage.
BWW Reviews: THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK at Nashville Children's Theatre
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 24, 2010
How important then is this play - now onstage at Nashville Children's Theatre in a stunning production helmed by NCT producing director Scot Copeland - designed for younger audiences? Frankly, its impact is immeasurable, but it most certainly presents the story of young diarist Anne Frank in such a way that younger audiences should never be able to forget the Holocaust, nor should they ever question the reality of those dark days in the human experience.

BWW Reviews: SIGNS OF A NEW DAY at Z. Alexander Looby Theatre
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 23, 2010
Signs of a New Day is not a perfect play, by many measures, but the fact that it focuses on Looby - whose name almost every Nashvillian most certainly knows, but someone about whom they know precious little - elevates it to near-perfection. Thanks to German's extensive research and dedication to detail, coupled with her dramatist's keen eye and ear for what works onstage, the play gives Looby and his wife, Grafta Mosby Looby, the attention they so richly deserve. It is a moving work that challenges its audiences to continue the noble work of the Loobys and all of their contemporaries who risked their lives and livelihoods so that we all might live in a more just and equitable society.

BWW Review: THE 101 DALMATIANS MUSICAL at Tennessee Performing Arts Center
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 22, 2010
You don't have to be a dog lover to enjoy The 101 Dalmatians Musical, but it doesn't hurt! Now onstage at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Andrew Jackson Hall, the national touring company of the musical by Dennis DeYoung and BT McNicholl delivers a production that is pleasantly diverting, tuneful and fun to watch. Add those adorable doggies to the mix and it just adds to the fun you have during the two hours you're caught up in Dodie Smith's story of animals and 'their pets,' starring the gloriously over-the-top Rachel York as Cruella DeVil.
SIGNS OF A NEW DAY Plays Looby Theatre, 1/22 - 2/6
by BWW News Desk - January 22, 2010
That serendipitous encounter with Looby's photograph and the accompanying marker in the lobby of the community center/public library/theatre complex that bears his name, led German to further research which 'fired [her] up,' and has now, in turn, led to Signs of a New Day: The Z. Alexander Looby Story, her new play set for its world premiere Friday night in a production by Amun Ra Theatre, presented in the theatre that bears Looby's name, and continuing through February 6.
BWW Interviews: Bill Feehely, A Life in the Theatre
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 21, 2010
As co-founder of Actors Bridge Ensemble, Bill Feehely has been responsible for bringing to Nashville audiences some of their most provocative theatre experiences as well as ushering some of the city's most noteworthy world premieres to the stage. Earlier this season, he was the narrator for Actors Bridge's staged reading of The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later, and next month he'll star in the company's collaboration with Belmont University Theatre on a new production of Arthur Miller's All My Sons.
BWW Reviews: THE TEMPEST by Nashville Shakespeare Festival
by Jeffrey Ellis - January 21, 2010
Although both Russell and Hicks are clearly at the top of their game with their exquisite performances, - honed from years of experience in the theatre and underscored by their shared joie de vivre and their obvious understanding of the text - the rest of the ensemble are an uneven lot of veterans and neophytes and those in between. While there are moments of bliss to be found in the production, glimmers of the promise that is surely to be found, there remains a lack of passion and what results is a didactic presentation that fails to inspire.
