Carolyn German's New Z. Alexander Looby Play Takes Shape for 2010 Opening
by Jeffrey Ellis - December 04, 2009
Like hundreds, maybe even thousands, of other Nashvillians before and since, Carolyn German would walk through the lobby of the Z. Alexander Looby Theatre, passing by the historical marker heralding Looby's role in Nashville history without really giving it much thought. Then one day, during a visit to the Looby Center in her role as director of theatre for Metro Nashville Parks, German stopped and read intently the information included on the plaque, learning that Looby was an attorney who played in a key role in Nashville's storied civil rights history.

REVIEW: 'The Last Night of Ballyhoo' at Boiler Room Theatre
by Jeffrey Ellis - December 03, 2009
In Europe, the Nazis had invaded Poland, in Washington, D.C. FDR was dealing with an isolationist Congress and people the world over worried about the possibility of a war to eclipse the horrors of The Great War. But in Atlanta, the Levys and the Freitags were more concerned, in the long-term, about marrying off their two daughters and, in the short-term, finding escorts for the two girls to the ball that serves as the climax to Ballyhoo, the South's preeminent social whirl for the region's more affluent Jews.

A Life in the Theatre: Brian Russell
by Jeffrey Ellis - December 01, 2009
The Nashville-based actor is always onstage, getting ready to onstage, recovering from being onstage - well, you get the drift - Brian Russell works a lot. During his tenure in Music City, he's justifiably gained a reputation as one of the city's most talent thespians and he's worked for most of the major companies in town, including Tennessee Repertory Theatre, Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre, Nashville Shakespeare Festival and Nashville Children's Theatre. As versatile as he is busy, with a resume as long as his arm, Russell might have won the most acclaim for his performances in works by the Bard, but he's been lauded just as vociferously for his roles in comedies and musical theatre.

REVIEW: 'Sanders Family Christmas' at Backstage at the Barn
by Jeffrey Ellis - November 29, 2009
Directed by the multi-talented Tim Fudge, who does double duty as music director of the piece, Sanders Family Christmas is an affectionately drawn tribute to simpler times that is sure to evoke memories of home and hearth - and if you're country-born, as am I, you'll find yourself missing family members who are no longer with you. That alone makes the show an ideal pick for this sentimental season of the year, but it's Fudge's direction and the commendable efforts of his very talented cast that make it one of the year's strongest productions.
