BETWEEN THE LINES: 'Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated'
by Jeffrey Ellis - October 18, 2009
As I entered the theatre itself to find my seat, I came face-to-face for the first time in lord knows how long with Reba Perkins, one of my favorite Nashville actresses, who now works part-time as an usher for TPAC. Reba's genuinely heartfelt response to seeing me was heartwarming and reassuring. Instantly, my mind went back to the first time I had the opportunity to review Reba's onstage work, in the Circle Players production of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson. She gave a wonderfully nuanced performance that garnered rave reviews all around and resulted in her being nominated for a First Night Award that season.

REVIEW: 'Noises Off' from Circle Players
by Jeffrey Ellis - October 17, 2009
The inspired lunacy of Michael Frayn's Noises Off is a good choice for any theatre company seeking to offer a glimpse into the wacky antics of life on the boards and Circle Players continues its 60th annual season with a largely successful production that features the aforementioned stellar performances of Maggie Pitt and Jeremy Maxwell in the roles of Poppy and Tim (the techies in Frayn's show-within-a-show structure). Pitt and Maxwell deliver disarmingly natural performances amid all the hilarious hijinks taking place in Frayn's wonderfully funny farce and they very nearly-actually, they do it outright-steal the show.

REVIEW: 'The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later' at Actors Bridge
by Jeffrey Ellis - October 13, 2009
Staged at the W.O. Smith Nashville Community Music School, The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later offers a follow-up to the original work and was produced internationally on the 11th anniversary of the death of Matthew Shepard, the young gay man who was so brutally murdered by two young men near the city limits of Laramie, Wyoming, in 1998. Audiences the world over were given the tremendous opportunity to share in the new work with the contemporaneous productions, an undertaking that amplifies the notion that live theatre can be transformative in its power to challenge conventional wisdom and, quite simply, provoke thought and introspection.
