Photo Flash: Timberlane Regional High School's Canceled But Restored SWEENEY TODD Takes a Bow
by BWW News Desk - May 11, 2015
As BroadwayWorld previously reported last year, Timberlane Regional High School planned to present a PG version of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd but administrators feared it would not be family friendly and attempted to cancel the production. In response, hundreds of supporters for SWEENEY TODD gathered at a meeting to fight for the show. At the three-hour forum, the majority of the attendees were in support of SWEENEY. Superintendent Earl Metzler said he was not completely opposed to the play but that he needed to think of the community as a whole. In the end, the show went on, an Stephen Sondheim himself even wrote to the company to applaud their persistence. He writes: 'I've never understood why Sweeney Todd is considered 'controversial.' The incidents in the plot may be lurid, but the show's themes are primarily injustice, morality and greed, as Howard Sherman pointed out. More important, it's a wonderful scary story- what Sweeney Todd is really about is having a good time.' Check out his full letter below!

New Hampshire Theatre Project's Senior Youth Repertory Company to Present RHINOCEROS, 5/15-24
by BWW News Desk - May 11, 2015
Directed by Robin Fowler, Rhinoceros is a play that from its inception has challenged the status quo. One of the major influences of absurdist theatre, Ionesco's play still resonates with its themes of blind conformity, totalitarianism, metamorphosis, love, despair, and death. The illogical comedy of Rhinoceros hits on many touchstones of the human experience, feeling both familiar and incredibly alien at the same time.
