Research tells us that LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST could be Shakespeare's first comedies. It is also a Shakespearean comedy that stands the test of time with a plot that could be in any modern day romantic comedy film. While the verse is long winded, the plot is easy to follow and provides great belly laughs that are worth sticking through.

The Annie Russell Theatre, the longest running theatre in Central Florida, announces their 84th season!

The Annie Russell Theatre at Rollins College kicks off their 84th season with a modern-day farce that has quickly become a staple of the American stage. In The Foreigner, an Englishman arrives at a bed and breakfast in rural Georgia. Reeling from marital strife and suffering from crippling social anxiety, Charlie leads the residents of the inn to believe he doesn't speak English. The result? Not the peace and quiet he was hoping for.

As the school year begins again we get a fresh crop of productions from our local colleges. To kick off this season Rollins College presents THE FOREIGNER. Grace Zottig is a senior and is gaining some hands on experience at directing alongside Thomas Ouellette. Grace took some time out of her busy schedule to answer some of my questions. It is refreshing to hear from someone just at the start of her career.

Now, running through September 6th, Mad Cow Theatre has brought to their stage an exemplary production of Norris' surprisingly funny CLYBOURNE PARK that is so full of intelligence, talent, and compassion that it can't help but engage Orlando theatre audiences in this discussion that has become vitally important given tragic events in our country over the past year.

Everyone has read Harper Lee's classic American novel TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, which explains the sold out crowds flocking to see Orlando Shakespeare's live adaptation. It is a luxurious production that ships audience right into 1930s southern life. As with all great stories the ones that leave a lasting impact are those that are timeless and speak to all generations.

One of the most magical places that I have ever been is Grover's Corners, New Hampshire. It's not a fancy place, just a simple town in which people go about their business, but are always willing to stop and chat about the weather. Grover's Corners is the epitome of a way of life that has long since ceased to exist, if it ever actually did in the first place. However, despite its quantness and surface simplicity, every time I go back to visit, I find more and more depth in the town than I ever remembered being there before. Perhaps this is a simple byproduct of my own aging, but each time I stop by Grover's Corners, I fall more and more in love with this mythical, magical town.
