Older women like writer-actress Tulis McCall - a woman of a certain age - often talk of feeling they become 'invisible' after a certain age. A younger woman, the comedian and actress, Amy Schumer tackled this recently in in her famous 'Last F**kable Day' sketch. Raw, yes. And a valid point of view that Tulis explores in her latest monologue, 'ALL IN THE TIMING: Advice From A Woman Who Knows Better' at QSOLO 2020 Festival this weekend at AuxDog theatre in Albuquerque. Its theme is the stage of life when one is assumed to be 'past one's prime,' however, in 'All in the Timing' she reflects on a person's whole lifespan, as well as time when the road ahead is shorter than the road behind.

New Repertory Theatre dusts off an old chestnut for a family-friendly, non-holiday, crowd-pleasing offering as their gift for the season. Lionel Bart's OLIVER!, based on Charles Dickens' novel OLIVER TWIST, is known to be a little dark, with its themes of orphans, child exploitation, and vast income inequality (sound familiar?), but in the hands of New Rep's new Artistic Director, Michael J. Bobbitt, the darkness is lightened up with jaunty performances, a smattering of silly antics, and a set design (Luciana Stecconi) that skews to the cartoonish. With almost a dozen capable adults anchoring the cast, the seven children of all ages are given free rein to behave like children, albeit amazingly talented and spirited ones.
