The popular southwest R&B group CHRIS + COMPANY, featuring the multi-talented artist Christopher Rodriguez, has signed a deal to release their next album on the 13 Music record label.

As You Like It, one of Shakespeare's great comedies, has long been an audience favorite, and no wonder...it's filled with spectacular wit and humor, along with gender identity, philosophy, Nature as the Cure for Civilization, 'All the world's a stage,' wrestling, lust, coming of age, and music. Name it. It's in there. UNM's Department of Theatre and Dance production of Shakespeare's As You Like It runs November 9 through 19, 2018 in Rodey Theatre on UNM's Main Campus.

Saturday Night Fever caused a sensation when it debuted in movie theatres in 1977.   The film's earthy dialogue, gritty story, and throbbing disco music permeated American pop culture for years.

WEST SIDE STORY is a classic musical that audiences have been enjoying for many decades. When one hears songs by Leonard Bernstein and Stephan Sondheim such as "Tonight" or "Somewhere," you are immediately drawn into the story of love and hate that exists between two groups of people who have more in common than they would like to admit. The Woodlawn Theatre in San Antonio's latest production of WEST SIDE STORY represented the true spirit of the play as local actors took to the stage in San Antonio's latest production.

A decade or so from now, if you were to google 'Broadway shows that had a mediocre Broadway run but are regional theater crowdpleasers,' I'd be willing to bet that Catch Me if You Can would top the list. The musical, written by Hairspray's Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman with a book by Terrence McNally, played only 166 Broadway performances. Despite mixed reviews, the musical received 5 Tony nominations, including Best Musical. Norbert Leo Butz even took home the award for Best Actor in a Leading role (In other words, Butz beat out both leads from The Book of Mormon, and the Tony Awards reaction shot from Mormon's Josh Gad demands a YouTube detour before you continue reading).

On Saturday, October 19, 2013, The Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center produced and presented an original production that celebrated South Florida's home grown talent. The show launched the Center's Bring It Home Miami, a new initiative to reconnect established artists with the community that inspired their careers. Funding for Bring It Home Miami was provided by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation's Knight Arts Challenge.

It's alive! Woodlawn Theatre's current production of Young Frankenstein, the Mel Brooks musical based on his hit 1974 film, is enjoyable and entertaining, perhaps more than it should be considering the mediocre material. But despite the few flaws in the material, this is one monster of a good time.

Early on in Learner and Lowe's Camelot, Guinevere asks, 'Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?' If her question was instead 'Where are the simple joys of musical comedy?' I'd tell her to look no further than the Woodlawn Theatre. Their current production of Spamalot is two hours of pure fun and brilliant comedic performances, simple though the material may be.

I'm sad to report that I may have missed several moments of The Producers, currently playing at San Antonio's Woodlawn Theatre. The downside of having to wipe tears of laughter out of your eyes is that you miss a few seconds of action. Of course, that's hardly a complaint about this solid, polished, and professional production. Woodlawn Theatre's current production of The Producers illustrates exactly why the show was such a hit when it opened in 2001 and why it continues to please audiences. Despite the occasional offensiveness and cheekiness, the show is an enjoyable laugh riot that you can't help but love.
