Something we knew we always wanted, but unexpected is how much we would need a show like this. Who’d of thought, Rocky Horror in July? If ever there was a truer testament to the old saying, “If you build it, they will come...,” then that would be none other than Jobsite and their production of Richard O’Brien’s titillating cult behemoth The Rocky Horror Show.

ArtsFairfax, the local arts agency that offers funding to Northern Virginia’s nonprofit arts sector, promotes local arts and culture activities, and connects arts workers to work and professional development opportunities, has announced new members to its Board of Directors and new officers to the Board Executive Committee.

Between 1959 and 1972 – with the full Cleveland Orchestra, the somewhat smaller Cleveland Pops and the chamber-sized Cleveland Sinfonietta – Louis Lane made a series of critically acclaimed recordings for Columbia.

What did our critic think of 9 TO 5 at Music Theatre Of Wichita At Century II Concert Hall?9 to 5 is one of my favorite shows - it’s entertaining, it’s full of comedic moments, and it has some great lessons in self love, trusting your instincts, and believing in yourself. It shows us not only how far we have come in terms of respecting women’s rights, but also shows us how much more needs to be done in terms of equal rights for not only women, but for all minority groups.

Summers around Seattle tend to get a bit lighter on the theatrical side. But there’s still a bunch of fun things coming along. Here are a handful that I’m excited about.

An all-new Elvis musical is set to premiere at the Gold Coast. The production promises to bring the iconic music and story of Elvis Presley to life on stage.

One of the several surprises I encountered as Desperate Measures got underway with a bang at North Castle Library’s Whippoorwill Theater in Armonk, N.Y. is that the dialogue is all rhyming couplets. If that brings to mind the prolific punslinger Wild Will Shakespeare, it should, because the premise of this Western-themed show is based on his play Measure for Measure. (The Armonk production is through June 15; armonkplayers.org). 

The Shawnee Playhouse will present My Fair Lady, from June 15th through July 7th, 2024.

Two terrific leads will delight audiences, but the source material's misogyny proves too much to simply sweep aside
