Asking the Unanswerable

Actors' Playhouse has announced casting for it's regional premiere production of the Tony Award-winning musical Ragtime playing January 28 - February 22, 2015 at the Miracle Theatre.

As December steamrolls into the station, we are reminded, over and over again, with tv ads, a 7 mile radius of traffic surrounding the Mall at Millenia, and tepid temperatures that the holidays are here. Despite all that, what causes the most turmoil with the holidays is that terrifying F-word. Family. Families and the holidays go together like, well, drinking and the holidays. At the Mad Cow Theatre, you will find all of those things living and breathing full life in an oddly optimistic staging of JAMES JOYCE'S THE DEAD that has enough energy onstage to put the Sun Rain storming by to shame.

Mad Cow Theatre has announced the cast and creative team for its upcoming run of James Joyce's The Dead, music by Shaun Davey, book & lyrics by Richard Nelson, set to open December 5, 2014 in The Harriett as part of Season 18.

freeFall Theatre's production of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST has officially been extended for two more weeks through September 14.

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST is the final show of freeFall's 2013/14 Season of Outcasts.

It's unfair to call this version of the beloved classic a mere play; it's so much more than that. It's a total theatrical experience. And it's not to be missed.

freeFall Theatre's production of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST will open August 2 for a limited run of only 22 performances. Previews begin tonight, August 1 and the play closes on August 31.
