'The Diary of Anne Frank' is now onstage at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey through November 21st. Directed by Joseph Discher, this moving theatrical piece is impeccably performed. It is a must-see this fall.

Rivalisierende Jugendbanden ziehen durch die Straßen von New York. Eine aggressive Spannung herrscht zwischen den US-amerikanischen »Jets« und den aus Puerto Rico eingewanderten »Sharks«. Das Zusammenprallen der Kulturen und der Traum von einer toleranten Welt ist von Bernstein mitreißend, rebellisch und feinfuhlig in Musik umgesetzt worden. In WEST SIDE STORY vereint er Elemente aus Oper, Jazz, Musical mit feurigen Tanzrhythmen und schuf unsterbliche Hits wie »Maria«, »Somewhere« und »Tonight«. Das ursprunglich in den 50iger Jahren angesiedelte Stuck wird derzeit am Theater Lubeck aufgeführt, wobei die Geschichte dabei in die Gegenwart versetzt wurde, was vor allem durch Kostum- und Buhnenbild zum Ausdruck kommt.

Heute fast aktueller wie nie zuvor ist WEST SIDE STORY diese Spielzeit am Theater Lübeck zu sehen. Die Premiere fand am vergangenen Freitag statt und wurde vom Publikum mit Standing Ovations gefeiert. Und auch die Kritiker zeigten sich begeistert von dieser neuen Inszenierung:

In her eyes, he would always be the same... Twenty-four-year-old Maggie Jacobs had lived a life of heartache and pain. After losing the one and only man she ever loved to incurable cancer, she went on to take a job working for PGI Corporation in hopes she could find a cure in honor of him one day. Little did she know her very working there could be the difference between life and death. Killer was just that-a killer. He lived for the moments when he could break bones and bring other's nightmares to life. After all, isn't that what they wanted from him? Genetically altered by the government, stripped of all his own memories, Killer heads down a dark and dangerous road. Memories evade his mind, but nothing sticks out quite like the girl in his dreams. Secrets, lies, and the sweetest of betrayals encompass them. Can Killer find his way through the rage and back to Maggie or is it too late? Can someone who is hell bent on being broken truly be saved? 'Project: Killer' is available in print and ebook formats.

BWW Reviews: FESTIVAL OF ORIGINALS: Fresh and Interesting

Five original plays by five emerging playwrights. Come and enjoy, as we bring to life five talented artist's funny, poignant and beautifully written stories.

Theatre Southwest presents 'The Columnist' by David Auburn directed by Malinda L. Beckham. For decades, Joseph Alsop was the most powerful journalist in the country. He was beloved, feared by the Washington political world. But as the '60s approached and American culture entered a time of dizzying change, the intense political drama Joe was embroiled in became deeply personal as well. A fascinating new play from the Tony award winning author of Proof.
