Agatha Christie's SPIDER'S WEB is a regular whodunit mystery. It's smart. It's humorous. And it always keeps you guessing. Instead of the expected holiday-focused production Theatre in the Round Players is offering up a little something different this season and I am more than happy to accept.

Theatre in the Round Players (TRP) presents Spider's Web by Agatha Christie in weekend performances tonight, November 15 through December 15, 2013.

I usually choose not to review workshop productions, but, in regard to Deborah Johnson's Tsarina, breaking the rule proved worthwhile. The show has such great potential. It's incredible to think that other composers have not seized the opportunity to write a musical play about this most vibrant time frame of Russian history culminating in the Bolshevik revolution and in 1917 the downfall of Nicholas (Patrick Dillon Curry) and Alexandra (Kelly Derouin), the last czars in Russia.

DJWorks Music and The Grove Theatre announce the World Premiere of TSARINA, opening September 16th at 7:29 pm. In TSARINA, which might be described as 'LES MIS MEETS DR. ZHIVAGO', the love of Nicholas and Alexandra endures in the face of political intrigue, jealousy, greed and revolution.
