This college production is on par with anything I have seen recently, professional or community theatre. The entire ensemble is talented and enthusiastic. This is one to see, but time is limited!

The Catastrophic Theatre Presents THE BLACKEST SHORE
by Matt Sowell
- Jan 27, 2015
Stuart, 16, is making a movie: graphic violence, extreme sex, the walking dead. Of course it's also a love story. And it's all true. In fact it's more horribly true than anyone, even Stuart, can rightly comprehend.
BWW Reviews: The Cast of CAKE Takes The Cake
by Katricia Lang
- Jan 26, 2015
CAKE is a dark, dark film with comic moments, but it deals with love as much as it deals with tragedy. We still have star-crossed lovers (Aniston and Worthington) along with our substance abuse. There's nothing more appropriate for a woman who wants depth and starred in HORRIBLE BOSSES and F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

BWW Live Recap: Lots of Laughs as Theatre Stars Shine at 72nd Golden Globes
by Matt Smith
- Jan 11, 2015
Film and television stars (and audiences) are sure to come out in droves when funny ladies Tina Fey and Amy Poehler take the stage for a final time (so they say!) to host the Golden Globes, tonight on NBC at 8pm/7c. While the annual ceremony wouldn't be as geared toward theatre people as, say, the Tony Awards (June 7th on CBS for those who need a heads-up), this year is a bit different, with a collection of nominees having Broadway experience, and a few films up for nods having ties to theatre as well.

Mother Road Theatre Company to Present AMERICAN BUFFALO, 2/13-3/1
by Tyler Peterson
- Jan 9, 2015
Mother Road Theatre Company presents the modern masterpiece AMERICAN BUFFALO. During one long day in a run-down junk shop, three men of great ambition and low morals plan a heist of a customer's valuable coin collection. When the con goes awry, it's every man for himself. This fast paced drama is all aggression and testosterone, with characters wielding words like weapons to intimidate, cajole and manipulate each other. The results are hilarious, powerful and ultimately tragic in a play that won the 1976 Obie Award for Best New Play, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play and was nominated for two Tony Awards.
