Currently playing at The Georgetown Palace Theatre, 1776 THE MUSICAL, has a new concept on the popular, patriotic show that succeeds on every level. Director Clifford Butler has assembled a top notch cast with an added bonus. He chose to blind cast the roles in the musical, making fully half of the traditionally male roles, female.

Christopher Marlowe's iconic work, DOCTOR FAUSTUS, currently playing at The Curtain Theatre, produced by The Baron's Men, is not only a well done piece of historical theatre, it's downright fun.

ARSENIC AND OLD LACE by American playwright Joseph Kesselring, is a classic staple for modern Theatre enthusiasts. Taking into account the context of the political humor and dark comedy, it is hard to believe this show was first brought to the stage in 1941. A New York Times review of it's opening night stated the play was, 'so funny that none of us will ever forget it.' Best known for it's film of the same decade, this adaptation stars Cary Grant and is directed by the celebrated Frank Capra. After hitting the big screen, this dark comedic farce has been brought to a much wider audience and became a local theatre favorite.

The Georgetown Palace Theatre's current production of 42ND STREET is a greatly entertaining extravaganza of old fashioned song and dance.

Hennepin Theatre Trust will launch Represent: Made Here, sponsored by Andersen Windows, with a free, public celebration at Marin Restaurant & Bar (901 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis) on Thursday, June 2 from 5 to 8 p.m. This will be the sixth round of Made Here window displays in WeDo-the West Downtown Minneapolis Cultural District.

The Palace's full time technical director, Ron Watson, directs the musical TARZAN, which can easily be described as technical theatre at its best. The multi-leveled stage, with its large moving set pieces and high platforms brings the audience into the jungle with the gorillas and their unexpected friends. The attention to detail is exemplified by the set design not only on the stage, but through its extension into the theater itself. The rafters are lined with vines and a creative zip-line allows actors to amaze and shock the audience while swinging the length of the theater above viewers.

Reflection: Made Here, a project of Hennepin Theatre Trust, launches its latest window Showcases on Thursday, December 3, 2015, at Mayo Clinic Square, 600 Hennepin Avenue. A free public celebration will be held between 5 and 9 p.m.
