Two drowned girls, a perilous love triangle, a mother-less child and a child-less mother. Chloe Whitehorn's new play tackles the rippling impact of loss and the repercussions of drowning in every way a person can drown. Mourning After the Night Before premiered as a one act play at the Alumnae Theatre's New Ideas Festival last spring where it was praised as "Beautifully and sensitively written, it's haunting, darkly funny and mysterious.' (Cat McKim, Life With More Cowbell)

This past weekend, interACT Theatre Productions presented 'Sister Act The Musical' at The Baird Community Center in South Orange, New Jersey. The musical is based on the 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg, Maggie Smith and Kathy Najimy. The musical, written by Cheri & Bill Steinkellner, opened on Broadway in 2011 and closed after 561 performances. Although the musical does not utilize songs from the film, the musical score is comprised of both fun and heartwarming songs with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Glenn Slater.

Let's chalk this one up to a work in progress.

Cultivating a night of two shows that really show the drastic differences between how men and women deal with uncomfortable situations, the Sun Prairie Civic Theatre presented "A Night of Bridge and Beer" this past weekend. Featuring two one acts, The Coal Diamond by Shirley Lauro and Lone Star by James McLure, SPCT brought in a lot of fans who were ready for a fun evening.

Canyon Moon Theater will present EMBRACEABLE ME by Victor L. Cahn from October 13- October 30.

The Department of Motor Vehicles. Source of aggravation, long lines and - love? In Panache by Don Gordon inconvenience and romance intersect in a collision of surprisingly rich characters. The show runs February 3 through February 20 at Canyon Moon Theatre.This unpredictable comedy starts out simply: Kathleen Trafalgar wants a license plate with the word 'Panache' on it, but Harry Baldwin has it. She is determined to get it for her husband and is willing to pay any price for it. Nothing is as straightforward as it seems, however, and what begins as a ridiculous squabble over the seemingly unimportant turns into a sometimes bittersweet, sometimes humorous quest to salvage two lives.
