The 2019 theatrical season has afforded me the opportunity to see several fantastic plays and musicals, unfortunately, Ken Ludwig's SHERWOOD THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD does not rank among them.

by Kate Elliott
- Sep 10, 2018
FLY BY NIGHT at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati (ETC) is not a traditional musical. It is not strictly a love story. Nor is it strictly a New York City story, nor a pop/rock musical, nor a folk musical. Leave expectations at the door, let the story unfold in its unique and circuitous way, and you may discover the stuff of stars.

BWW Review: HIR at Unicorn Theatre
by Alan Portner
- Jun 4, 2018
Unicorn Theatre bills itself as a venue for "Bold New Plays." Its current production, 2014s "Hir" (pronounced "Here") by the playwright Taylor Mac certainly fits in with that expressed goal. Hir" bills itself as a dark family comedy performed as absurd reality. It is funny in places and tragic in others. It blows up traditional values in favor of being on the leading edge of change.

When Isaac returns home from Afghanistan to help take care of his ailing father, he discovers a household in revolt. His mother, Paige, has been liberated from an oppressive marriage, and with the help of her newly "out" transgender teen is passionately dismantling the patriarchy. But in Taylor Mac's shocking and subversive comedy, even the most radical changes can't always free you from the past.
