It's always fun to take in the many treats available at Shakespeare Festival St. Louis each year in Forest Park, and I'm not just talking about the food and drink stands, but also all the performers, mini-versions of the show, etc, that take place before the main attraction begins (arrive early). And,with the weather just a touch cooler there's no excuse not to attend, Besides, it's truly special watching a classic work by the immortal bard under the stars. This year a most apropos example of his work, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, takes flight in the wooded confines, exactly the place where the action of this play occurs. It's a match made in heaven, and it's also a work that, as I've stated in other reviews, is a great introduction to the playwright. So, by all means, bring the family and enjoy this fantastic production.

This week, we go around our Broadway World to feature stories in Rhode Island, Milwaukee, Seattle and more. Check out our top 10 stories around our Broadway World below, which include THE HEIDI CHRONICLES in Rhode Island, the 40th Anniversary of Milwaukee Rep's A CHRISTMAS CAROL, and Seattle Rep's JINKX MONSOON & MAJOR SCALES: UNWRAPPED, just to name a few.
THE HEIDI CHRONICLES follows the career, social activities and love life of Heidi Holland, through 1970's & 80's . While hers is not an everywoman story, there is still something that every woman today has gone through or will face in the future, namely, the quest to 'have it all', the question of whether or not that's even possible and what it means to be a feminist. If that all sounds too heavy, don't worry. This play has a lightness of tone that belies the serious issues underneath, and really strikes the perfect note of intelligent discourse with a heavy dose of levity.
