BWW Reviews: Mediocre and Missing a Few Degrees, TRP's SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION

It's a very lively crowd for a Sunday matinee but Theatre in the Round Players have quite a loyal following, so I'm not surprised.

Hunger and Thirst Theatre Collective Stage Hipster Production of Molière's THE MISANTHROPE, Beg. Tonight

Hand-written missives become ever-chiming texts and lacy corsets pair with flannel shirts in Hunger and Thirst Theatre Collective's production of Moliere's THE MISANTHROPE, mixing 17th-century French aristocratic society with today's Brooklyn hipsters to illuminate the backstabbing politics of social circles that exist in every culture and generation.
