Theatre J's production of 'The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures' comes complete with quirks and brainy asides that can leave audiences miles behind, grasping for meaning.

The Ware Center has established a tradition of presenting stunning one-person theatrical pieces - professional showcases that not only entertain but enlighten its audiences. Last year the shows on Harriet Tubman, C.S. Lewis and five characters from the battle of Gettysburg sold-out, brought the audience to its feet and profoundly affected the way we look at life.

MetroStage's current production of 'Ella: First Lady of Song' is full of wonderful music; however, as a show, it proves to be a rocky walk down memory lane.
