After a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2015, Izzy Tennyson's BRUTE comes to Soho Theatre. BRUTE (winner of the 2015 IdeasTap Underbelly Award) is an exciting piece of new writing based on the true story of a rather twisted, horrible schoolgirl. Tennyson's truthful writing is fearless, laced with a deliciously scabrous humour.
?Producers beware of meat cleavers and frying pans! Kara-Lynne Vaeni will direct a staged reading of THE REAL ACTORS OF NYC.
If you look up the definition of the word pulse in a dictionary, or at www.dictionary.com as I did, you find that the third meaning completely resonates with PULSE - A MADCO (Modern American Dance Company) Cabaret Performance, which is a collaborative effort with the UMSL Music Department. The 'rhythmic recurrence of strokes, vibrations, or undulations', captures the spirit and essence of this thoroughly enjoyable experience. While considered a 'work-in-progress', to a degree, I would have to say that it rises well above that plateau to reach considerable heights as an experience into how music and dance intertwine. Music provides the rhythms and sounds that dancers can move or react to, whether balletic, theatrical, or modern, etc, in nature and style. PULSE takes that a step further with a series of five examples of how they can actually interact down to the subtlest note or phrase, and it's set to a score, that was performed with amazing precision, that runs the gamut from classical pieces to newly created ones, to standards, to free-form jazz. A total trip through music and dance itself, divided up into five sections, each featuring a different choreographer, and its own selection of musical choices. It's an absolute success, and it's challenging, playful, filled with moments of both grace and humor, and brimming with athleticism and energy.

The Suffolk University/Boston Playwrights' Theatre co-production of RHINOCEROS, newly adapted by Wesley Savick from Derek Prouse's translation, features a Boston setting, but maintains the themes of Eugene Ionesco's 1959 classic play from the Cold War era. Things being as they are, that sort of feels like the good old days, yet we are reminded that conformity, fascism, and totalitarianism have never gone out of style.

Local author S. E. Summa is an active PRO member of the Music City Romance Writers (MCRW), the local chapter of the Romance Writers of America. She graduated magna cum laude from Belmont University with a BBA. Growing up in Nashville, S. E. Summa always felt the city's unique culture and landmarks would be the perfect setting for monsters to play. Creating a vast supernatural underbelly and infusing Southern charm with magical realism, she wrote Much of Madness from her home in Smyrna, Tennessee. 'As I was playing tourist downtown one day, I discovered the perfect location for a grisly horror scene,' said the author, 'while standing beneath the radio spire that extends from the ceiling of the Country Music Hall of Fame's rotunda.' 'It was important from day one, that Nashville be an unspoken character throughout this story,' notes Summa, 'Much of Madness' simply couldn't take place in any other city.' Broadway's honky tonks, the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and a fictional supernatural den of inequity in Printer's Alley, all serve as backdrops for this twisted tale of curses, revenge, and romance. 'Much of Madness' is a Southern Gothic Horror story about loyalty, sacrifice, and maintaining hope no matter the odds. Available on February 29, 2016. S. E. Summa will attend two upcoming signings in Nashville at UTOPiA in June and the Authors at the Opry in September. She will also sign at book events in St. Louis, MO and Frankenmuth, MI in 2016. If you would like more information on 'Much of Madness' or to schedule an interview with Shantele Summa, please call the author directly at 615-337-1598 or email inkmancypress@gmail.com.

With his days as Mayor of London numbered, Britain's favourite comedy politician casts himself in another leading role: the star of his own West End show. This gaffe-a-minute comedy sees the thinking man's idiot wobbling on the brink of power. This rollicking tale packs in pay-as-you-go bikes, wiff-waff, and an ancient Greek lecture for good measure. Before long, verbal slips, trips and divine interruption cue a new battle - for his very political existence.
Terrifyingly, one in two of us will experience cancer first-hand.
