Throughline Theatre to Stage JULIUS CAESAR
by BWW News Desk - July 12, 2016
Shakespeare's play depicts both the buildup to Caesar's assassination and the violent aftermath of the murder. Cassius, the chief conspirator against Caesar, convinces Brutus, once Caesar's loyal friend, that Caesar has become too powerful and that assassination is the only way to protect the people from tyranny. They carry out the murder but then encounter a powerful enemy in Mark Antony. In place of the traditional Roman setting, Throughline's production is set in a tent city and explores the connection of Shakespeare's text to the violence and class division of today's world.

BWW Review: DAMN YANKEES a Hit Out of The Park
by Dylan Shaffer - July 07, 2016
Baseball players doing pirouettes is not a typical pregame warm-up many major leaguers have, but that certainly doesn't stop the cast of Pittsburgh CLO's Damn Yankees from dancing their shoes off from left field to right, or rather, stage left to right. With bats in hand and led by a headstrong female reporter, the men of the Washington Senators deliver a power-packed, energized dance routine in 'Shoeless Joe' that reflects the charisma and passion displayed throughout the entire show.
