BWW Reviews: Garrison Keillor Brings A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION - THE AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL TOUR to PPAC
by Robert Barossi - August 10, 2015
There is unquestionably something to be said for reliability and comfort. For things that are familiar to us or make us feel at home. There is something wonderful about that feeling when you are experiencing something that you know so well and have enjoyed so many times before. That feeling that you not only know what to expect, but know it will be very, very good. Provicence Performing Arts Center is always reliable in that you know they are bringing our area the best cultural, artistic and entertainment options around. The most recent example of this is this past weekend's arrival of Garrison Keillor and his A Priarie Home Companion - The America The Beautiful Tour.

BWW Reviews: See, Reader, See DIE, MOMMIE, DIE at 2nd Story
by Larry O'Brien - July 21, 2015
According to Artistic Director Ed Shea, the two most frequently produced playwrights at 2nd Story Theatre are Moliere and Charles Busch: apparently these people like to laugh. The current offering from Busch is the outrageous DIE, MOMMIE, DIE, which is running in rep with I HATE HAMLET thru August 28. Charles Busch is shameless enough to write plays in which he can play the leading lady. He does not hold back-this is campy, frankly sexual, insightful, absurd and hilarious.

BWW Reviews: I HATE HAMLET at 2nd Story
by Larry O'Brien - July 16, 2015
I HATE HAMLET by Paul Rudnick is a very funny play being given an excellent production at 2nd Story Theater in Warren. 2nd Story is on a roll of comedies this summer, mostly of the dark variety, but this one has no dark shadows (Well, one shade--the ghost of John Barrymore, but he is a friendly ghost) and is just plain hilarious. Got twenty-fie bucks? Get over to see it.
