BWW Review: BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S Charms at 2nd Story
by Andria Tieman - July 17, 2017
BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S is a literary and movie classic that always charms, and 2nd Story Theatre's production captures the setting and characters perfectly. If you haven't been to 2nd Story lately, it's worth a visit just to see all of the changes. The sets for this production, by Max Ponticelli, take the previous stadium seating configuration into a theatre in the round with brownstone facades, cobbled stones and a lovely balcony perfect for singing Moon River. Every aspect of this production is so well thought out that you immediately feel like you've slipped into 1940's New York City the second you sit down. There are a couple aspects of this production that dull the magic slightly, but overall, this is charming summer theatre that will also tugs at heartstrings.

BWW Review: Uneven CALENDAR GIRLS at Granite Theatre
by Andria Tieman - July 06, 2017
CALENDAR GIRLS is a charming story about some Yorkshire women who think outside the box in order to raise money to celebrate one of their late husbands. The ladies of the Women's Institute sell a calendar every year as a fundraiser, but the calendar is usually pictures of local churches or similar. This time, they decide to get a bit risque', but also run the risk of running afoul of the head of the national Women's Institute. It's a charming play that is genuinely funny, and the cast of the Granite Theatre are clearly enthusiastic, unfortunately the production is marred by numerous technical elements that normally an audience doesn't even notice, but when they do, it creates something that's hard to watch.
