Penguin Rep Theatre will present KEN LUDWIG'S DEAR JACK, DEAR LOUISE, a heartfelt play about a World War II romance told through letters.

SHADOWLAND STAGES will present LEND ME A SOPRANO, a hilarious comedy set in 1934 at the Cleveland Grand Opera Company.

The play follows the journey of three men who discover a stranger trapped on a half-frozen lake. One tries desperately to save him from his harrowing fate, only to find that his well-intended actions trigger consequences that alter the lives of the trio forever. 

Mike Labbadia creates a larger-than-life Vincent whose slow burns, emotional outbursts, and comically hapless attempts at romance reminded me of Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden in seminal sitcom The Honeymooners. I mentioned the Gleason comparison to Mr. Labbadia after his performance. What I didn’t realize at that moment is that in the script, which I read later, the character breakdown for Vincent invokes “Ralph Kramden” and an authors’ note in the script references “The Honeymooners.”

One of the several surprises I encountered as Desperate Measures got underway with a bang at North Castle Library’s Whippoorwill Theater in Armonk, N.Y. is that the dialogue is all rhyming couplets. If that brings to mind the prolific punslinger Wild Will Shakespeare, it should, because the premise of this Western-themed show is based on his play Measure for Measure. (The Armonk production is through June 15; armonkplayers.org).
