BWW Reviews: Not in Kansas Anymore: Inge's BUS STOP at Center Stage
by Jack L. B. Gohn - Nov 30, 2012
Here in Baltimore, it seems to be Bus Stop season. It's been less than a month since I reviewed the Spotlighters' community theater production of the William Inge 1955 classic; now it's Center Stage's turn. And of course Center Stage (or is it Centerstage these days?) gives it a full-dress professional staging. The difference is surprisingly great.
BWW Reviews: Lovestruck and Crazy Like Foxes: BUS STOP at Spotlighters
by Jack L. B. Gohn - Nov 4, 2012
The flaws I've mentioned are real, but are far from detracting altogether from the enjoyment Bus Stop has to offer. Inge not only speaks up for crazy love, but for rustics who in their own ways are crazy like foxes in their pursuit of it. Crazy like a fox is usually good, especially when presented by as fine an ensemble as The Spotlighters have assembled here.
