What did our critic think of INTO THE WOODS at Ouachita Baptist University Jones Performing Arts Center?

In order for there to be a true appreciation for the amount of labor that goes into creating a show, theatre students must understand each element of the work required to put it on. The immense amounts effort put in by technical shop workers can often go overlooked; their tireless work not fully understood by others involved in the production. For respect and cohesion, I believe that it is important for every theatre student to spend time working in technical shops.

Spring has always felt like a natural time to reset. There’s something about the shift in seasons that makes me reflect on where I’ve been and where I want to go next. When it comes to theatre, this moment feels especially important for me because I’m in a stage of growth where I’m not just doing the work, I’m trying to understand who I am within it.

A few weeks ago I watched a series of reels made by Ken Davenport where he encourages high school theater organizations to incorporate more theatrical business positions into their organizations. I was instantly drawn to his words. I have performed in productions since I was around five years old. Performing will always be my first love, but my time in college has also given me such a passion for content creation. I have been given the incredible opportunity to be in charge of capturing people I love doing what they love, and I would not trade it for the world.

Dylan Mulvaney, who stars as Anne Boleyn in the Broadway musical Six through May 31, is addressing her critics. In a candid “Get Ready With Me” video shared to her social media platforms late last week, Mulvaney — who made her Broadway debut with the production in February — explained what it is like to replace an actor in a long-running musical as a trans person. 

While there is nothing wrong with simple, indifferent enjoyment of a performance, I want to challenge myself to find ways to actively engage with the content I am viewing. A critical lesson I have learned from my own producing experience is that, if I am not tuned in to the small details, it’s impossible to fully grasp the messages and concepts put forth by the director. Enjoying and learning from a show are two connected but different processes; I want to challenge myself to combine these experiences, finding pleasure in both.

The Middletown Arts Center will soon present the seventh edition of The MAC ONE-ACTS Play-Reading Festival, featuring original, one-act works by New Jersey playwrights read theatrically by local actors.

Murder with a touch of manners have arrived in delightfully dapper fashion at The Weekend Theater, where A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder—running through May 3—proves that sometimes climbing the social ladder requires a little… creative problem solving. Under the direction of David Weatherly, this production leans fully into the musical’s razor-sharp wit and farcical charm, delivering an evening that is as clever as it is wickedly entertaining.

Austin Playhouse’s A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, directed by Lara Toner Haddock, is a fast, witty farce about Monty Navarro and his murderous path to inheritance.
