PHOENIX, Nov. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ Prefer to celebrate the holidays in a more simplified low-key way? Are you looking for a tradition that focuses on the unique meaning of winter, and a holiday in which everyone can participate? For many living in the 21st century, learning and celebrating mankind's long relationship with the Earth's Winter Solstice that occurs every year December 21st - 22nd has almost been forgotten. Large populations have moved away from an agrarian lifestyle that depends on animals, nature and the seasons. We now live in cities and suburbs that depend on commerce, industrial farming and grocery store chains. The deeper connection with the impact of seasonal change has become far removed from the daily conveniences of our modern lives.

Dave Thomas Brown, recently of Heathers: The Musical at New World Stages, leads a cast that also includes Wayne Duvall (O Brother Where Art Thou?, Leatherheads), Matt McGrath (Cabaret, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), Keith Nobbs (Lombardi, 'The Black Donnellys') and Afton C. Williamson ('Nashville,' 'Homeland'), in Matthew Lopez's THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA McBRIDE, opening tonight, September 9, 2015 at MCC Theater. Let's see what the critics had to say...

Near the end of his exceptional new show, Very Good Years: The Intimate Sinatra at the Metropolitan Room, Richard Malavet recalls famed radio personality William B. Williams who once said: "Frank Sinatra is the most imitated, most listened to, most recognized voice of the 20th century." Williams did not exaggerate. Consequently, in this centennial year of Sinatra's birth, there will be many observations of the man known as "The Voice." For his tribute to Sinatra, Malavet did his homework. In this meticulously researched, respectful homage, he turns his talents to the more personalized aspects of the pop star's recording years, from 1939-1968, when musically, Sinatra became synonymous with songs of heartache and loneliness.

Monday night at the upstairs library at The Player's Club, young actor/vocalist Evan Stern collaborated with one of cabaret's treasures, the veteran pianist/arranger/vocalist Steve Ross on a show illuminating the influence of a southern upbringing on the work of iconic songwriter and Savannah, Georgia native Johnny Mercer. The piece was beautifully put together with Stern's intermittent repartee (never dropping a musical stitch), reflecting his skills as an actor as well as a writer.

Few directors and choreographers can get the sort of performance Kathleen Marshall drew out of Sutton Foster in the 2011 revival of ANYTHING GOES; few can get them to keep going, to push through an eight-minute act closer, with hefty tapping and belting. Fewer still can stitch it all up into one of the most rousing, palpitation-inducing musical moments in decades.

PHOENIX, Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ Prefer to celebrate the holidays in a more simplified low-key way? Are you looking for a tradition that focuses on the unique meaning of winter, and a holiday in which everyone can participate? 'How To Celebrate Winter Solstice' is a new book for the whole family. What is it and why celebrate the Winter Solstice? For many of us who live in the beginning of the 21st century no longer celebrate or have ever learned about mankind's long relationship with the Winter Solstice that occurs every year either on December 21st or 22nd. We've moved away from an agrarian lifestyle that depends on animals, nature and the seasons. We now live in cities and suburbs that depend on commerce, industrial farming and grocery store chains. The deeper connection with the impact of seasonal change has become far removed from the daily conveniences of our modern lives.

I was lucky to get so much of Barry Doss' time. He is resident Costume Designer for Dance at Sam Houston State University and Stages Repertory Theatre's upcoming production of MARIE ANTOINETTE. When I called, he was in his workshop in Huntsville patterning and cutting. Fresh off Broadway, by way of Fort Worth, Texas, he came home to Houston last spring - February to be exact - and immediately got to work on the anachronistic beauty that is MARIE ANTOINETTE.
