BWW Review: DISASTER! at Elkhart Civic Theatre
by Dave Kempher - November 04, 2018
Take an earthquake, tidal waves, piranhas, sharks, explosions, and disco music, place them all on a floating casino that may, or may not be, up to code, and you have a recipe for Disaster. This campy send up of 1970's disaster movies is riddled with a cast of characters ranging form the scientist trying to warn everyone of the disasters about to come, a guy sneaking on the ship just to get laid, a couple celebrating a business deal, and a reporter who is trying to get the big story on this floating disaster waiting to happen.

by BWW News Desk - October 18, 2018
Who'd a thunk that Othello could be so funny? Okay, maybe Shakespeare's tragedy remains one of the most painful of his plays to watch, but if you just get the H out of the way Otello the opera can become a real laugh riot when it is at the heart of the Ken Ludwig's farcical "Lend Me A Tenor."

Lyons & Campbell Midamerica Mid-October Mini Tour Comes To Carriage Court Pizza
by BWW News Desk - September 29, 2018
Steven Lyons & Jamie Campbell are reuniting for a limited-run comedy tour that will hit a handful of lucky cities this October. The duo met when they were both stand-out performers in Chicago's world-famous comedy scene. Two twelve year-olds trapped inside the bodies of 30-something men, their act combines sketch comedy, stand-up, improvisation, and any other mix of dumb fun they can think of! Before disbanding when both left Chicago, they collaborated on the sketch comedy/talk show Talk Hard, which was named Chicago's "Best Sketch/Improv Troupe" by The Chicago Reader. The duo has performed on numerous stages, including The CSz Theater, Laugh Out Loud Comedy, Chicago Underground Comedy, Under The Gun Theater, and as headliners at the Columbus Improv Festival. They appeared on television sets across the nation as guests on Steve Gadlin's Star Makers. Steven now resides back in his home country of New Zealand, but is returning to the U.S. for a brief stint, making this very limited reunion tour possible. Don't miss this rare chance to see Lyons & Campbell return to the stage!

BWW Review: RIPCORD at Elkhart Civic Theatre
by Dave Kempher - September 21, 2018
Elkhart Civic Theatre presented a show that had the most fully fleshed out characters I've seen in a long time. Combine that with stellar acting from Jenny DiDario, Cameron Ponce, Stacey Nickel, and the trio of nut jobs that peopled the stage around them and you have a show that is a shame to have missed.

BWW Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at South Bend Civic Theatre
by Dave Kempher - September 08, 2018
For the three people who are not aware of the show, Jesus Christ Superstar is a fabulous rock opera that debuted in 1971 on Broadway and that many know from its 1973 film. It tells the story of the final days of Jesus as told through the eyes of Judas. This show has amazing music and is easily one of my favorite Andrew Lloyd Weber shows. It showcases rock vocals and can be as minimal or as grand as the stage allows.
