Review: CIVILIZING LUSBY at Best Medicine Repertory
by Peter Rouleau - April 08, 2024
A lone man taking on a developer to keep his property. A woman being courted by a man of means favored by her parents and a rogue. A couple whose prosperous appearance masks deep insecurity, secrets, and recriminations. These are all familiar elements, perhaps even cliches, but in Best Medicine Repertory's new play 'Civilizing Lusby,' they are given new life in a funny and engaging production.

Spotlight: CHICKS IN HEAVEN at Creative Cauldron
by BWW Special Offer - April 04, 2024
When four friends come together in a rural southwest Virginia town for a reunion, it's a happy gathering filled with remembrance and ritual. But when some religious crusaders stage a book-burning, and a local boy sets fire to one of the friend's van, their friendship is tested. Can the same magical activism that forged their early feminist bonds bring them together now to fight patriarchy and racism, at a time when the fight is needed most?
