BWW Review: DOG SEES GOD at Roxy's Downtown, A Cutting-Edge Show for Wichita Theatre
by Craig Richardson - January 18, 2019
'Just listen. That's what I want,' thoughtfully states actor Max Wilson playing CB inDog Sees God, a progressive, contemporary play taking major forward-thinking steps at Roxy's Downtown in the Wichita theatre dramaturgy. This simple request for the audience is a difficult one to adhere to in spite of the heavy topics that are presented in the production. Themes of bullying, drugs, partying, sexuality, gun violence in schools, teen pregnancy and overall teenage carnage are some of the harsh realities these famed Charlie Brown characters face and must figure out how to endure.

The Lawrence Busker Festival Presents The World's First All-Female Busker Festival
by BWW News Desk - January 15, 2019
The city of Lawrence, Kansas has been the home of many notable women of incredible strength and will. After the town burned down and most of the men were killed in the mid-1800s, it was the women of Lawrence who brought it back. Since then, many women from Lawrence have gone onto becoming fighters and survivors. Erin Brockovich the activist, and Lynette Woodward the first female Harlem Globetrotter come to mind.

DOG SEES GOD at Roxy's Downtown, A ground-breaking play about the coming of age
by Craig Richardson - January 10, 2019
Roxy's Downtown is set to open their upcoming production Dog Sees God this weekend. For those unfamiliar with the title, simply imagine what it would be like if Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang grew up from sweet, innocent childhood adolescence to fully-fledged, juvenile teenagers. Not to be confused with the hit Broadway musical, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, this play definitely sparks a more mature conversation worth having. In an exclusive interview for BroadwayWorld.com, I sat down with the cast of Dog Sees Godat Roxy's Downtown to find out why this show is important to attend.

BWW Review: WILL SANTA DRINK CANADA DRY? OR GO TELL IT TO THE MOUNTIE at Mosley Street Melodrama
by Craig Richardson - January 07, 2019
    Wichita's most unique theatre is located at 234 N. Mosely Street. Like the street's name, Mosley Street Melodrama is home to some of the best talent Wichita has to offer and presented in true melodramatic style. Now, if you have never been to a Mosley Street production, there are a few things you ought to know. Every time the heroine enters, you sigh. For the hero, you cheer. But if the villain is cunningly conniving, you boo and hiss. The first act is a melodramatic featured presentation while the second half is a musical revue. Filled with inside jokes only a true Wichitan would understand, Will Santa Drink Canada Dry? Or Go Tell it to the Mountie caps off the theatre company's year in true Christmas-comedic fashion.
