Buddhist Truths and Magic Tricks make First Folio’s “Fooling Buddha” Fun
**** Recommended **** I’m not quite sure how to describe First Folio’s “Fooling Buddha”. It’s a one-man show, for sure, but it’s also a memoir filled with Buddhist truisms and a little bit of magic thrown in just for fun. The important thing – “Fooling Buddha” has a lot of laughs. I give it 4…

I watched the Court Theatre’s Production of “Long Day’s Journey into Night” with Fascinated Horror!
**** Highly Recommended **** I’d never seen “Long Day’s Journey into Night” until I saw it at the Court the other night. I think my reaction as I watched the play was fascinated horror. This family put the ‘dys’ in dysfunctional! Since “Long Day’s Journey into Night” is rather long, I thought my arthritic knees…

Disappointing “Matilda The Musical” at the Oriental
*** Somewhat Recommended*** I had hoped to take my almost seven-year-old granddaughter to see the stage adaptation of Roald Dahl’s children’s book, “Matilda The Musical”, but since it was spring break, she was off skiing in Colorado. Now, I’m glad she was away. Honestly, I don’t know what the buzz was all about. Child abuse…
Moon Over Buffalo by Marian Theatre Guild Whiting

Last spring Jayma directed Ludwig’s “Lend Me a Tenor,” a similar comedy where there’s never a boring moment with players entering and exiting at a quick pace. When asked what she thought the similarities were…
Paramount’s “West Side Story” is Spectacular!
**** Highly Recommended **** Paramount Theatre’s spectacular production of “West Side Story” phis definitely one of the best I’ve ever seen. Combine Leonard Bernstein’s glorious music and Steven Sondheim’s amazing lyrics, and you have one of the best musicals ever written. Although it premiered more than fifty years ago, “West Side Story” is continues to…
Northlight’s “Butler” is a Fascinating Glimpse of History
**** Highly Recommended **** First of all, “Butler” is not about a servant in the White House or anywhere else. Actually, the “Butler” in the title is Benjamin Franklin Butler, a Major General in the Union Army during the Civil War. Playwright Richard Strand took a single line in Butler’s bio and turned it into…
