Mark Roberts’ Uncle Jim is mean as a Snake in “New Country”
**** Recommended **** “New Country” is a “rags to riches, then turn on the people who got you there” story set in the country music industry. The good ole boys in “New Country” are vulgar and profane. The story is funny, but the biting humor disguises a lot of acerbic truths. “New Country” did make…
The Towle Theater’s “Crashing with Flamingos” is Quirky and Fun
**** Recommended **** Towle Theater’s new production, Jim Henry’s new play “Crashing with Flamingos”, is a quirky little play about married life and unexpected guests. It’s funny yet poignant, and it has a lot to say. Just when I thought I’d figured out where it was going, off it went in a whole new direction. …

Chicago Shakespeare’s “Othello” is Magnificent!
***** Highly Recommended ***** Chicago Shakespeare Theatre’s new production of “Othello” is nothing short of magnificent. “Othello” is probably my least favorite of all Shakespeare’s plays because Iago is a bottom-feeding sociopath, but compelling performances from an excellent cast drew me right in. I was on the edge of my seat all night! “Othello” gets…
