		<description><![CDATA[Guys don’t talk, guys solve. The problem is, what does a guy say when the problem can’t be solved? Mark Harris’ 1956 novel/television adaptation examines how paragons of masculinity handle that which has no words. Baseball pitcher Henry “Author” Wiggen (Michael Stegall) isn’t best friends with catcher Bruce Pearson (Kevin Duvall); he’s not even sure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a show with a running time of less than an hour, Theater Un-Speak-Able’s cheeky new whodunit makes appeals to a surprisingly broad audience. Those eagerly awaiting a high-speed rail zooming through the Midwest will gleefully watch the actors run around the “Toronto Zephyr,” though specific aspects of the train aren’t integral to the plot, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED In 1916, The Sparks Circus brought its show to small-town Erwin, Tennessee. The result was that the ghosts of cruelty tarted up with sequins and called the greatest show on earth. The show’s star attraction, Mary the elephant, murdered its abusive handler; the townspeople’s bloodlust demanded its execution in return. Red Tape creates a [...]]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://newcitystage.com/?p=18631</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED As theater, Erasing the Distance’s piece discussing bipolar disorder is not very good. The staging is stagnant, the performance decisions and narrative angles are repetitious, and the sound and lighting don’t add as much as they could. I’ve seen director Genevieve Thompson’s work before; she has a great deal more to offer. But that’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED “Ireland isn’t idyllic, and the Aran Islands aren’t meant to be a tourist trap… Inishmaan isn’t supposed to be an escape but a prison–something nasty, brutal and short.” So says the dramaturg’s note on the playbill of Redtwist Theatre’s newest production. The near-claustrophobic theater space, with stark grey stone for the walls and floor [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Although Writers’ Theatre is celebrating its twentieth anniversary season, it only began performing musicals a few seasons ago and with mixed results. But with William Brown on board to direct an all-new production of Stephen Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music” perfectly suited to its intimate stage, Writers is giving us a musical production worthy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Tom Stoppard’s “Arcadia” is a play bursting with heavy themes and dichotomies, ranging from science versus literature to order versus chaos to thought versus feeling. Though the action all takes place around one large table in an English country house (well-imagined by scenic designer Michelle Lilly), the time period repeatedly shifts between the early [...]]]></description>

Au Naturale’s production of Admiral Earth will feel like old hat to lovers of the nineties animated television show “Captain Planet”—it even includes a musical piece that both acknowledges the influence and scorns [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Journalist John Conroy’s laudable coverage of Chicago&#8217;s police torture scandal documented unspeakable cruelty as perpetrators went free. Yet the tale loses its impact when brought to the stage. Otha’s (Charles Gardner) murder interrogation kicks off a three-decade search for justice. We only partially see the effects on the families involved; Otha’s parents (Ora Jones and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED That director David Cromer has developed a reputation for an ability to work magic on even the most taken-for-granted shows made his interest in “Rent” particularly intriguing, to say the least. No ordinary show, part of the mystique of “Rent” was the stranger-than-fiction reality that the composer of this updated transposition of Puccini’s “La bohème” [...]]]></description>
