		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED “In The Continuum,” a play by Danai Gurira and Nikkole Salter, gives two black women at opposite ends of the social spectrum and opposite ends of the earth a voice in the conversation about HIV/AIDS. With an optimism about its timely relevance, Pegasus Players has brought the well-received play back to Chicago after a 2007 staging at the [...]]]></description>

		<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>

Incubating and presenting the creative gifts of her company members is nothing new to Margi Cole, who [...]]]></description>

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>
