As You Like It
“All the world’s a stage, and all men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.”

Bus Stop by William Inge at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
If you’ve only seen the movie version of “Bus Stop” starring Marilyn Monroe, you really haven’t seen “Bus Stop.” The play is intense and engrossing. The movie version spends about two thirds of the movie giving background information. It is lonely the last forty-five minutes or so that is …

Pirates of Penzance by Seattle G&S
I love the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. That’s not something people normally admit in polite company, but it’s true. If there were a 12 step program for G&S (that’s what those of us in the know call Gilbert and Sullivan), I’d be eligible to attend, but I wouldn’t. I …
