The Best Of Times Is Now: Memorable Moments Of 2014
Here’s a look back at 2014 including a very subjective subjunctive reductive list of outstanding shows, performances and developments guaranteed to make someone unhappy they were not on the list. Take comfort in that there was so much good work that this is the crème de la crème de menthe.
Speaking Verse Needs Work, But Outre’s Othello Is Praise-Worthy Undertaking From Outre
Audiences need to savor the undeniable virtues of local Shakespearean productions — even when counter-balanced by well-intentioned but equally undeniable shortcomings. Such is the case with the laudable Outré Theatre Company production of Othello imaginatively directed by Christina Groom and featuring Troy Davidson in a persuasive central performance.

Broward Stage Door, Outre Theatre Company and Slow Burn Theatre Company have agreed to honor some of the tickets sold to patrons of The Plaza Theatre which shuttered late last month in Manalapan.
Outre’s Nightmarish ‘Back Of The Throat’ Exposes How Post 9/11 Paranoia Allows Abuses
The temptation is to describe the nightmarish Back of the Throat as Kafkaesque as Outré Theatre Company depicts an America gone mad. But it’s not. That’s the real horror.

Outre Kills It With Bleak, Minimalist True-Crime Musical
Thrill Me, a stunning musical about the child murderers Leopold and Loeb, closes out Outre Theatre Company’s season with a two-man, one-act piece noteable for offbeat immediacy and barebones potency of a feverish fringe festival favorite.
Outré’s Mr. Marmalade Is An Acquired Taste, Perfect for Savvy Theatergoers

Bored? 10 Openings This Week And 5 Next Week, 4 Last Week And That’s Not All, Folks
In addition to the two major productions still running that opened earlier this month and the four productions that opened last week, there will be 10 – count ‘em 10 – productions opening this week, not to mention five more opening the following week.
Carbonell Nominations Honor New And Struggling Companies
The nominations for Carbonell Awards honoring theatrical excellence in South Florida released today provide some interesting material for observers to chew over. The nominations seem to depict a very healthy year for musicals and a less impressive number of new works produced, quality notwithstanding. The standout element was the large number of nominations honoring young and/or struggling companies.
