GableStage’s Georgia McBride Is No Drag, Well, It Is, But….
One pleasure watching a drag show regardless of your sexual orientation is the vicarious joy of seeing people uncorset their secreted urges and find the liberating self-worth to parade it publicly. That is the unspoken strength underlying the delightful hoot , The Legend of Georgia McBride at GableStage
Infinite Abyss’ Brave Attempt To Wield Quills Isn’t Sharp Enough

Report From New York: Deja Vu All Over Again In Groundhog Day
The surprisingly delight-filled musical Groundhog Day is well worth seeing on Broadway but the script, music, lyrics and replicable staging (all Tony-nominated) are so strong, so inventive, so infectiously winning that this show will not only tour but will be a unexpected success on the road if word-of-mouth plays any part.

So see it now in New York because double acts of this quality don’t come around often.

Playwright Jen Silverman and her disparate characters all named Betty use the term to reinforce the liberating quality of having pride in female sexuality.
‘Never Play It Safe’ Is The Story Of Thinking Cap Theatre Before Regional Premiere of The Bettys
