Talkin’ In The Green Room With Myself (And Patti Gardner Etc.)
When actress Patti Gardner suggested that it would only be fair if I was on the receiving end of a Green Room questionnaire, I took refuge in the journalist’s centuries-old rationalization : .” just like to watch.” But she persisted with a single-mindedness that would make Christiane Amanpour envious, to the point of collecting questions from folks across the profession.

BRTG’s Chicago Is Entertaining But Needs More Razzle Dazzle
A muted clarinet makes beautiful music, but sometimes what’s called for is the blare of a clarion trumpet and the insolent snap of a snare drum. That’s the problem facing the almost but never quite satisfying Boca Raton Theatre Guild production of the Kander & Ebb musical Chicago.

But the laughs peter out because of less stellar performances from the two male actors who dampen what should be an effervescent comedy.

Women’s Theatre Project Rises Again In Boca Raton
When The Women’s Theatre Project leaders announced in February that they had lost their performing space in Fort Lauderdale, some pessimists feared its unique voice would slide into limbo.
