It is a big challenge in these days of vast electronic options and attention spans of gnats to keep an audience engaged in an important story. Bonnie Monte and the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey take this challenge and tie it in a pretzel knot with their production of Molière’s “The Misanthrope.” This show is more than 200 years old and has a lot to say in a world dedicated to “The Bachelor” and “Desperate Housewives.” Read more

As soon as the plane touched ground in Orlando, four best friends, all reflected one great, sun-glassed big smile: Gay Days at Disneyland!
June 4 marked the 21st year that The Magic Kingdom declared Gay Day.

A black and white film is showing when the lights come up on Alliance Repertory’s production of Bruce Graham’s “According to Goldman.” Gavin Miller (Kevin Gilmartin) looks like a kindly next-door-neighbor type from Central Casting. At present, he’s a college instructor teaching film writing to a group of greenhorns. When he begins with the statement, “I can teach you how to write a good script, or one that will sell,” you know to fasten your seatbelts … the ride will indeed be bumpy.
Gavin’s wife Melanie (Angela Della Ventura) does her best to get her crun-chewy luftmensch to commit to their home. She’s the local welcome wagon and a motherly type, though she and Gavin don’t have children. She’s hopeful they will finally put down roots somewhere that won’t poison her husband’s soul. Read more
