The Show Goes On
Enough of the Studio Arena Theatre blues, at least for now. There's plenty of other promising theater in this town coming up quick, so let's dive back into the fray:
This weekend, we'll see the New Phoenix Theatre's production of "Fool For Love," directed by Kelli Bocock-Natale and starring Lisa Ludwig and Brian Riggs as a half-brother and half-sister involved in a steamy, illicit love affair. If that description isn't enticing enough, then feast your eyes on this:
Yowza.
Over at the Kavinoky Theatre, which just announced it would be offering free tickets to its final two shows to Studio Arena Theatre subscribers, Mary Kate O'Connell will take the stage in "Glorious!" It's the story of Florence Foster Jenkins, the awful opera singer who sang her way into Carnegie Hall and beyond. Check out my story on the show in Friday's Gusto.
Though this is absolutely unrelated to the show, this YouTube video is set to the actual voice of the Jenkins herself. The puppets are just window dressing.
See you at the theater.
