**** Highly Recommended **** "It Came From Outer Space" is a new musical by Joe Kinosian and Kellen Blair (the people who wrote Murder for Two). It’s a takeoff on Universal’s 1953 3-D movie starring Richard Carlson and Barbara Rush. Now considered a classic of science fiction cinema, "It Came From Outer Space" is based on a Ray Bradbury film treatment called "The Meteor". "It Came From Outer Space" is a clever comedy, with lots of campy melodrama, tongue-in-cheek dialog, physical humor, slapstick and puns that will make you groan. I loved it! 4 BIG Spotlights

★★★★★Over the many years I have been reviewing theater, I have probably seen over 15 different and unique productions of “The Wizard of Oz”, a shortened version of the 1939 Warner Brothers ( distributed by MGM) film that was based on a book called “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”. The film version truly made Judy Garland a name that will always be remembered, as this classic film seems to be on TV at least once a year.
★★★★★ August Wilson has brought some amazing stories to the stages of America. His works explore the heritage of the African-American population in relation to their lives in America over the course of the 20th century, and the plays are called The American Century Cycle ( each play is a different and unique decade). “Fences” his third of the ten play “cycle” is about Troy Maxson ( played to perfection by Kamal Angelo Bolden) who was a ball player in the Negro League. In fact, one might call him a star in that league.
