Memorial Opera House's 2021 Mainstage Season presents Holiday Inn • The Musical

Lifeline Theatre presents a three-part audio drama adaptation of J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s gothic  novella Carmilla, adapted by ensemble member Aly Renee Amidei, directed by Scott Cummins. Young  Laura is sequestered in a remote castle in Eastern Europe when a fortuitous carriage accident delivers a  mysterious house guest, the bewitching Carmilla. While the young women begin to find themselves  entangled in forbidden desire, a series of unexplained, grisly murders befalls the neighboring village and  woods. Could the legends be true…or is it merely superstition?

**** Recommended **** I’m not a fan of country music, but Porchlight Music Theatre’s new production of "Pump Boys and Dinettes" is a toe-tappin’ good time.  "Pump Boys and Dinettes," one of my favorite feel-good musicals, is a guaranteed audience pleaser and perfect for a smaller venue.  If you’re looking for a good time, you’ll want to head over to the Ruth Page Center for a performance.  I give "Pump Boys and Dinettes" 4 Spotlights. 

**** Highly Recommended **** Sometimes a play comes around that just resonates!  "Remember This: The Lesson of Jan Karski" is one of those plays.  On a dark stage, one man, using his clothing, a desk and two straight chairs, recounts a harrowing journey through the horrors of war-torn Poland.  Here’s the thing that really resonated for me – Jan Karski (David Strathairn), was a real person – but the world forgot.  4 Spotlights
