**** Recommended **** I really enjoyed “An Evening with C.S. Lewis”, more than I thought I would.  A few years back I saw “C.S. Lewis Onstage: The Most Reluctant Convert” starring Max Mason, and was bored stiff.  Oh, no, another C.S. Lewis I thought.  I’m happy to say David Payne’s C.S. Lewis was entirely different, more personal.  His anecdotes were funny and quite delightful, his poems – or as he called them, little ditties – displayed a wry sense of humor.  3 ½ Spotlights

*** Recommended *** John Leguizamo’s “Latin History for Morons” is really, really funny, until it’s not, because, guess what?  We’re the morons!  When Leguizamo learned that his son’s history books completely ignored the contributions of Latins, he decided to do something about it.  I actually did learn a few things over the course of the evening.  3 Spotlights
