**** Recommended Shrek is a tongue-in-cheek, irreverent, slightly twisted, very Green take on all the fairy tales you heard as a child. It’s fun, it’s funny, it’s colorful and very over-the-top! At approximately 2 ½ hours, it might run a little long for younger children. 4 Spotlights.
**** Recommended Although I’d seen Dial M for Murder, a 1954 movie starring Grace Kelly, Ray Milland and Robert Cummings, many years ago, I don’t think I’d ever seen the play. Northlight Theatre’s production is clever, stylish and sophisticated but it’s also something of an anachronism, considering that at least a third of the audience has never used a dial telephone. 4 Spotlights
