**** Recommended **** A Matter of Red Herrings. a mystery spoof produced by A Theater in the Dark, is a terrific new option for theater lovers.  You don’t have to go to a theater to enjoy it!  You listen to it! Just like an audio book or a podcast, you can listen wherever you are – at home, in your car, even while you’re working out!  You’ll be laughing in no time listening to all the bad puns and detective story clichés.  4 Spotlights

**** Highly Recommended **** Hell in a Handbag is one of my favorite Chicago theater companies.  Their unauthorized parodies of old black and white films and TV shows from the fifties are always packed with double entendres, puns, running sight gags and bad wigs.  Since I love Agatha Christie’s mysteries featuring Miss Marple, I was thrilled to see their latest effort, "A Fine Feathered Murder" featuring the always delightful Ed Jones as Miss Jane Marbled.  Playwright – and incredibly stylish Lady Violetta Fowler – David Cerda has written another hilarious tongue-in-cheek farce.  Be prepared for murder, mayhem and a lot of laughs.   4 BIG Spotlights
