They do a great job at engaging the youth in our community and put on a darn good show. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/balletblog3.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/balletblog3.html?12276 Thu, 2 Aug 2007 12:28:00 CST John McGivern puts on a good show. I learned this last night when I participated as a live audience member as MPTV taped "A Midsummer Night McGivern" for later broadcast. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/mcgivernjohn.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/mcgivernjohn.html?11982 Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:02:00 CST I took the trek out to Concordia University in Mequon Friday night to take in Acacia Theatre Company's show, "Deadheading Roses." http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/deadheading.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/deadheading.html?11624 Sat, 12 May 2007 09:16:00 CST The play did well in demonstrating that good theater doesn't depend on its set, because the stage had just a few simple chairs. The four actresses did an outstanding job of portraying their many characters and worked well together in effectively presenting a play that was both entertaining and thoughtful. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/stringofpearls.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/stringofpearls.html?11315 Sun, 8 Apr 2007 21:36:00 CST The choreography during certain numbers kept the actors so busy it was a wonder they could sing at all. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/smokeyjoes.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/smokeyjoes.html?11103 Mon, 19 Mar 2007 09:18:00 CST Next Act Theatre has a built its reputation on producing plays that get people talking and thinking, and I would agree that "Paradise" was successful in that role. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/paradiseblog.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/paradiseblog.html?10876 Thu, 15 Feb 2007 10:20:00 CST I went to the see "The Giver" at First Stage Children's Theater with a young friend of mine, and we both enjoyed the play immensely. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/thegiver2.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/thegiver2.html?10839 Sat, 10 Feb 2007 11:01:00 CST I was delighted to be able to share with my son Amaru the music of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra this past Sunday at its Kinderkonzert featuring Bob McGrath from Sesame Street. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/kinderkonzert.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/kinderkonzert.html?10713 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 17:29:00 CST Why does it matter what language you use, what words you choose to describe a thing? What if you refuse to use words at all? I guess this play raises a lot of questions. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/translationsblog.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/translationsblog.html?10646 Mon, 15 Jan 2007 11:29:00 CST I visited Hotcakes Gallery last night for a yoga class, and not surprisingly, found myself having an artistic experience as well as a physical and mental one. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/yogablog.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/yogablog.html?10220 Wed, 15 Nov 2006 18:49:00 CST "Gem of the Ocean" is the first in a series of 10 plays written by August Wilson, which feature the African American experience in each decade of the 20th century. I was blown away. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/gemoftheocean.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/gemoftheocean.html?10160 Wed, 8 Nov 2006 13:48:00 CST I finally made it over to see "Memory House" on Friday over at the Broadway Theatre Center. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/memoryhouse2.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/memoryhouse2.html?10141 Mon, 6 Nov 2006 18:04:00 CST
