When the Berlin Wall came down, playwright Doug Wright found the
character and story of a lifetime: Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German
transvestite who survived the Second World War and the Cold War.

      <description><![CDATA[
&ensp;&ensp;"What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a
raisin in the sun?" Lorraine Hansberry took the title of her landmark
play from that question, posed by poet Langston Hughes. It encapsulates
the desperation clouding the lives of the family at the center of the

"The best of all castles in the best of all countries in the best of

The late, great Janis Joplin sang with reckless abandon. And it's
that quality that makes Livin' Janis, Dorian Rush's tribute to
the rock idol, so compelling. Rush wrote and stars in the piece,
capturing Joplin's irresistible if doomed allure.

Here in Who Dat country, we know how frustrating it can be to follow

Appropriating a werewolf tale on the eve of Halloween is a difficult
proposition, but what ArtSpot Productions and Mondo Bizzaro's Loup

howling, soul-searching torment set against a backdrop of south
Louisiana folklore and City...]]></description>

Playing linebacker in the NFL may be less perilous than playing in a
string quartet. Or so one imagines after seeing Michael Hollinger's
Opus. Hollinger should know, since he was a violist before he
became a playwright.

A rock opera trying to be grand opera can be a stretch. Le Petit

was more comfortable with the unshackled fun of musical theater than
the tragedy of doomed love and dynastic cabals. Elton John wrote the
music and Tim Rice penned th... By Dalt Wonk.]]></description>

Ken Davenport's My First Time proves talk about sex can be
