Auditions for THE CRUCIBLE at Actors PLAYground Theatre announced for July 19
One of the most acclaimed plays in the American theatrical canon, this exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem is a gripping and timely parable of contemporary society, as well as a studied historical tale. The story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife and a young servant-girl who maliciously causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie – and the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. The farmer, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned along with a host of others.

"Few musicals are as simultaneously baffling and entertaining as Cats. This phenomenon has always been a show that relies more on spectacle than on depth, and Arizona Broadway Theatre's production embraces those qualities wholeheartedly. While the plot is bare-bones and even somewhat bewildering at times, ABT's production succeeds thanks to a fantastic cast that throws themselves completely into the material. Their commitment, energy, and talented dance skills help offset many of the show's shortcomings.... director and choreographer Kurtis Overby understands exactly what makes Cats work and leans fully into its strengths. This production radiates joy, playfulness, and wonder from start to finish; even I, a Cats curmudgeon, had a smile on my face many times. Overby's choreography is vibrant and athletic, capturing both feline grace and theatrical flair, while the musical numbers are staged with creativity." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
"the original CATS is undeniably kitschy. It’s weird, and really a bit much, but that’s the fun of it. With its leg-warmers, spandex, and performers prowling around like interpretive dancers in heat, CATS should be a laughingstock to anyone with an ounce of sophistication. And yet, somewhere between the junkyard set of the cat’s domain (which in this production is moved to the outdoor, neon-lit scrapyard of Las Vegas) and the guaranteed tear-stained reprise of Memory, something happens. This oddball pageant has such confident silliness and innocent theatrical zest that it sweeps you up before you know what’s happening. The evening is fluff and nonsense, yes, but fluff and nonsense that knows exactly what it’s doing, and on ABT’s stage, it does it well." - David Appleford, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)

"The 1980s saw dozens of low budget horror films that went on to be huge hits. One of those, 1981's The Evil Dead, became a cult classic that inspired several sequels, TV shows, and even comic books and video games. It also was turned into a stage musical, aptly named Evil Dead The Musical. The creators wisely chose not to attempt to make the musical adaptation as horrifying as the film, since attempting to create horror on stage isn't an easy task, instead making it a campy, satirical lovefest to the original film and its two sequels. Fountain Hills Theater's production features a cast who throw themselves into the humorous onstage shenanigans, along with smart direction and wonderful creative elements, resulting in a comical and joyful two-hour romp that fans of the films and musical comedies are sure to enjoy." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
