reviews - LITTLE WARS - Arizona Women's Theatre Company
 |
| KatiBelle Collins and Kathi Osborne photo by Laura Durant |
Click here for more information on this production that runs through July 8th.
"Steven Carl McCasland's Little Wars, which presents an imaginary meeting between such well-known, historical literary figures as Gertrude Stein, Lillian Hellman, Dorothy Parker, and Agatha Christie, is an intriguing drama that blends fact and fiction and takes place in France right before Hitler invaded. The play is receiving its Arizona premiere from Arizona Women's Theater Company in a well-cast and astutely directed production...McCasland's script is well plotted and his dialogue is realistic, with each woman delivering lines that are in distinct voices and are character specific. There is also an abundance of nuance in each of the characters....However, there is a good amount of artistic liberty taken in the piece...Joy Bingham Strimple...has directed her cast to deliver realistic portrayals of these incredibly strong women. As Stein, KatiBelle Collins is bossy, authoritative and argumentative. Yet we also see from Collins' assured performance the love, trust and passion Stein feels for not only Toklas and her work but for all of these women. Her monologue, when she ponders "Why am I not normal?" is not only very well written but incredibly well delivered. Kathi Osborne's no-nonsense approach to Hellman creates a character infused with realism, strength and power. ....While some of the characters as depicted are slightly sanitized from reality, the piece is full of honest emotions and presents many difficult topics. It is a powerful play that depicts the strength, vulnerabilities and power of these famous women set against the dangerous realities of Hitler's Germany while also focusing on topics such as rape, misogyny and homophobia, which are, unfortunately, still relevant today.

SEUSSICAL, JR. - East Valley Children's Theatre - September 27-October 7, 2018
Book by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, Music by Stephen Flaherty, Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, Conceived by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty and Eric Idle, Based on the Works of Dr. Seuss; Music Supervised, Adapted and Produced by Bryan Louiselle
The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child who thinks too many “thinks.” Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, and kidnapping, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant. Seussical is fun for the whole family!

All Puppet Players' 2018 / 2019 Season!
October 5-27, 2018
The very first summer blockbuster gets the low-fi treatment as the All Puppet Players punch their way through another glorious duct-taped extravaganza. Their patented plethora of pop-culture references, ludicrous audience interactions, and financially lacking sets will bring the story of the small town hunted by a big ol' shark to life! It's sure to bring joy and laughter to everyone willing to go back into the water. We're gonna need a bigger stage!
November 30-December 29, 2018
Yippie Ki-Yay, puppet lovers! The holiday hit is back and ready for some more holiday cheer! What do you get when you cross the definitive holiday action movie with All Puppet Players brand of fast, fury, funnied-frenzy? You get an instant holiday classic!
While most families will deposit their holiday cheer with Scrooge and friends, the All Puppet Players are offering an alternative that includes a puppet Bruce Willis, a battle for Nakatomi Plaza and tons of pop-culture references to hang nice and cozy over your fireplace.
John McClane tries to save his wife and several others from master criminal Hans Gruber during a Christmas party. Nothing is safe and no holiday memory unsoiled while the puppets wreak havoc on Christmas (Yay, we said it) and bring the holiday spirit to all good little boys and girls. There’ll be caroling, and gun-fights, curse words, and all the puppet anarchy you can shake a yule log at. Enjoy the newest holiday tradition! Welcome to the party, pal!
February 1-February 23, 2019
Two figures meet on a lonely stretch of road in the middle of nowhere. Nothing happens, nothing is certain and there’s never anything to do. Sound boring? Not when the All Puppet Players lampoon absurdist theatre and prove that nothing means anything… and anything means EVERYTHING. Confused? Exactly!
This nonsensical-tomfoolery abandons logical construction, rational thought, and intellectually usable arguments to prove that irrationality, self-awareness, and puppets are a lethal combination when someone tries to assign meaning to them.
April 5-27, 2019
Howdy Partners! The All Puppet Players aim their sights on the western genre as they bring you the rootinest- tootinest show on stage! A quick-draw competition sets the stage for a gaggle of homicidal maniacs, insane humans, and a downright hilarious cast of characters, all hoping for victory and unspoiled riches. Among them is a mysterious lady, with ties to the town and seeking vengeance. To settle a long-tallied score, she must battle the band of unruly outlaws and face the cold-blooded gunslinger holding the town and her past captive. Watch and laugh as puppets and humans are infused into this celebrated genre for a show packed with sight gags, yee-haws, outrageous plot twists, audience participation and pure puppet anarchy! So grab your boots, chaps, and cowboy hats and come see the weirdest thing on stage since Paint Your Wagons.
Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM, plus additional Thursday at 8PM performance the final week of each run
Performance held at Playhouse on the Park at Central Arts Plaza
1850 N. Central Ave.
Phoenix, AZ 85004
Venue is across the street from Phoenix Theatre's campus

WARNING! All Puppet Players shows are for mature audiences with exceedingly immature tastes- (although tasting is not recommended due to risk of fur balls) no one under 17 years of age will be permitted. Shows contain strong adult language and situations. Puppets can be unpredictable—so if you are of a sensitive nature or are easily offended—puppets don’t care.

Book by Joe DiPietro
Inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley
Directed by Dave Chorley
Elvis Presley and William Shakespeare proudly present All Shook Up, a toe-tapping reinvention of the classic Twelfth Night. It’s the summer of 1955 and a square little Midwestern town gets “all shook up” when the smooth talking, motorcycle riding, fresh-out-of-jail Chad arrives. Natalie, the local mechanic, falls head over heels for this singing stranger, and decides that the best way to get close to him is to disguise herself as an equally-cool dude, “Ed.” Meanwhile, chaos ensues as the whole town gets caught up in a madcap chase to woo their respective loves and shake off the iron will of their strict Mayor. Featuring iconic songs such as “Jailhouse Rock,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Love Me Tender,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and, of course, “All Shook Up.”

Directed by Chris Hamby

THE RED VELVET CAKE WAR - TheaterWorks - October 26-November 11, 2018
Directed by Dominik Rebilias
In this riotously funny Southern-fried comedy, the three Verdeen cousins—Gaynelle, Peaches, and Jimmie Wyvette—could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. Their outrageous antics have delighted local gossips in the small town of Sweetgum and the eyes of Texas are upon them, as their self-righteous Aunt LaMerle is quick to point out. They face an uphill battle as a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gathers on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season. Things spin hilariously out of control when a neighbor’s pet devours everything edible, a one-eyed suitor shows up to declare his love, and a jaw-dropping high-stakes wager is made on who bakes the best red velvet cake.

Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole.

With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity.
