Theater Review: A Bur-Less-Q Nutcracker
Actually, I didn't intend that to read as an opposition or anything other than an instigation for analysis, and indeed comparison. My point is not that the relationship is nonexistent, but that the comparison is not one I would draw, being that they are of one genre, yet two drastically different executions. I am actually a die-hard Steve Martin fan, and - naturally - a MBS fan. The contrast is what I, as an observer more than director, most wanted to note: BBBC is a satirical romp (a great time to be had, as well) that is portrayed through farcical simile; almost all of Martin's stage plays are, contrarily, metaphoric farce, with a deep underlying moral propaganda. While I enjoy Martin's work severely, I do not intend to have thought our efforts were ever exerted with the M.O. that we should achieve anything other than a flat-out spoof with fun characters. Nothing deeper. Again, I enjoyed and appreciated the review, as I have with all of Alexi's reviews. I hope I cleared up any misconceptions perhaps caused by my response.

Steve Martin? No, not Steve Martin. I directed this show, and I am confused as to what aspect of Steve Martin's farcical style could possibly have been demonstrated in a pun/innuendo-laden script. Thanks for the review, but my gosh. Benny Hill, yeah, sure.

Theater Review: R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)
"Cut throat?" I've been in this business a long time. This isn't a cut throat review. Though there are a few "one liner" sucker punches which could have been pulled. First, I don't believe the show was worth watching, and second when you step on the stage you open up to scrutiny. Second, I think the actors took the brunt of what appears to be an almost complete lack of competent direction.



Dallas mayor’s church of choice causing flap in LGBT circles
Or a mayor who, at the very least, doesn't attend an organization that perpetuates misunderstanding and generalized hate towards LGBT people
