Henry IV, Part II
Ashland, Oregon at the Oregon Shakespeare FestivalHenry IV, Part II by William Shakespeare The consistently inept directing of Shakespeare at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival is inexcusable. Artistic Director Bill Rauch is brilliant in his own handling of Shakespeare and is visionary about many, many aspects of the festival. But, his chronic hiring of weak, inexperienced directors for Shakespeare is pissing me off. The outdoor theater looked less than half full when we saw Henry. Get a clue, Bill.

It's like using your credit card and then saying it's unacceptable for the bank to tell you that you have a high balance that is increasing. Try telling the merchants not charge you for the things you've already purchased. Or, see what happens when you tell the bank to stop adding on the interest charges. [...]
Tales of the City
San Francisco, CA at the American Conservatory TheaterTales of the City World Premiere of a New Musical (Closes July 31, 2011 -- Limited Discount Tickets -- $45 orchestra -- available) Libretto by Jeff Whitty Music and Lyrics by Jake Shears and John Garden San Franciscans of a certain age all know exactly what the characters, scenes, and feel of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City are supposed to be. We remember reading the serialized stories in the Chronicle or soon thereafter, and even the mini-series versions haven't shaken our mental/emotional conviction of exactly how each main character is supposed to [...]
