Review: The Rocky Horror Show
I was a Sophomore in college the first time I watched the movie version. My best friend Julie brought over this VHS with a big pair of lips on the cover, and she promised that my life would never again be the same. I settled in and watched--determined to find the meaning, understand the symbolism and waited for that moment when every odd thing I was watching would suddenly be explained, make sense. I didn't heed Frank-N-Furter's advice; I didn't simply "give myself over to absolute pleasure." When it ended, I was perplexed. I watched it again the next week, didn't think too hard, and something finally soaked in. Julie was right; my life was never the same.

A Golden Anniversary for ‘Raisin’
ABCT Proudly Presents the 50th Anniversary Production of Lorraine Hansberry’s landmark dramatic play, A Raisin in the Sun

50 years ago, an unheralded drama by an unknown playwright opened on Broadway. Since its debut, Raisin has become a permanent fixture in the theatrical world. The Washington Post hails it as “one of a handful of great American plays – it belongs in the inner circle, along with Death of a Salesman, Long Day's Journey Into Night and The Glass Menagerie.” “Never before in the entire history of the American theater had so much of the truth of Black people’s lives been seen on the

A CALL GIRL...
AND A LITTLE BLUE PILL!
The Jefferson Performing Arts Society kicks off its 32nd Season with the regional premiere of VIAGARA FALLS!
David Jacobs and Dane Rhodes star in the comedy VIAGARA FALLS in Teatro Wego! in Westwego
There are laughs aplenty in VIAGARA FALLS, A NEW COMEDY PLAY about the waning days of physical pleasure for two widowers and best friends, Charley Millhouse (played by Dane Rhodes) and Moe Crubbs (played by David Jacobs). On the night of his seventy-seventh birthday, Charley decides that what he and Moe need more than a balloon and a birthday cake is a fling (perhaps the last) with two "ladies of the evening." When only one girl, Jacqueline Tempest (played by Cindy Marinangel), a beautiful and sympathetic $100 per hour happy-hooker arrives assuring them she is enough girl for both of them, comedy ensues with rapid fire jokes and vaudevillian sensibility that is both hilarious and heart-warming! VIAGARA FALLS is warm, sentimental, sexy and full of good clean fun that will have audiences rolling in the aisles from start to final curtain! VIAGARA FALLS is
