'Confirmation'

entry by...jill     updated...Aug 31, '08     spoilers...none

I was completely confused, and I'm still not sure what I read or what it meant. However, like some Edward Albee plays, under strong direction, this play could be very funny and provoking, if staged. Six characters: 5 women, 1 man. The eldest is "Grandma," and the other characters are her 3 daughters, 1 son, and 1 outsider - the girlfriend of one of her children. Play is bizarre - but in a good way.

'Lust N Rust: The Trailer Park Musical'

entry by...jill     updated...Aug 09, '08     spoilers...minor

I expected this to be an ironic and satiric look at trailer parks and rednecks. It was neither. In fact, it was reminiscent of 1950's musical comedies, like "Pajama Game" with a country twang. The new boss takes up with the beautiful local girl and joins her (in her double-wide) in fighting the company overlords. Love prevails, and the jokes are okay. Haven't heard the music.

Show has 9 characters: 5 men, 4 women (all 20/30-something white roles, except for one older white man and one young black woman who sings "Caucasian Hair," an ode to her life-changing beauty parlor career choice.) There's a little swearing and a couple scenes that are wink-wink sexual, so it's not quite sanitized enough for most community theatres, but might play well in dinner theatre venues.

'Grace & Glorie'

entry by...jill     updated...Aug 09, '08     spoilers...none

Moving drama with many humorous touches; 2-character play with mature women roles (one is 90 years old, the other is somewhere between 32-54) who, as strangers, reveal their secrets to each other while the elder woman is waiting to die; the relationship between the two women reminded me of the central characters in "Fried Green Tomatoes" or a gender reversal of Tuesdays with Morrie.
