Lincolnesque by John Strand
AtticRep in Residence at Trinity University (website)
Leo is a Capitol Hill speechwriter struggling to stay employed. His brother Francis is a psychiatric outpatient convinced that he is the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln. Leo's employer, a stunningly mediocre congressman, looks headed for defeat in his re-election bid.

Sideshow A Musical by Bill Russell & Henry Krieger
Sheldon Vexler Theatre (website)
This Broadway musical was inspired by the lives of Daisy and Violet Hilton, who were “San Antonio Siamese Twins” and who were stars of vaudeville during the Depression. The story is a moving portrait of two women joined at the hip whose extraordinary bondage brings them fame but denies them love. The musical follows them on their quest for fame from a seedy sideshow to Vaudeville to the eve of their move to 1932 Hollywood and their desperate desire to be “normal”.

Private Eyes by Steven Dietz
Boerne Community Theatre (website)
Private Eyes is a maze of suspicion in which nothing is ever quite what it seems. Matthew's wife, Lisa, is having an affair with Adrian, a British theatre director. Or perhaps the affair is part of the play being rehearsed. Or perhaps Matthew has imagined all of it simply to have something to report to Frank, his therapist. And, finally, there is Cory—the mysterious woman who seems to shadow the others—who brings the story to its surprising conclusion. Or does she? The audience itself plays the role of detective in this "relationship thriller" about love, lust and the power of deception. Rated R for adult situations and language

The Star-Spangled Girl comedy by Neil Simon.
Harlequin Dinner Theatre (website)
This fast moving, hilarious comedy deals with two earnest young men struggling to put out a protest magazine and the all-American girl who moves in next door and manages to send both of them into a romantic tail-spin. She is an Olympic swimmer from the South who pays a good neighbor visit. And while she is convinced that they are editing a subversive magazine, our heroine soon finds that her real source of annoyance is that the wrong man is pressing his attention on her.

Blood Under the Bridge: The Last Redemption of Saddam H Written by Doyle Avant
Jump-Start Performance Co. (website)
Due to a surge in deaths from unnatural disasters, a new branch of Purgatory has opened up in the historic Ambassador Hotel –the site of Robert Kennedy’s assassination and now a seedy nightclub-brothel awaiting the end of the world. Audience members will pass through military checkpoints and tight security at the door before entering a luridly ethereal world filled with delicious pole dancers, Marina Oswald Jr., Sirhan Sirhan and a host of real and imaginary walk-ons from history. Inside, they will follow the bossa-nova singing anti-hero Saddam as he battles with bartenders, strippers, the mysterious El Presidente and his own demons. A surreal surround-sound spectacular de teatro, Blood Under the Bridge is an action-packed meditation on war, plague, immigration and other sensual tsunamis. Part of the Electric Performance Lab. There will be post-show discussions with the artists on May 10 & 17th.

~Phone: (210) 227-5867 Darfur Calls by Michael Hardy, Kathleen Kardon, and Rachelle Neuman
The Temple Beth-El Players
The Beth-El Players will be performing their original play, Darfur Calls, about the genocide in Sudan, Africa on May 14, at 7:00 PM at Barbara Bush Middle School, 1500 Evans Rd. The play was written by Michael Hardy, Kathi Kardon, and Rachelle Neuman, and it has now been seen at three different venues around town with very positive response. As a Jewish production company, we feel that the words "Never again" used so many times since the Holocaust, have too often been empty words, and this is one small way we hope to make a difference for the people of Darfur. Our play is free and open to the public, but we gladly accept donations which go directly to the relief effort.
Cast: Michael Hardy, Abby Efron, Kitty Williams, Dan Klein, Jasper Klein, Denise Swain, Chuck Woodruff, JoAnn Woodruff, Lucy Briggs, Jaclyn (Gaz) Garcia, Daniel Laser, Kathi Kardon, Diana Samuels, David Monteith, BreeAnn Ashley, Karma, Jasmine Brown, Tatiana Brown, with t-bow Gonzales on drums.

Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose
New Braunfels Theatre Company (website)
What appears to be an open-and-shut murder case becomes anything but. Twelve very different men have found themselves as jurors in a murder trial in the late 50s. As evidence is examined, so too are the jurors themselves. Attempting to uncover the truth of the murder also forces its judging participants to examine their own, raw truths.
Cast: Director: Ryla Wolfe
Location: 290 W. San Antonio, New Braunfels, Texas (Map)
Dates: August 1 - 17, 2008
