Reno Stage Scene; ‘Men on Boats’ at GLM
Men on Boats is the true-ish story of ten explorers on four boats taking on an epic adventure down the Colorado River. John Wesley Powell, a one-armed war veteran, and accomplished explorer, led this group of brave adventurers through the uncharted wilds of the as-of-yet un-named canyon that was to become the Grand Canyon.

Reno Stage Scene; ‘Keely and Du’ at GLM
Keely and Du is an intensely somber play that, on the surface, is about abortion, but with deeper flavor notes in this captivating story. Powerful and thought-provoking Keely and Du is much more than just entertainment.

I want to give my heartfelt thanks and admiration to everyone in the Reno Theater Community for their tireless work and energy to entertain us. The passion for their craft is apparent in every performance. These performers and creators take us to places of joy, fantasy, and even sorrow, much to the delight of their audiences.

Backstage Review: ‘Evil Dead’ at Good Luck Macbeth
GLM’s production of “Evil Dead” (musical) takes parts of many of the Evil Dead movie franchises, combines them, and adds live music with singing and dancing to go with the blood and dismemberment. If you think that sounds good, then you would be right.

Backstage Review: ‘Noises Off’ at At Good Luck Macbeth
To understand Noises Off it helps to know Murphy’s Law and O’Toole’s Commentary on Murphy’s Law aka O’Toole’s Corollary. Murphy’s Law says if anything can go wrong, it will. O’Toole’s Corollary says Murphy was an optimist. And if the purpose of theater is to hold a mirror up to ourselves so we can see clearly who and what we are then Noises Off tells us we are all doomed.

Backstage Review: ‘Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge’
The Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Future leads us through a futile attempt to redeem intensely practical Scrooge. Of course, it doesn’t work. She (the Ghost) is a hopeless underachiever. She transports us from time to time and place to place and invariably ends up somewhere other than her intended destination. But Scrooge is irredeemable. He hates Christmas. Durang divides Mrs. Cratchit into two, a nice Mrs. Cratchit married to Bob Cratchit and a nasty Mrs. Cratchit who keeps trying to kill herself by jumping off London Bridge. Scrooge, bah humbugging his way through the play, falls in love with nasty Mrs. Cratchit. Who woulda thunk? But, it seems like a perfect match.

Backstage Review: “Monessen Falls” At Good Luck Macbeth
We all go through stages in life. Shakespeare knew it. So does our author Greg Burdick. We are born, go through youth, our teen years, young adulthood, and finally maturity. Hopefully, at that time, we have learned to exercise good judgment. That good judgment comes from wisdom, but wisdom comes from bad judgment. We make mistakes on the road to maturity and wisdom. Society forgives us our feckless years because we all go through them. It is natural just as it is to forgive the errors of youth.
