I can't believe I haven't written a review about Forward Theater Company yet. I fear that this…read morereview will not adequately express my love for this company. But nonetheless, I will try. In short: Forward Theater Company presents professional, modern, progressive plays, and IT IS AWESOME! I first became aware of Forward because my roommate was their technical director. He invited me to see the play he had been working on and gave me a ticket that had been reserved for him. I love theater so I was excited to go, but had only ever really seen productions I was already familiar with (Shakespeare, Broadway stuff etc). I went in with a open mind, but wasn't totally sure what to expect. The first play I saw was From Up Here by Liz Flahive, which is partially set in a modern day high school (so it included some amateur actors as well as professional). I was BLOWN AWAY. Literally moved to tears. The set, sound, actors, script, we're all amazing. Despite the fact that I had been given a free ticket, I paid for a ticket to see that show again. I've made it a point to see every Forward show since and have never been disappointed. With modern themes (sometimes slightly provocative) I find the plays to be extremely engaging. So, I implore you -- Go see a show! You won't regret it.

So it was this weekend when we saw their production of "Blackbird" by David Harrower. With one act, one set, and two players throughout most of the play, Blackbird begins as a young woman comes to a late middle-aged man's workplace to confront him about their past relationship. We immediately see his discomfort and resistance, and through halting and intense dialog eventually find the nature of the beginning of their relationship, she at a per-pubescent 12 years and he a 40 year old neighbor. When she asks, "Did you abuse me?" the word "abuse" is nearly stifled as though it were someone else's descriptive, not hers. This is how the play unfolds with accusations met with explanations trying to disentangle what their lives were then and have become now. The set complements the messages, with the company's rules and policy tacked to a bulletin board, lockers to hold personal belongings, and garbage and used empty containers all around. It makes for a great metaphor for society's laws and taboos, the places where you hide away our personal "belongings," and the garbage and used, empty containers we produce and become. The garbage is everywhere and is slung both literally and metaphorically during the production. As Ray, Mark Snowden leaves us suspending our judgement, holding our breath, horrified at times, and wishing to be sympathetic at times. Ultimately, as new missing pieces are revealed, we are left not trusting whether there has been any real change in him. Una, played by Jocelyn Fitz-Gibbon, dusts every corner of the subject. What happens if a young person discovering their sexuality is not surrounded by responsible, emotionally mature adults? A child perceiving abuse as love and adventure, the revelation and perspective gained with age, and the questions and wonder about the nature of that relationship come out in painful, uncomfortable scenes. Una amazes and confounds us fluctuating between a spurned and jealous ex-lover and an abused and cautious past victim. Harrower illustrates the psychological damage of abuse in developmental stages of life, and the challenges to the victim's relationships with family, friends, and lovers. I cannot reveal the role of the other player in the show, spoilers. But all three gave breathtaking and breath-holding performances. The scene can and has happened everywhere, quietly or publicly, making the "anywhere" location of the show appropriate as we examine why these codes and taboos are in place and what happens in our lives and futures when they are broken. Thank you, Bricks, for another searching and thoughtful experience in theatre.

It's about time I wrote about the awesome Bricks Theatre! Last Friday I went to the show of…read more"That's What She Said" located at the Brink. I have gone to about 6 of their shows, and leave amazed at the performances every time! Each "That's What She Said" show have a theme to them. This last one was "Lie". There were 9 women who wrote personal stories about what they thought of when they heard the word Lie. Each woman had their own story. I'm continually amazed of the courage these women have by talking about situations that make them very vulnerable. You can connect with a part of each of their stories. It's a night full of laughter and tears. Amazing! The only downfall is that usually the Brink has a performance or something going on in the bar area, therefore it can be a little distracting with the background noise of that.

While I kind of forgot the first experience, I thought I'd give some tips. We did a Sunday morning. It said arrive at 10:30 for a show, 11:15 to dine, 1:15pm show start time. These are things to know! You just get your tickets at the box office. No QR codes. We arrived at 1115 to dine which everyone was getting seated which goes relatively quick. For a party of two, it's super easy. I think if you have larger groups, I'd consider calling in advance or showing up early to accommodate that. For someone who doesn't like to wait around, you could probably even show up later than 1115. Probably 1130 to dine for 45 minutes. Mind you, we had the buffet so it's not like we waited for our plated meals. That being said, they have a limited selection when you choose your seat. The food is mid. I'd rate it equivalent to attending a wedding. Don't expect anything spectacular. It's worth the experience once. We did the brunch and they have a wide array. It's like eating at a brunch buffet at a hotel. If you love Knick knacks, the gift shops are plenty full of them. We browse after just to kill time. Lots to look at. We've only sat on the top and we prefer it. Better vantage, not so many lights in your eyes, less people to be around. I'd aim for the middle sections of the seats on the balcony. Our first show we went to years ago had an intermission. The one we went to today did not, so just account for that. Fun experience. Would probably do it if the show interested me, but I wouldn't be coming here solely for the food.
