St Petersburg City Theatre will open their 100th Season with a show that sums up the theatrical experience. PLAY ON! Is a comedy for the theater lover in all of us. Our plucky theater company is preparing to produce a new show called Murder Most Foul, a "murder mystery play" that shares its title with an Agatha Christie novel but is not related to it in any way. The director, Gerry, thought producing the play was a good idea since the inexperienced playwright has agreed to let the company perform the show for free. However, Gerry had no idea what disasters awaited her. The show is hilariously amateurish. The "murder mystery" plot does not actually feature a murder, and to top it off, the playwright keeps changing the story and script with only two days until the premiere! The disgruntled cast does not help matters, and the playwright accidentally deletes the entire sound effects board. All of these disasters come to fruition on opening night when the company performs the actual show, resulting in a series of hilariously disastrous mishaps.

Raleigh, NC

Set in the year 1595, Something Rotten! follows Nick & Nigel Bottom, two playwriting brothers who struggle to find success in the theatre as they compete with the wild popularity of their contemporary, William Shakespeare. As a way of competing, they both decided to create the world's first musical. When I reviewed the national tour of this show during its stop at DPAC in April of 2017, I said “This is a musical that I think is going to be very popular with schools, community, and regional theatres as soon as it becomes available for licensing.”

For nearly a year, Pauly Shore has expressed a desire to portray famed fitness instructor Richard Simmons in a biopic. Over the course of that year, Shore has offered updates on his mission. Usually, those updates took the form of Simmons asking him to stop, which Shore would refuse. This cycle has repeated a few times, and is apparently bound to continue, even after the death of Simmons in July.

Portsmouth, NH

From September 20-22, Portsmouth NH’s Pontine Theatre kicks off its 47th Season with performances of Odysseus by guest artist, William George, founding director of Pennsylvania’s Kingfisher Theatre. His latest creation is a fresh and intimate interpretation of the eternal Greek legend, The Odyssey. This timeless tale follows the mythical ten-year journey of one man, Odysseus, struggling to make his way home after the Trojan War. In a stage performance that is at once epic and “breath taking”—with live musical soundscapes performed by percussionist Rob Aptaker—this new solo work from William George, with directorial assistance from Gerard Stropnicky (co-founder of Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble) is a sensory experience and a once-in-a-decade theatre event not to be missed. The script, written by George, is drawn primarily from Alexander Pope’s 18th-century adaptation but is also influenced by several other translations of Homer’s epic work. The story may be ancient, but the themes ring true today—revealing deep insights not just about the psychic relationship between us all and the Divine, but also about fathers and sons, husbands and wives, and the profoundly human weaving of life and suffering in our lives. Performances are Friday 7pm, Saturday @3pm & Sunday @2pm. Purchase tickets at Pontine’s website: www.pontine.org.
