Takes All Kinds
Just as he has done in a long list of highly acclaimed, one person shows that he has written and performed and that have graced multiple stages across the country and the globe (Border People, Each and Every Thing, The Real Americans, Tings Dey Happen), Dan Hoyle has once again created a must-see winner. His latest tour de force in both writing and performing is Takes All Kinds, now reopening after its 2024 premiere at his home away from home, The Marsh.
Fat Ham
James IJames’ award for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Fat Ham, is definitely a modern version of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy, Hamlet. Even though all the original, main characters show up in some version among all the grilled meats and freshly baked cornbread, this particular tragedy quickly swings big time into a comedy with a capital “C.”
Wild with Happy
With an audaciously stellar cast under the sensitive and sensational direction of ShawnJ West, New Conservatory Theatre Center intermingles comedy with drama along some hot romance to ensure audiences exit with big sighs and smiles, everyone being Wild with Happy.
