American Tales
Antaeus Company unveils two marvelous adaptations of short stories by Mark Twain and Herman Melville.

Betrayal
Start to finish, this production lures us, enraptures us, pins us in our seats. With no false moments from the three-person cast, we're thrilled to be so close to the stage.

The Assassination of Heinrich Reinebach
Though the story is told compactly, in 65 minutes, the piece strays into moments of self-indulgence, and some plot elements strain credibility.

Recent Tragic Events
Director Demetria Fehst has her terrific cast well cued in to the immediacy of the now-7-year-old situation, reconstructing those shocking hours out of real time as if they were yesterday.

Shel Silverstein Uncensored!
This production will no doubt be a boon to fans of Silverstein's adult work, but I don't imagine it's going to generate any new ones.

The Voice of the Prairie
From top to bottom this production is heartfelt and heartwarming.
