Tippecanoe County-Saturday December 14, 2019 at approximately 5:37 p.m. on I-65 northbound near the 174 mile marker (this is one mile south of the SR 25/175 exit), a trooper attempts to stop a speeding vehicle. 

***RECOMMENDED*** There are not very many jukebox musicals that have an actual working jukebox on the stage. "Always...Patsy Cline," which was created by Ted Swindley in 1988, is an early example of what a jukebox musical can be, long before that term was even widely used and the concept of taking well-known songs by popular recording artists and forming a narrative to build around them seemed to dominate nearly every other musical that was opening on Broadway from early 2000 until the present day. Firebrand Theatre's current production of "Always...Patsy Cline" features a vintage Wurlitzer that fits perfectly into this very charming and intimate version of the true story of one of Patsy Cline's biggest fans which has 27 of her greatest hits interwoven throughout the course of the evening's entertainment.  3 AND 1/2 SPOTLIGHTS

*** Recommended *** On the surface, “Greetings” looks like another “boy brings fiancée home for Christmas” story, but this interesting play about family ties has a plot twist you’ll never see coming!  Playwright Tom Dudzick, who grew up Catholic in Buffalo, New York, takes on death, prejudice and objective versus subjective reality, seasoning his Catholicism with a pinch of Judaism and a lot of New Age skepticism.  Although the ending is kind of corny and predictable, “Greetings” has a beautiful holiday message.  3 Holiday Spotlights   

**** Recommended **** Although it’s not exactly holiday fare, “The Tall Boy” really is a good play and well worth seeing on its own merits.  It’s also a rare opportunity to see New York actress (and daughter of Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn) Tandy Cronyn in a one-woman show.  It’s a poignant story about three boys, Army mascots, who desperately wanted to get to America.  3 ½ Spotlights
