NOTRE DAME SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL PREMIERES NEW ADAPTATION OF “HAMLET” || “Hamlet 50/50” brings a bold new perspective to one of Shakespeare’s greatest tales. || One of Michiana’s most celebrated summer events!

*** Recommended *** Kate Arrington’s new play, "Another Marriage", onstage in Steppenwolf’s newest space, is an interesting depiction of a relationship – the courtship, the marriage, the birth of a child, the girlfriend, the divorce, and the afterwards – all told from the teen daughter’s somewhat skewed perspective – of what she knew and what she guessed.  The relationship at the heart of Another Marriage is curiously superficial.  3 Spotlights

Join us this August in the hilltop town of San Gimignano transported to The Greenhouse Theater Center.

**** Recommended **** A big thank you to Writers Theatre for graciously allowing me to attend a performance of "A Distinct Society" near the end of the run.  It would have been a tragedy to miss this gripping human drama.  Based on a true story, this one-act play packs an emotional wallop!  I have to admit I had a tear or two in my eye at the end.  4 Spotlights
