**** Highly Recommended **** Every family has their own holiday traditions.  In my family it was A Christmas Story, my children’s favorite Christmas movie.  No matter how many times I see this nostalgic story, I always laugh!  “You’ll shoot your eye out” has become a family catchphrase.  Over the years it has become one of my favorite plays, although I was never all that fond of the musical.  Marriott Theatre’s production of A Christmas Story: The Musical has changed my mind!  4 BIG Spotlights

**** Recommend **** As I’ve come to expect, TimeLine Theatre’s intense production of Trouble in Mind is both historical in content and timely in impact.  Since it was based on playwright Alice Childress’s own experiences with racism and sexism in theater, it resonates as if it were true.  Powerful performances, particularly by Shariba Rivers as actress, Wiletta Mayer, and Tim Decker as Al Manners, a dictatorial director, bring depth to the story.  A back stage drama isn’t glamorous but it is definitely worth seeing.  3 ½ Spotlights
