Chihuahua needed! {Beck Center}
by Scott Spence 19 Feb '19

19 Feb '19

Nope!! Not for "Legally Blonde" {been there~~done that} This is for a production of "*Lady Day at Emerson Bar and Grill*" starring Nicole Sumlin as Billie Holiday. The dog appears very briefly (2 minutes onstage?) towards the end of the 90 minute show. So please know there's not a lot of "stage time" per se. We are looking for a dog (and owner!) who are extremely even tempered and would be comfortable being led on a leash and held (the dog---not the owner). The dog will come in contact with two actors onstage and an ASM backstage. We would need to have the dog for a minimum of one rehearsal (preferably two) prior to Thursday's Preview on March 14th. Beyond Preview the schedule is March 15th thru April 14th, Fri/Sat evenings and Sunday afternoons. $150 is offered for gas compensation. Please send questions, inquiries and notes of interest to Artistic Director Scott Spence at scottdavidspence(a)gmail.com (from the owner, that is--- unless the dog has terrific typing skills.)

Review: Witness for the Prosecution , Hanna Theatre, February 15 to March 10, Great Lakes Theatre
by Laura Kennelly 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

Witness for the Prosecution Review by Laura Kennelly Most people might hesitate to be chosen for jury duty. But at the Hanna Theatre during the run of *Witness for the Prosecution*, it’s an entertaining option for brave audience members who wish to volunteer for onstage seating. Great Lakes Theater’s artistic director Charles Fee directs this latest incarnation of Agatha Christie’s 1953 drama. (The most famous version of *Witness* may be the 1957 film version starring Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton). [Snip] BOTTOM LINE: An old-fashioned talky courtroom drama, well-executed by a good cast in both major and minor roles. The play itself, however, seems extremely sedate as written and so despite some rather well-done high drama that flares out all too briefly, I want more.
