Dangerous Curves Ahead at Phoenix Theatre
July 29, 2008
The Phoenix Performing Arts Centre is proud to present Paula Vogel’s Pulitzer Winning play “How I Learned To Drive”. This powerful and surprisingly humorous look at one woman’s tale of survival and her eventual empowerment looks back in forgiveness on a seven-year relationship with her uncle. Together they have traveled to the darkest, most intimate and unspoken of places. How I Learned To Drive is the story of this young woman whose coming-of-age in the 1960s and 70s is defined by driving lessons provided by her uncle, lessons which extend well-beyond learning the rules of the road. A beautifully crafted story unfolds her memories with breathtaking insight, wit and warmth.

Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre Announces Auditions for EVITA
July 19, 2008
Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre announces auditions for their 86th season opening production of EVITA.
Argentina’s controversial First Lady is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece. As an illegitimate fifteen year old, Eva escaped her dirt-poor existence for the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, she was a starlet at twenty-two, the president’s mistress at twenty-four, First Lady at twenty-seven, and dead at thirty-three. Eva Peron “saint to the working-class, reviled by the aristocracy and mistrusted by the military” was destined to leave a fascinating political legacy unique in the 20th century. Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, pop and jazz influences, EVITA creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself.
