The play has been blocked, lit, rehearsed and now all we need is an audience this coming Thursday, March 12th for the opening of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" at Buff State where Theater Talk co-host reverses roles in more ways than one. Now Anthony Chase will be on stage, not in the audience, playing "Lady Bracknell" in high heels, wig, and very stylish clothes. "Arrivals and Departures" by Alan Ayckbourn opened at the Kavinoky, and the other two openings were Nobel prize winning playwright Eugene O'Neill's "The Hairy Ape" at Torn Space and Steve Martin's "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" at ART In The Box on Linwood Avenue.
Patrick Marber's "After Miss Julie" (an update of August Strindberg's play) deals with the topic of class, an upper class and her lower class servant at the Irish Classical Theatre, through March 22.. And, in town for a short run, "The Illusionists" is a magic show, performed by younger players, but only for five performances, tonight through Sunday at Shea's.
