Theater Outing-Ann Anbor June19-July27


I found this while I was searching for things to do in June. I have seen other plays by this company and they are Fantastic.




"The Little Dog Laughed": Performance Network Professional Season. Every Thursday-Sunday, June 19-July 27. Ray Schultz directs Douglas Carter Beane's Tony-nominated 2006 comedy of manners about a Hollywood agent hot on getting the film rights to a new play for her client, a sexually confused up-and-coming actor afflicted with what she calls a "slight recurring case of homosexuality." The play has won praise for the subtlety and zing of its richly comic dialogue and for what New York Times theater critic Ben Brantley calls "an expressly theatrical energy that finds the verbal music and rhythm in Hollywood-style hypocrisy." Stars Roxanne Wellington, Bart Bund, Jacob Hodgson, and Chelsea Sadler. Performance Network, 120 E. Huron. Preview tickets: whatever you can afford to pay (June 19), $20 (June 20, 22, & 26), and $28 (June 21). June 27 opening night tickets: $42 includes reception.

My daily walk -Milwaukee Kite festival


theater Outing-Milwaukee





This is Mr. Sloane. Mr. Sloane is what some people might call a "Rent Boy." He is currently looking for a place to say, and so he throws himself upon the kindness of brother and sister Kath and Ed. Both Kath and Ed want to do more than just "entertain" Mr.Sloane, and they are willing to destroy each other to get what they want. But when Kath and Ed's old Dad finds out that Mr. Sloane is not a very nice boy, trouble ensues!




Off the wall Theater in Milwaukee is now playing Entertaining Mr. Sloane, written by Joe Orton.
Joe was in the who's who set in 60's London until he was stab to death by his lover/co dependent. The story was into the remarkable movie Prick up your ears.


Entering Mr. Sloane is playing until June 1st.

here is a link to their web site http://www.offthewalltheatre.com/
In July they are having the Midwest premier of Steven Sondheim's Frog's.

Pepper Potts thanks you










I seen Iron Man the movie last night it was great. Thanks god everyone involved in movie were smart enough to keep Pepper Potts (Tony Starks-personal assistance) real. Somewhere in the 70's in a effort to made female character more complex they were all turned them into shrews or victims. When I was growing-up the invisible girl was the heart of the Fantastic Four-Not Anymore, now she's-well a Bitch. Mary Jane was outgoing who seen something wonderful in the loner/misfit Peter Parker no one else seen-now she whines-Alot . CatWoman was a spoiled socialite with a spit personality today she is rape -abuse survivor.I can't help but wonder why any superhero or a supermarket baggier would find anyone of them attractive.

Virginia (pepper) Potts was played wonderfully by Gwyneth Paltrow. I could understand completely why Tony Stark would fall for her-hell I was in love with her before the movie had ended. For the record she was complex enough. In one scene she manged to tell Mr. Stark off and he appeared more relieved then upset. Great writing and great acting -Great movie
