	KDHX Theatre Review - That Old Gang of Mine
		That Old Gang of Mine will continue its performance run in the theatre at the Missouri School for the Blind on Magnolia Avenue on Saturday March 24th at 8 PM and Sunday March 25th at 3 PM.
		That Old Gang of Mine could be categorized as a gay play, a friends play, a relationship play, or an Aids play but in some way it meets the criteria for all of these genres.
		There was also a large dark hole in the middle of the main playing area, which swallowed the actors when they entered into it.

	TIME.com Print Page: Nation -- That Old Feeling: Brooks to Broadway: Get Happy
		Brooks ignores the Holocaust and concentrates on turning Hitler and his gang into pompous comic-opera buffoons who are extra funny, in part, because they have no sense of humor.
		Brooks insinuates a subsidiary joke about actors: they are so desperate to get a role, any role, that they don't think twice about playing the leader of the Third Reich.
		And now here it is." The year is 1959; visible from Max office is a Manhattan skyline of landmarks that have since vanished: the Astor Roof, Lindy's, the Morosco Theatre, a billboard for the Doublemint Twins.

		What kinds of spatial and choreographic relationships between theatre, spectators, actors and chorus, could have been established in each case?

	Obscure Stages -- An Annotated Theatre Bibliography
		Affectionate and interesting, the narrative describes not only these actors' careers before, during, and after the Crazy Gang, but also the other voices and places of British popular theatre between the wars and in the post-war period as well.
		From a bit later in the British theatre chronology comes this account by the great-niece of one of the stage comedians who banded together in 1931 after mixed success as solo or double acts to form a freewheeling and fractious institution of sorts within the revue form of theatre.
		It's well-researched--which one might expect from a doctoral diss, somewhat combative in tone--which lends it a strong authorial voice, and occasionally mired in jargon, neo-Marxist and otherwise, e.g., "the production of the minstrel show out of gendered commodity exchanges".

	On Steambath:
		When Hollywood Television Theatre was preparing to stage "Steambath" in 1973, they sent Bruce Jay Friedman a list of about 15 TV actors who might be considered for the part of Tandy and asked the author to select his choice for the role.
		From ‘Steambath’ to ‘The Apple Dumpling Gang’ (a 1975 Disney comedy-western) is a difficult extension but equally important from an audience point of view.
		Friedman did not watch much TV, he was unfamiliar with most of the names.

	FFWD Weekly - December 9, 2004
		The Old Trout Puppet Workshop’s dark new version of Pinocchio for Alberta Theatre Projects restores the macabre innards of the original Carlo Collodi story, while at the same time boiling it down to its most basic, mythic elements, as is this troupe’s wont.
		The Trouts and Porteous take a few other liberties with the book, but stick close to the original plot and restore some of the bitter flavour that Walt’s gang sugar-coated (e.g., there’s no sage cricket sidekick for this Pinocchio who, like Collodi’s, applies a hammer to his annoying insect "conscience" right off the top).
		Happily, for those either too young or too old to care about symbol and allegory, the Trouts have also crafted a clever and imaginative entertainment, involving puppets of all sizes, human actors, a set like a giant pop-up book, old-fashioned theatrical effects and a live score.
