WILLIAMSTOWN -- A rehearsal for the musical ``The Opposite of Sex" is about to begin at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, and director/cowriter Robert Jess Roth is kicking things off by dishing some celebrity gossip: the latest tabloid rumors about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's still mysteriously unseen baby, Suri.
Butler says she found her groove in ``The Opposite of Sex" after a group of inner-city high school students came to see the show in San Francisco one day.
Their response to the Magic Theatre production was a mixed bag (even if Roth, Cohen, and Butler insist that audiences were enthusiastic).

After graduating from the National Theatre School, Williams went straight to the Shaw Festival and spent five years in the classics.
There's even a grippingly funny and sharp-edged scene in which the two straight men tease each other during Internet sex, as one uses the anonymity of the Net to pretend to be female.
Williams, returning to Niagara-on-the-Lake next summer, was tremendously empathetic in Toronto as the lover of a man dying from AIDS-related complications in Daniel MacIvor's The Soldier Dreams, and dangerously fascinating in Live With It as gay playwright Joe Orton, who shocked audiences with the sexual nature of his works.

Apart from popping up regularly in dramas, documentaries and televised debates, she has been a producer of television, a job she adored but which has temporarily been denied her, and has been acting in the theatre since she was 14 years old.
McDonald has had to make a conscious effort to stop feeling “all colonial and raw” and turn her mind to the vastness of the Russian homeland, the dramatic changing of seasons and the symbolism of the cherry tree bursting forth with new life.

 Longenbaugh on Theatre: Only Sex Can Rival Fringe Theater for Pleasure (Seattle Weekly)
Well, if you take sex out of the equation, I've probably had the most enjoyable moments of my life in a collection of shabby, often ill-heated, cramped fl-box theaters.
Fringe should be different, and Strawberry Theatre Workshop delivers that in their production of David Mamet's The Water Engine.
Fringe should also be intimate, and when I say that, I don't mean Intiman Theatre "intimate." I mean that when Lindsay Crane sat down on the lip of the stage and smoked a cigarette during a reflective moment in Seascape, I could have leaned over and taken a drag.

 Goethe-Institut Playbill - German Theatre in Australia - La Ronde - Reviews
The problematic area for the production lay in its fear of its subject; in the failure of the work to face its own fears relating to sex and sexual encounter; and the failure to challenge the audience to go beyond cliched reactions and situations that are safe to portray.
Presenting it within the boundaries of very safe theatre conventions ignored the cultural dynamics of living in 2004.
With very frank films, mostly from Europe and Asia, depicting ever increasingly complex aspects of sexual psychology, fantasy, needs and the realities confronting hetro-sexual relationships one might have expected something more from a play that seemed to promise more than standard safe theatrical fare.

 Comments on Review of MLT's "No Sex Please..."
I think if anything you should note that the actors were never given the opportunity to rehearse in the theatre until opening night, so there in itself is a problem.
She felt that I was trying too hard to not upset the people involved with or producing the show, and that I wasn't honest about just how bad it was.
Although this goes against my beliefs as a theatre professional (paying audiences should not have to pay to see rehearsals), it is one of the kindnesses and leniencies I will grant to community theatres, since this is where I originally discovered my love of theatre.
