		<title>&#8216;Bee&#8217; spells laughter in WW finale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Proving once again that some of the best things come in small packages, Warsaw&#8217;s Ramada Wagon Wheel Theatre is closing its 2010 season with a small-cast show that is a big winner: &#8220;The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.&#8221; The &#8220;Bee&#8221; began on a small stage Off-Broadway and received such a great response that it [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;Cymbeline&#8217; Shakespearean surprise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Heading into its second decade of producing works by the Bard of Avon, the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival not only has grown into its now-official name (formerly Summer Shakespeare, a title which seemed a bit less formal and/or here-to-stay) but has chosen as its 11th full production one of Shakespeare&#8217;s infrequently  produced plays, &#8220;Cymbeline.&#8221; Surprise, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drama circles life and death</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Goshen&#8217;s New World Arts theater is the place to go for productions that primarily are &#8220;not your grandmother&#8217;s&#8221; kind of shows, and it is good to have such a company when you want to see something besides Neil Simon and/or R&#38;H. Some of its selections are very good, some not so, but they all tackle [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;St. Louis&#8217; easy on the eyes and ears</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This seems to be the week for turning back the clock — theatrically speaking — at least one century. The current Ramada Wagon Wheel Theatre production, &#8220;The Importance of Being Earnest,&#8221; is set in 1895 London. It plays through Aug. 14. There are only two opportunities left, however, to catch Elkhart Civic Theatre&#8217;s summer blockbuster [...]]]></description>

		<title>Witty Wilde survives test of time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When a play survives more than 150 years and is known less for being a &#8220;classic&#8221; than for being a sharply witty and still relevant comedy, it&#8217;s obviously one that should be seen. Such a play is &#8220;The Importance of Being Earnest,&#8221; a brilliant, satirical look at the follies and foibles of the English upper [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;Rent&#8217; is Puccini a la MTV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When &#8220;Rent&#8221; exploded Off-Broadway in on Jan. 25, 1996, the night after the sudden death of its young composer Jonathan Larson, it seemed an unstoppable  musical juggernaut. It moved swiftly to Broadway where it remained for 12 years, earning almost every award known to theater including four Tonys and  a Pulitzer Prize. Since that time, [...]]]></description>

		<title>WW &#8216;Godspell&#8217; still old but very new</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What began as a master&#8217;s thesis by Carnegie Mellon University student John Michael Telebak moved Off-Broadway  in 1971 with new music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and, from there, became a staple in the repetoires of regional and civic theater companies everywhere. In case the title eludes you, it is &#8220;Godspell,&#8221; the high inventive production [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;Proof&#8217; proposes fascinating theory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Proof,&#8221; an award-winning drama by David Auburn, is the latest offering at Goshen&#8217;s New World Arts and proves (no pun intended) that some of the best things, theatrically speaking, come in small packages. With a cast of four and one basic set, the story of  Catherine (Emily Shenk), her father Robert (Darryl Gillikin), her sister [...]]]></description>

The King has been reincarnated (with a touch of Brando) in the person of Chad, aka Roustabout, the leading character in “All Shook Up,” a musical that blends 25 songs associated with the [...]]]></description>
