What did our critic think of GRUMPY OLD MEN THE MUSICAL at Murry's Dinner Playhouse?

It is always a treat to go to Murry's Dinner Playhouse, 6323 Col Glenn Rd., in Little Rock, for some fine feasting and fabulous entertainment. Murry's has been entertaining Central ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Arkansas since 1967 and is still going strong, even after the pandemic. To add to the list of fabulous shows presented, this is the first time Murry's has tackled THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields. This family-friendly show continues through Saturday, Nov. 19, and will keep you laughing from beginning to end.

Houston's Classical Theatre Company (CTC) has had one amazing season at their new home at Studio 101 in the Spring Street Studios. I was impressed by their productions of MISS JULIE and UBU ROI, but their production of THE MERCHANT OF VENICE deftly exposes the sincere theatrical talent that legends are made out of. As affair warning, because this brilliantly raw production is pared down to three actors and utilizes an abridged adaptation by CTC's dramaturg Shea Thomas Cooper, it won't hurt to re-familiarize yourself with the plot to ensure that you don't get lost in this stirring translation of the text.
