On Stage Tonight - "Forum," "New Works" and "Oz"

Lots of great shows to see tonight, including:

- I was at last night's performance and had a great time, so I certainly recommend tonight's edition of the second annual Robert Hinchman New Works Festival. It begins at 8:00 p.m. in the Francis Booth Experimental Theatre of the Joan C. Edwards Playhouse at Marshall University. Tonight a new full-length comedy will be premiered: A Sheep Among Wolves by Jonathan Joy. Reverend Donald Daniels attempts to reconcile his brother's fourth broken marriage and save the soul of a young prostitute while his congregation revolts against him. Those familiar with Joy's The Princess of Rome, Ohio will enjoy the further adventures of Dicky Daniels. To purchase tickets, visit the Marshall University Theatre box office in the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center or call 304-696-ARTS (2787). Tickets are priced at $8.

- A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum - Shows start at 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, June 27-28, with Sunday shows at 2 p.m. June 29 at the Renaissance Center, 900 8th St. Huntington. You can also have a meal with your show - dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday and brunch at 12:30 p.m. Sunday. Dinner and brunch reservations are limited, call 304-733-2787. Tickets are $15 show; $15 dinner; $12 brunch.

- And at Jenny Wiley, you can catch The Wizard of Oz, presented tonight on the Amphitheatre Mainstage.
