Oops! I missed a couple of outstanding theatre events coming up in June - the New Works Festival and Festiv-all!
Here's what to watch for:
- The Third Annual New Works Festival at Marshall University runs June 18, 19 and 20. Jonathan Joy will have two new plays presented, including Fly By Night and Senate Idol, both premiering June 18. Clint McElroy and Jeremy Richter have new pieces on the other two nights.
- And Jonanthan Joy's play Fly By Night will also be presented at the Clay Center as a part of the One Act Fest at Festiv-all June 27 at 8 p.m. Two other plays will be performed that same night. More information is available here: http://www.festivallcharleston.com/.
- Other plays will also be part of Charleston's Festiv-all, including How Cissy Grew featuring James Denton of Desperate Housewives and Charleston Stage Company's 10-minute play, The Crossing.
Again, more on Festiv-all as news develops (and I track it down).

We saw "Up" Monday evening and I sum it up like this--you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll even find yourself on the edge of your seat a few times. I don't think the 3D in this one is quite as "in your face" as "Coraline", though. But it's still pretty breathtaking.
Squirrel!
Mel, I was happy that the 3-D wasn't used as a stunt (here I picture John Candy on Second City TV saying, "Would you like to borrow my pen?") - it was very effective.
Squirrel!
One more show to add to the list.
Portsmouth Little Theatre is doing Guys and Dolls June 19, 20 & 26, 27 at 7:30 and matinees at 2:00 on the 20th and 27th.
The main reason I mention this show is because our good friend Mark Near will be playing the role of Nicely Nicely.
