CURIOUS THEATRE: Nov 10 – Dec 10

 

Last season at this time, I was announcing all the top Marlowe Awards as going to Curious Theatre for its Powerful production of AMERICAN SON.

 

They were: 

OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION OF A PLAY, BEST ACTRESS, JADA SUZANNE DIXON, BEST DIRECTOR, JADA SUZANNE DIXON, BEST ACTOR, JOSH ROBINSON, BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, ABNER GENECE. 

 

This year it’s different.

Franklinland disappoints on almost every level.

The script, which sounds fun at first, is a ‘fowl’ play.

The direction and acting, tragic.

 

Nevertheless, there is a beautiful scenic design by Markas Henry.

 

     Probably Covid had much to do with this. At least one wishes to be able to give the old guard of Curious the benefit of the doubt. Still “guiding” the new administration, Curious Theatre’s old guard is gasping its last this year.

 

     One cannot wait for the new administration at Curious to come fully into bloom next season!!! It’s thrilling to know that Jada Suzanne Dixon will be the new Artistic Director.

 

     As for now … your turkey is ready.
