This weekend, Black Swamp Players opens The Revolutionists by Lauren Gunderson—a play about four “mostly” real women thrown together in a totally imagined intersection of their lives.

As always, I enjoyed my time in the audience at Black Swamp Players’ Theatre. I wholeheartedly encourage you to add the remainder of their season (and then the next) to your calendar. Black Swamp Players continues to deliver thoughtful, impactful theatre, and they’re clearly unafraid to tackle scripts that ask big questions of both their artists and their audiences.

Oregon Community Theatre is out here doing the most unhinged (complimentary) thing this month: staging both versions of Neil Simon’s 'The Odd Couple' at the same time. The male-centered cast. The female-centered cast. Two full productions. Rehearsed simultaneously. Performed on alternating nights.

Absolutely wild behavior. And I say that with awe.

The Village Players Theatre kicked off this season’s Directors Series with Jen Silverman’s Witch this weekend—and what an absolute banger of an opener. Not only is Silverman’s script already a razor-sharp, powerful piece of theatre, but this cast and production team delivered work they should be genuinely proud of.

One thing Black Swamp Players has been consistently nailing in recent shows is their script selection. Every time I make the trip down to Bowling Green, I’m reminded how intentional and thoughtful their choices are. The Thin Place by Lucas Hnath was no exception.

Overall, I had a genuinely good time. I laughed, I smiled, and I definitely caught myself humming along to those iconic songs. This cast, crew, and production are the perfect recipe for a fun night at the theatre. So take a little time this Halloween weekend to enjoy this timeless classic.

What unfolds across both acts is a mix of emotional arguments, clashing opinions on race, and a larger struggle to maintain a sense of self and identity in a world that’s constantly changing. It’s smart, sharp, and incredibly human theater.

A good friend of mine once described the plot of Pippin as “existential dread: the circus.” After spending Sunday afternoon in the audience at Toledo Repertoire Theatre’s production of the Stephen Schwartz musical, I can confidently say that’s a pretty spot-on description....
