Legally Blonde

At Theatre Under the Stars until August 23, 2014
Is it legal to be as multi-talented as Jocelyn Gauthier? She can sing, she can dance and she’s got moves that keep you watching her every second. Try to tear your eyes off her: it’s possible, but not for long.

Cymbeline

At Bard on the Beach until September 17, 2014
Usually I’m not concerned about whether a play attributed to Shakespeare was actually written by Shakespeare. Cymbeline, however, does make one wonder. “A tragedy gone right” is how some have described it – although all that’s tragic about it is its potential for things to go wrong. But they don’t; they go very, very right.
