Family legacy is a biggie for some clans, especially when their history has been as tortured as it has been for African-Americans. The result of this can be seen in most cities and towns in America, where some young black men clearly have a hard time connecting to the more inspiring stories of their forebears. That is not the problem for the title character in Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea. Back at hom...

Among the very capable cast are David Bugher as the impulsive Squire Trelawney,...

Sunday, August 10, 2014. Henry IV, Part I, Ohio Shakespeare Festival. It’s hard for a father to watch an apparently wayward son find his way in life, and that parental angst forms the personal core of the “history play” Henry IV, Part One. Is a long play loaded with all kinds of political details, but as usual the talented Ohio Shakespeare Festival company manages to sort it all out. In the highlight role of Falstaff, director Terry Burgler offers a mostly comfortable version of this boozy whore hound...

Those well-meaning copywriters were sent back to their cubicles with their Dixon Ticonderogas tucked between their legs, because that is a too-easy, too-facile way to write an engaging spot. The same, it turns out, is true for the theatrical version of that gambit, which is [title of show]. Now at Beck Center. No doubt, there were howls of laughter eight years ago as...
