Play along with this play

Rowan Joseph has worked alongside actors such as Kevin Spacey, Helen Mirren and Katharine Hepburn. Shane Partlow has trod the boards for decades and appeared in plenty of films and television programs.

Yet they’re coming to town to share the stage with a 10-pound frozen turkey – and having the time of their lives.

“The Queen of Bingo,” a play by Jeanne Michels and Phyllis Murphy, gives the friends a chance for some frivolity and fun.

They roll out the touring show several times a month across the United States and will perform at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen March 9 and 10.

Get your guffaw on

The laughs are back.

ComedySportz Richmond Improv Theatre reopened last month after a lengthy hiatus to re-charge and re-group.

Musical whodunit reunites enthusiastic cast, director

Ask anybody in the cast or crew about the Henrico Theatre Company’s upcoming production of Curtains and the response always includes the word "fun."

Director Amy Perdue can’t stress it enough. “This show is fun, fun, fun,” she said. “I have fun doing this every night,” she said of the five times a week rehearsals that began in March.

Curtains, a musical comedy whodunit, will be performed at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen May 6-22.

Art walking, without the chill

We really do love downtown Richmond’s First Fridays Art Walk. It’s a great way to view works of myriad artists in a concentrated area, meet a lot of local characters and just revel in the general spectacle of it all.

At this time of year, however, we prefer our activities a bit more sheltered from the elements. But we don’t have to give up our Art Walk – we’re just moving indoors.
