Theater Review: BLEEDING LOVE (Musical Podcast)
BLOODY GOOD! You know, Stage and Cinema has received hundreds of podcasts and other streaming paraphernalia since April when COVID-19 shut the arts down, but most are technically awkward, strangely self-congratulatory, or simply meh.

Theater Preview: THE MAGIC PARLOUR AT HOME (New Virtual Show by Chicago’s Dennis Watkins)
JUST AS MAGICAL REMOTELY Is stuff magical only because it can’t be explained? Perhaps it’s more than just the absence of logic, probability, or reason. There’s a presence too: Magic evokes a child-like sense of wonder in the oldest adults, rewarding their imagination more than their ignorance. At least that’s the working philosophy of House…

Music Preview: TENOR BRIAN CHENEY (Weekly Shows on Stageit)
BACK ON THE CHENEY GANG I originally caught tenor Brian Cheney in Pacific Opera Project’s Tosca, and I was awestruck. Playing the brave painter Cavaradossi, Cheney really blew me away. With nary a glitch, and equally authoritative throughout his range, Cheney has that terrific tenor sound: the power, richness, and vocal color of a high…

Theater : AMERICAN SHAKESPEARE CENTER’S BLKFRSTV (Blackfriars Playhouse / Staunton, VA)
CAUGHT ON TAPE It was an unprecedented and timely decision. It was March 15, 2020, and the American Shakespeare Center — which operates the fantastic Blackfriars Playhouse in Staunton, VA — had just enough time to digitally capture two of their ensembles performing six shows just before the shutdown due to COVID-19. These thrilling experiences…
