Dropped in to catch a quick show last Saturday at Hyde Park Theatre: Double Exposure. Two locals, Auschron Editor Wayne Alan Brenner and poet/actor/writer David Jewell are putting themselves up on stage with the intent to entertain. It works.

Sometimes theatre is a deep, penetrating look into the human soul -- a full course dinner from soup to nuts. Other times it's more akin to tapas -- a variety of yummy snacks that adds up to light fare. Radio :30 (check out that whippy e-card!) at Hyde Park Theatre is somewhere in between.

Wrought with the epitomic struggles of man – the epochal moments of our modern age – wrangling that which is humanity onto our most noble public platform – the stage. So yeah, just like every week there’s a manwich-size portion of performance going on in town this weekend. Beyond the kick-ass stuff that’s already going on, the new show garnishing...

Canadian Chris Earle's analysis in descent, Radio: 30, follows an award winning radio personality who slowly breaks down over a day long struggle with a simple thirty second ad. Directed by Ken Webster and featuring Mical Trejo and Robert S. Fisher, the play depicts a man who can tell you, with a smile, how he seduced his best friend's wife and forced out his predecessor to achieve his standing. A truely post-modern man. Hyde park...
