"The Rose Tattoo" Onstage in Madison

by Karen Nowosad
published 2023-06-11
The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey opens their 2003 season with a classic from Tennessee Williams titled The Rose Tattoo. The production is an outstanding play to see due to several factors and the direction by Bonnie Monte. In her Director's Notes, Monte writes that she was fortunate to have an opportunity to work with Tennessee Williams in 1981 and 1982 shortly before he died. She writes, "He has influenced my life in the theatre more than any other playwright besides Shakespeare. The Rose Tattoo is Tennessee's homage to love and life, and this production is my grateful homage to him."

The Life of Christ from Another, Very Musical, Point of View – "Jesus Christ Superstar"

by Bruce Chadwick
published 2023-06-07
This is the official 50th anniversary of the premiere of the hit Broadway play Jesus Christ Superstar, a musical that has played all over the world and is headed for the State Theatre, in New Brunswick, this coming weekend (June 9-11). It is not the traditional story of Jesus' life and death, though, but a story that puts Judas, who betrayed Christ, in a major role. He, and high priests who punished Jesus, are the major players in the story, along with Christ.
