Mother Knows Best

By Juliet Wittman | Thu, May 09, 2013

A recent Facebook thread carried a passionate argument about whether childbirth was ecstatic or hideously painful. “Painful” voters found the ecstatic folk smug; the ecstatics hinted that the painful contingent were insufficiently maternal.... More »
The thoughtful Motherhood Out Loud is hilariously quotable

By Juliet Wittman | Thu, January 31, 2013

Steven J. Burge and Damon Guerrasio deliver an entertaining Love Child

By Juliet Wittman | Thu, June 21, 2012

A few days after I've seen Love Child, the notes on my pad — a mix of observations, reminders and actual quotes — make absolutely no sense. "I have no name." "Xander's in a trance." "You're firing me? Your own mother?" "Chef from Greece...big... More »

Event Review: Motherhood Out Loud

5
| Sat, January 19, 2013

Last night was opening night of Motherhood Out Loud at Avenue Theater and it was FANTASTIC! This show is for anyone that is, has, or is planning on being a Mother. So, I guess that means everyone (guys too.) I'm a dad, so a lot of this show I saw happen with my wife and even experienced some of what a Mother goes through as well, but this has so much more. From the massive unknown before a child comes into this world, all the way to when rolls switch and child becomes parent. The coolest thing is that all the scenes and monologues were written by a whole gaggle of different women writers from TV, stage, film, novels, you name it. And they ALL work perfectly together. I experienced everything from full-on "i-ve-been-there-before-laughs" to tears of joy on how beautiful life can be to tears of sorrow at how fragile and fleeting life can be. The cast is spot on across the board and throughout the show! You will walk away thinking wo words. "Thanks Mom!" Oh, and call her if you can. Go. See. This. Show.

2012 | Best Director

A variety show like Vox Phamalia: Quadrapalooza, presented at the Avenue Theater, required a whole different set of skills from a director. The show was intended as a place where everyone in the PHAMALY company could find a home, regardless of singing or acting talent or level of disability. To achieve this, director Edith Weiss selected stories from those sent in by cast members, edited them and did some writing of her own, along with Jeremy Palmer. She had to learn how to work with actors... More »
2011 | Best Actor in a Musical

Nick Sugar was born to play the raucous, all-stops-out part of Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. In this Avenue Theater production, he got to strut, cross-dress, belt out numbers both sexy and forlorn, boast, whine, mock and beg -- and all while he held the audience spellbound. And then he went further, reaching deep into his own soul to find a redemptive dignity amid the squalor. More »
2010 | Best Return to the Denver Stage

Who knows where Chris Whyde disappeared to for three years, but with Die! Mommie Die!, he made a sensational re-entry onto the Denver scene as Angela, a murderous Bette Davis/Joan Crawford-type diva. His was an impersonation that even those ladies might have liked: He had every intonation, queenly gesture, dignified turn of the head and changing flicker of expression down pat. When Whyde was gobsmacked, he still maintained his dignity (except for the occasional meltdown and a couple of... More »
