The 2011 - 2012 Season: Love/Alienation 

We are lucky in COS to have a group like Star Bar that is willing to take a chance on a risky play like "Bug" -- or, for that matter, "Waiting for Godot" last Fall. -- "Bug" is not an easy play. We witness how seemingly normal people in the first act are drawn into a psychotic world of paranoia and conspiracy theory in the second act. Not the most uplifting theme in the world! -- The transition is tough, and the playwright doesn't really help. Three weaknesses of the main character are revealed in the first act, and none are used in the second act to make the transition believable. The actors have to do that all on their own. The Star Bar players are powerful and should be supported, in my view, even if only because they are willing take huge risks -- like this one. - James Wood THE BEST OF THE SPRINGS 2011:  Star Bar scored for best play, best makeup and best director! Thanks, Gazette! GAZETTE'S BEST OF THE SPRINGS 2012: Tracy Mobley-Martinez's expert pick for Best Actress went to our own Alysabeth Clements Mosley!  September, 2011: Star Bar is honored to have received two nods from the Pikes Peak Arts Council: Waiting for Godot was nominated for Outstanding Production, while our very own Elizabeth Kahn Lanning won the award for Best Actress for her performances in Bug and Why Torture is Wrong!  GAZETTE REVIEW: Star Bar production delivers an utterly delicious 'Empty Plate' January, 2012: It is with great sorrow that we announce the loss of a dear friend, Jack Passanante, Jr., who passed away with awful suddenness on January 26th. You might have seen Jack in last season's production of Why Torture is Wrong, and the People Who Love Them. If you'd like to do something in his memory, please consider making a donation to the Impossible Players in Pueblo, Jack's home theatre. View his obituary here. Goodnight, moon. Goodnight, Jack. We'll be dedicating the last production of the season to you, dear man.
