Happy New Year! 

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 DENVER POST's John Moore: When did live theatre get so small? Star Bar was one of 2010's ten smallest theatres in Colorado! THE BEST OF THE SPRINGS 2011 is out!  Star Bar scored for best play, best makeup and best director! Thanks, Gazette! September, 2011: Star Bar is honored to have received two nods from the Pikes Peak Arts Council this year: Waiting for Godot was nominated for Outstanding Production, while our own Elizabeth Kahn Lanning won the award for Best Actress for her performances in Bug and Why Torture is Wrong!

Coming Soon:  An Empty Plate in the Café du Grand Boeuf by Michael Hollinger This homage to Hemingway brings us another larger-than-life character: Victor may not be The Most Interesting Man in the World, but he's quite an enigma nonetheless. He owns the elegant Café du Grand Boeuf in Paris: sumptuously stocked and poised for year-round service… and open only to him. He arrives on this evening in 1961 fresh from the bullfights in Madrid, despondent over love, and announces to his horrified staff that he intends to commit suicide there, in the restaurant - by starving himself to death. January 27 -February 12, 2012 - Tickets are on sale now!   Victor: Michael Miller Claude: Greg Lanning Gaston: Dylan Mosley Mimi: Sarah Sheppard Shaver Antoine: Micah Speirs Louise: Alysabeth Clements Mosley Directed by Elizabeth Kahn-Lanning   Colorado Springs Independent on 'Fabulous': The gay shall inherit the earth Tracy Mobley-Martinez reviews Fabulous for the Gazette/ColoradoSprings.com
