...frustrating as it is fascinating, it's only fitting for a festival that has become a window into the disparate strands of American theater today. Started in 1976 by the Actors Theatre of Louisville, the Humana Festival gained fame in its early years for introducing future Broadway and off-Broadway hits (The Gin Game, Crimes of the Heart and Agnes of God). Following the departure of its founding artistic director, Jon Jory, who was replaced by Marc Masterson in 2001, the festival lost a bit of buzzworthiness, but became a bit more open to work from the experimental fringes...

Check out the On the House deal here...
...celebrate female sexuality and promote female empowerment, also provides a welcoming atmosphere for women who are new to the theater scene at Harvard. The final showing of the production is at 8 pm tonight in the Agassiz Theater. The show was created by Eve Ensler and grew from an off-Broadway production to international fame. Ensler developed the piece in order to celebrate the vagina and to help stop violence against women. The proceeds from this year’s performance benefit groups dedicated to preventing sexual assault, including the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center and Rosie?...
