...Regular patrons of The Nutcracker will discover few changes since last year. Company officials are billing this 34th production as an "enhanced performance," with ten foot Nutcracker sentries greeting the audience as they enter the theater, costumed characters mingling with the audience, free memento buttons and more flameproof white confetti for the snow scene in the Enchanted Forest. However, I noticed none of these "enhancing" touches except for those taking place on the stage.

Offering 579 lots which consisted of movie posters, theater prints and "ephemera," memorabilia that is not produced to last long (i.e. cigar wrappers and baseball cards), the specialty auction drew an audience of approximately 200 guests, either registered bidders or simply curious onlookers.

...Machinal's flirtation with experimental theater achieves its completion in the last scene. The costuming is radical; both Parris and Agresta, executioners, are dressed in metallic-punk-dominatrix suits, and Gunn, the priest, wears a silver robe. The sense that all dialogue is a voice-over creates the impression that the actors are merely odd configurations of marionettes. In this scene, people have fully transformed into machines. Helen's appeals for mercy seem to be almost rays of light bouncing off the darkened stage, for she is the only lit figure. Suddenly, strobe lights destroy the darkness, and the execution...
