This winter season, The Louisville Review will crown itself with laurel.  In the same fashion as the illustrious Greeks of old, the local literary magazine will don its poetic leaves; yes, the merriest wreath this Holiday will be one of words.  In honor of Kentucky’s Poet Laureate, Maureen Morehead, The Louisville Review will feature compositions from working writers residing in or native to our beloved Bluegrass State.

School’s out, and it’s time for fun! But with temperatures already breaking heat records, playing outside may not be the most attractive option. Fortunately, Bellarmine University’s School of Continuing & Professional Studies offers summer youth enrichment programs in art, drama, writing, science, music and more for kids from age 7 to 17 wanting to expand their horizons.
 

The Looking Glass Wars at Art Sanctuary and Alley Theater are presented in a non-traditional workshop format. Chairs surround the floor area that serves as the stage and projections on all four corners of the rectangular area help to tell the story.

The play was adapted  by Todd Ziegler from The Looking Glass Wars books by Frank Beddor. Ziegler seemed to do a pretty good job, but there is a scene or two at the beginning that was confusing. The play flips between our world and wonderland, making it hard to follow at times.

As hot as it is outside, why not take the Picnic inside in the form of As Yet Unnamed Theatre Company's production starting July 16.
