From http://www.compassrosetheater.org/shows?

Set in a spacious apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, this play explores the inner passions and beliefs of five Americans from different cultures. The play explores how the beliefs we learn from infancy are buried inside our adult selves. Ultimately, we are who we are. We can run, but not hide from what we have been taught. We act on our values in spite of ourselves, and when confronted with opposing beliefs, we clash, and that is how wars begin. Intense and mesmerizing, this story doesn’t just unravel; it explodes on the stage. Winner of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize. Adult themes and language.

Frankenstein

Frankenstein by Victor Gialanella adapted from the novel by Mary Shelley

In recognition of the 200th anniversary of the first publication of Mary Shelley's ground-breaking novel, BCT presents this renowned tale in a new and thoughtful light. Set in nineteenth-century Switzerland, this legend of horror and suspense details the ill-fated experiments of a young scientist, Victor Frankenstein, as he attempts to fathom the secrets of life and death.  Purchasing cadavers from two unsavory grave robbers, he gives life to a creature both hideous and touching--and so physically powerful and mentally twisted that he soon brings death or destruction to all who stand in his way.  Adhering more closely to the original novel than did the famous motion picture versions, the play blends moments of brooding terror and sudden shock with questions of morality and the dangers of unrestrained scientific inquiry.

In this special Saturday edition of the Inside Acting Radio Show, host William Powell discusses the new film "Black Panther" and upcoming episodes.

From The Washington Post's David Betancourt:

"The crown for the world’s greatest black superhero has always been worn by the Black Panther.

He was also the world’s first. And for more than 50 years, Marvel Comics’ African legend has been hurling a black-gloved fist to the stereotypical notion that superheroes of color only work as side characters.

T’Challa, the man under the mask, is a king who rules an African nation that has never been invaded, one that’s the most technologically advanced society in the Marvel universe. He’s been an Avenger, married and divorced a member of the X-Men, and helped fend off aliens. Few Marvel characters come close to matching his intelligence, and he’s traded punches with some of the greatest heroes and villains around and stood tall in the end. Heck, even his grandfather punched Captain America once.

Speaking of the Captain, that indestructible star-spangled shield? It’s made of vibranium, a metal mined only in T’Challa’s Wakanda.

The Black Panther has allowed comic book fans of color to look past the medium’s lack of diversity and take solace in an undeniable fact: He’s simply one of the coolest superheroes around. The rest of the world will probably catch up next Friday, when Marvel Studios releases the hotly anticipated, ecstatically reviewed “Black Panther” movie, which is expected to make at least $120 million over its opening four-day weekend."
