Today, she tells us about the Baltimore premiere of Frankenstein, a new adaptation of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's classic novel by playwright Robert Kauzlaric.The play, which kicks off Cohesion Theatre Company’s fifth season, transforms the classic horror tale from a story about an obsessive scientist and his creation, to a psychologically nuanced drama about a grieving woman trying to reinvent her father.Directed by Melissa LaMartina, Frankenstein continues at the Cohesion Theatre Company until Sunday, March 10. All remaining performances are sold out, but you can check on ticket availabilities here.

It's Thursday, and that means our peripatetic theater critic, J. Wynn Rousuck, is back with her weekly review of one of the Baltimore region's thespian offerings. Today, she spotlights the new production of Cecelia Raker's play, La Llorona, now on stage at Baltimore's Cohesion Theatre Company.La Llorona plays off a popular Mexican legend about the loudly lamenting ghost of a woman scorned in love. When a group of young women get thrown together on a school project about La Llorona, the ----legend---- becomes a real and frightening presence in their lives. But is La Llorona's irreverent advice to the women and her constantly changing stories meant to steer them away from her tragic fate, or to entice them to share it? La Llorona is directed at Cohesion Theatre Company by Susan Stroupe, and features Mani Yangilmau in the title role, Emily Sucher as Rachel, Natanya Washer as Maria, and Mia Ybarra as Molly. La Llorona is being produced in repertory with The Orphan Sea, a play by Caridad Svich that is also being directed by Susan Stroupe.La Llorona -- which contains language, themes, ---- situations suitable for mature audiences -- continues at Cohesion Theatre Company until Saturday, April 14th.

It's time for our weekly conversation with theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins Tom today with a review of Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play, a post-apocalyptic fantasy in three acts by playwright Anne Washburn, being produced by Cohesion Theatre Company at ----The Fallout Shelter---- at Baltimore's United Evangelical ChurchThe play asks a series of questions: What happens to pop culture after the fall of human civilization? What about 7 years after the fall? Or even 75 years?Mr. Burns runs those scenarios out over three time-shifting acts. When nuclear power plants across the country begin to “go up,” a group of survivors gather in the woods and begin to recount an episode of The Simpsons. As Cohesion Theatre Company's program describers it, ----casual storytelling evolves into theater, theater evolves into ritual, and one Simpsons episode evolves into a myth and legend for a post-apocalyptic world.----Cohesion Theatre Company's Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play, directed by Lance Bankerd, continues at ----The Fallout Shelter---- at United Evangelical Church , located at 923 S. East Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21224, until December 17th. For ticket and location info, click here.
