THE RING AND THE BOOK [1999]
{Armstrong Browning Library, Baylor University, Waco, Texas} and {Balliol College Library, University of Oxford, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England}

However, guided by Brenda Urquhart polished direction, this talented ensemble has adapted poet Robert Browning eponymous two-volume book set with a kind of flair that results in an intriguing theater spectacle. Penned over 1868 and 1869, Browning writings studied a sensational 17th-century trial that took place in Rome. This adaptation recounts the murderous events that follow the failed marriage between Count Guido Franceschini (Richard Chassler) and the much younger Pompilia Comparini (Lisa Zee Ziembicki).

BLUEBEARD [1995]

Carolyn Chiodini seems to have flair for campy damsels in distress and should excel with better material. Kara Maria Miller has the exotic look to go with her character of the Leopard Woman.
review by Rob Stevens in Night Life Entertainment Magazine showcase gay and lesbian of California, December 27, 1995, Issue #655, page E38

Most successful in this regard are the two most outlandish characters, the sensuous cat-woman (Kara Maria Miller) and the hunchbacked servant (Mitch Rubman), who stay solidly rooted in their alternate reality no matter how silly the dialogue.

PANDORA [1990]
{California State University Sacramento, Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection}

Like in the famous Wizard of Oz this play has its haughty character. A witch who brews her contempt for the sweet innocence of Pandora while attempting to foil Zeus plans. Trickery gains the witch her demise in the form of violent, profane modern monsters. Leona Toussaint plays this role to the hilt. Her acting is unbelievable as she executes curiosity for a look see in the famous Pandoras Box.
