Putting mental illness to music in Deep Dish Theater's Next to Normal.,. http://www.indyweekcom/indyweek/putting-mental-illness-to-music-... <br /> Playwright Brian Yorkey dares much in this 2009 Pulitzer Prize-winning <br /> work,which gets its second Triangle run this season. Instead of exploiting ' <br /> Diana's condition as a conduit for our pity, Yorkey brings mental illness <br /> home,with integrity. Diana is forthright,witty and courageous as she <br /> struggles to find and keep a sense of stability.Jolley gives her the sharpness <br /> and dignity of someone determined to survive with a chronic condition. <br /> Allore conveys the bewilderment and fatigue of a husband who wonders <br /> how much hope is really left as multiple treatments fail.Abigail Coryell <br /> conveys the desperation of her overachieving high-school daughter, though <br /> her relationship with boyfriend Henry(Jeffrey Vizcaino) remained under <br /> construction Saturday night. <br /> Next to Norma/also discerns this family's dysfunctions as something <br /> separate from the challenges Diana faces herself. Since composer Tom Kitt's <br /> score sparkles, music director Julie Florin's ensemble should sound more <br /> than occasionally crisp once last week's challenges are overcome. By the <br /> sound of things, I think it'll take three nights.They should have passed by <br /> the time you read these words. <br /> This article appeared in print with the head line 'Closer to fine." <br /> Tags:Theater,Deep Dish Theater Company,Cary Arts Center <br /> Like Send 4 people like this.Be the first 0 2 <br /> of your friends. <br /> Tweet <br /> Email Print Share Add to favorites Add to Custom List <br /> Related Locations <br /> Deep Dish Theater Company <br /> Be the first to review this location! <br /> Permitted HTML: <br /> To create paragraphs in your comment,type<p>at the start of a paragraph and</p>at the end of each <br /> paragraph. <br /> To create bold text,type<b>bolded text</b>(please note the closing tag,</b>). <br /> To create italicized text,type<i>italicized text</i>(please note the closing tag,</i>). <br /> Proper web addresses will automatically become links. <br /> latest in theater <br /> Two arms negotiators try to end the nightmare in Burning Coal's A Walk in the Woods <br /> in this psychological two-person drama,long-term stressors slowly take their toll after a new <br /> American nuclear arms negotiator takes a seat across from his Soviet counterpart. <br /> by Byron Woods <br /> A decade among gay friends in Manbites Dog's The Homosexuals <br /> Manbites Dog's season closer fully qualifies as a work of both courage and conscience. <br /> by Byron Woods <br /> Little Green Pig's audacious take on Anne Frank <br /> Through May 18 at The Shadowbox <br /> by Byron Woods <br /> More s <br /> mere by Byron woods <br /> A new dance adaptation of a Harlem Renaissance classic <br /> Like Jean Toomer's book that inspired it,CANEis a hybrid,a mix of choreography,videography and <br /> experimental set design and sound. <br /> by Byron Woods <br /> Playwright Daniel Karasik's drama The Innocents strives to make its case <br /> New local group Common wealth Endeavors sets out to convince audiences that the English-language <br /> works they've been missing are every bit as compelling as the ones they've seen. <br /> by Byron Woods <br /> More. <br /> 2 of 2 5/22/2013 10:49 AM <br />
