Despite LexArts recent cut of Actors Guild of Lexington’s funding and the pending appeal of that decision, the theater’s summer shows are going on at the Downtown Arts Center.
Last weekend’s performances of the encore production of Bad Dates were cancelled due to low ticket sales, but Leslie Beatty’s performance of Theresa Rebeck’s one-woman show is scheduled to happen at 7:30 p.m. tonight through Saturday. The well-reviewed production was one of two shows, Silas House’s Long Time Traveling being the other, that helped Actors Guild end the year on a positive note.
And at 8 p.m. July 10-18, Actors Guild will present Eric Bogosian’s subUrbia in conjunction with Apprentice Players. Apprentice Players are the group of high school and college actors who have staged recent productions such as Dog Sees God and last summer’s The History Boys. We’ll have more on subUrbia as the show draws closer.

I think it is important to see a show and support local theatre. According to Mr. Clark he will be bringing in outside groups to produce works at the DAC during the upcoming year. I find that very interesting since nearly every presenting endeavor Mr. Clark has brought in has failed. How about the hideous Hedwig or the puppetry festival bought in against competing local productions? And since when does any United Arts Fund turns themselves into a presenting organization. Don’t you all fundraise to support the local groups who present? I really would like my campaign gift returned.
