Elizabeth Youngman-Westphal Special to the Village News "Shadowlands" is a love story. Truly and honestly depicted by a band of players in love with the writings of C. S. Lewis, "Jack" to his friends. Lewis believes “the magic never ends.” And wonders aloud – “if God loves us (why) then must we suffer pain and loss?" Famous for his fanciful books, "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", Lewis was also an acclaimed Christian intellectual. Educate...

Ian Murdock Special to the Village News Set in the racially heated 1950's and 1960's, as well as the Cold War period, "Hidden Figures" lays out – accurately, forcefully and deftly – the true tale of three exceptionally intelligent African American female mathematicians, working in the predominantly white male neighborhood of NASA, and the "race to space." The three leading ladies – Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monai and Taraji P. Henson – as well as Kevin Costner, generate deeply genuine performances, filled with heart, fear, sha...

Another film closing out 2016 was "Fences", an extremely creative, edgy and multi layered family drama – filled with a heavenly performance by Viola Davis, as well as her supporting cast (Denzel Washington, his sons and close friend). With somewhat overly simple cinematography (as the film mimicked the Broadway play), this film went round after round tackling many angles of human nature – its frailty, flaws, hopes and dreams (some elusive). Focused on raising a family in a "blue collar" Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania setting – i...

Elizabeth Youngman Westphal Special to the Village News Note to the reader: This is not a review – it is a recommendation. There are only three performances and in an effort to support local theatre, it was necessary to attend a rehearsal. I observed the second act run-through, and the rehearsal was delightful. MGM released “Singin' in the Rain” in 1952, and since then it has been applauded as one of the best musicals of all times. Filled with song and strong tap danci...
