I'm always glad to get some good news from my hometown. When I discovered New York toast-of-the-downtown playwright Adam Szymkowicz's Deflowering Waldo is coming to Racine, Wisconsin, I practically did a spit take. The Racine I grew up in was not exactly known for cutting-edge theater. Mucho kudos are in order to the Over Our Heads Players for bringing a smart comedy and a little edge to a culturally conservative city. Their entire season is comprised of original works-- can't wait to check them out the next time I'm in town.

Wisconsinites mark your calendars:
