It's a story of kings and presidents, grandchildren and generals. It's an evening of steely fire, inspiration and quiet grace. It's GOLDA'S BALCONY, now at the Vagabond theater in Baltimore City.
An aging rockabilly one-time star plots his comeback in an original work by Maryland playwright Mark Scharf (pictured below, left) in the Theatrical Mining Company's (TMC) presentation of "Hired Gun," part of the 2012 Baltimore Playwrights Festival. Scharf's plays have appeared across the USA and internationally, garnering numerous awards.
Guest reviewer Mark Squirek provides his insights into local playwright Mark Scharf's HIRED GUN, a melodramatic meditation on aging, Fender guitars, delusions, the music business and marriage.
Award-winning actor/playwright/director Mark Squirek offers his insights as a Guest Reviewer into the Mobtown Theater's current production of Darwin in Malibu by Crispin Whittell, a work that's as much about faith as it is evolution.
A Mr. Mark Squirek -- a non-facebook subscriber but an individual with an evidently keen interest in theater -- sent me this response to a recently posted review of Eugene O'Neill's THE ICEMAN COMETH, now at the Fells Point Corner Theater. To post responses to BWW reviews requires facebook membership (it's a way to eliminate anonymous, hateful postings), but not everyone has joined the millions taking the facebook plunge. I was impressed enough with the detail and depth of this letter to include it as a READER FEEDBACK column. I will say that I am a member of the ICEMAN cast, so I believe it only right to note that here. In any event, here is Mr. Squirek's comments.

Writing plays can be a lonely job, but the writing is only half the battle. To see his work fully realized, the playwright must find a theater willing to take a chance and produce his new, unproven work for the first time. The Mobtown Playwrights Group makes that step a little easier by proving space for staged reading, workshops and full productions
