Providing young actors with a forum in which to develop their fledgling skills is the noble ambition of Amphibian Productions.
The company's first Manhattan production, however, which opened Thursday at the Connelly Theatre in the East Village, is a disastrously unwise choice of scripts.

[ CST ]  Slice of '70s devastatingly told in 'Purple Heart' BY HEDY WEISS
Had Henrik Ibsen been around to chronicle the age of "The Brady Bunch"--those far-from-halcyon days of the early 1970s, when the Vietnam War raged a vast ocean away, and Nixon reigned in the White House--he might have devised a play that felt and sounded very much like Bruce Norris' "Purple Heart."

Making Extra-Golden Oldies His Own by JON PARELES

I saw some excellent theater this weekend - PRIVATE LIVES in New York, ONCE IN A LIFETIME in Williamstown, QUARTET at the Berkshire Theatre Festival - but none of the performances compared to this one I saw at Joe's Pub on Friday. Richard Thompson's "1000 Years of Popular Music" was informative, refreshing, original, moving, funny, and incredibly entertaining. And it even included a few songs that have made it to Broadway...
