[ BE ]  A Missouri summer moon illuminates two unlikely lovers in 'Talley's Folly' by Jeffrey Borak
As played by Mark Nelson and Kate Jennings Grant in director Anders Cato's shimmering production at the Berkshire Theatre Festival, their dance also is breathtakingly graceful and elegant, executed by two people -- walking wounded -- who would, on the surface, seem to be the least likely couple. By the time their dance ends, however, it is clear that Matt and Sally are as natural a pair as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

[ ND ]  "Ave. Q" Stays Street Smart by Linda Winer
The rude yet benign, wicked yet sweet musical, which opened last night at the Golden Theatre, is virtually the same clean little raunchy puppet show that already captured the downtown hearts of 20-somethings, slackers, would-be slackers and the parents who love them. To our nervous system, the extended two-hour sketch would be sharper if trimmed to a tight 90 minutes without an intermission.
