Hamilton Wright's probes Fuerzabruta hybrid comedy, daryl roth theatre observes presented by Circus Theatricals at the Hayworth Theatre. Certainly, some kicky topical patches sprout up "Greensward" follows Dr. Timothy Hay (Adam Paul) and his super turf, dubbed "PT-109" for the same absurdist reasons that Copland dominates the sound design by Jeannine Stehlin, Will Richter and Dan Lessner. Timothy, whose lawn mowing memories punctuate "Greensward" as regularly as designer Derrick McDaniels' lights change, becomes a celebrity through the efforts of media consultant April (Jennifer Lee Taylor). Personal upheaval and corporate fallout over the botanical breakthrough ensues. At times, "Greensward" carries the black-box madness of a vintage Firesign Theatre fracas, well tended by director Richard Ziman, designer Kitty Rose's decor and a fertile cast. Paul is suitably guileless as Timothy, while Taylor's culture vulture does what she can with a scantly drawn character. Their colleagues play everyone else with fervent comic energy. Standouts include Francesca Ferrara's vapid starlet, Dylan Kussman's French ambassador and Barbara Lee Bragg's renowned eco-feminist. John Ross Clark and Jerry Lloyd make their mark as shadowy thugs, and Eric Pierpoint twice rocks the house, first as a somnolent Senate committee chair, then as a Texas industrialist with grass on the brain, assisted by wig designer Rick Stratton. However, the darker turns and Timothy's musings in Christopher Durang mode do not mesh with the cartoon attitude, and the structure is too shallow for anarchy, let alone the sentimental fade-out.
"Greensward" has promise, but the seeds of two plays scatter across one under-tilled premise. -- David C fuerzabruta net Fuerzabruta .

"Stages," Abigail Rose Solomon's miry melodrama, which initially ran at the Hudson Mainstage but reportedly has been recast and significantly altered for this extended run at the Matrix, is a bog of pure sentimentality that swamps deeper meaning. In an irritatingly twitchy turn, Solomon also stars as Rebecca Golden, an up-and-coming actress who is struggling to come to terms with the death of her best friend, Priscilla (Sarah Sido). That was five years ago, but Rebecca shows no signs of letting go and moving on. But then, Rebecca appears to be a past master at exploiting her own histrionic emotions to maximum dramatic effect.
Rebecca also carries a mother lode of angst over her parents' painful breakup some years back Fuerzabruta . Her workaholic roommate, Sarah (Jocelyn Jackson), also has lingering issues surrounding her parents' breakup, as does Rebecca's volatile new boyfriend, Michael (Christian S diqui . Anderson). Into the proceedings, like an angel with leaden wings, drops none other than the departed spirit of Priscilla herself, who -- you guessed it -- had painful earthly issues over her parents' split.

Re "Fiscal woes jeopardize area hospitals," Sept 23One area The Times overlooked is that when Tenet Corp. pulled out, most of these hospitals were taken over by physicians who felt they could do a better job than a big corporate entity, only to realize they did not truly have the capacity to do so.
There was one other ingredient to this mix that The Times failed to cover .
