When three suitors try to woo a single, fifty-something mother, there isn’t exactly love in the air. It’s more like disaster and comedy. Circa 21’s latest show, Getting Momma Married, is a humorous, behind-the-scenes look at one woman’s attempts to find love again.

Ninja-style nuns, two sets of twins separated at birth, woeful lovers, men vaguely resembling Elvis, and a society divided by religious differences. These and more are part of the annual Shakespeare festival at Riverside outdoor theatre in Iowa City, with The Comedy of Errors and Romeo & Juliet on stage in repertory through July 7.

Richmond Hill Barn Theatre in Geneseo is like something from an actor’s dream. With “theatre-in-the-round” seating, high ceilings for easy lighting capability, entryways from four sides, and an intimate acting space, one would think any play could succeed with these standards. Even a weak performance can be positively impacted by quality set pieces and a connection with audience members.

Compared to Chicago or even to Iowa City, the Quad Cities’ contemporary-theatre base is practically nonexistent. But that could change with the help of one of the area’s newest drama groups. With only two staged plays under its belt, the New Ground Theatre Company is already living up to its name.

It’s not often that a main character dies more than five times during the course of a story. Or that a young man proposes to an 80-year-old woman. But Harold & Maude at Playcrafters Barn Theatre combines this unusual story with exceptional acting and achieves two hours of genuine laughter, and an appreciation for life and art. Colin Higgins’ play is a lighthearted piece in which the lead characters come to terms with death and love.
