Shakespeare & Company's Production Of August Wilson's FENCES Takes The Top Spot At The Berkshire Theatre Critic Awards


Shakespeare & Company's production of August Wilson's Fences has earned the Outstanding Production of a Play Award for the 2023 season from the Berkshire Theatre Critics Association (BTCA).

Review: LET THERE BE LOVE at Penguin Rep


What did our critic think of LET THERE BE LOVE at Penguin Rep? Quite often dramas concerning race, immigration, family squabbles (and other issues that we can’t reveal here without spoiling) tend to be in-your-face, preachy and heavy-handed.  “Let There Be Love” is a play about all of the former, with none of the latter.   It is charming, moving, hilariously funny and full of tremendous heart.

LET THERE BE LOVE Comes to Penguin Rep


Penguin Rep Theatre presents the New York premiere of Let There Be Love by Kwame Kwei-Armah. Learn more about the production and how to get tickets here!

Review: FENCES at Shakespeare & Company


Audience members quickly engage with the characters before them virtually free of any doubt or distraction. We become deeply engaged and by the time real conflict sets in during act two, we feel both for them, and with them. August Wilson’s FENCES is considered a landmark work of American theatre and he a masterful storyteller.
