Review: ROMEO ET JULIETTE at Arizona Opera

Review: The Atreides Are Us in THE ORESTEIA at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company

There are great depths here, and great wisdom, and Playwright Ellen McLoughlin’s handiwork and that of Chesapeake Shakespeare convey them well.

There is so much more to Theatre than just musicals and full-length plays. For a single actor in a solo show to stand on that stage and create a work of art by themselves is bold and can be just as thrilling as a 30-person dance ensemble. 'Tru' set the bar high for the rest of the Festival.
