Review: KING HEDLEY II at A Noise Within
by Evan Henerson - Apr 19, 2024

Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON at Majestic Theatre
by Jill Ripa - Apr 9, 2024
I saw this show for the first time in New York almost ten years ago. It was so popular then, having won nine Tony Awards just a few years before that.

Previews: BIPOC PLAY-READING SERIES: TIME'S TESTIMONY at Straz' TECO Theatre
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - Mar 5, 2024
The Straz website describes TIME'S TESTIMONY as 'a play on words as it depicts the testimony of a man who goes through a trial of falling, manipulation, discovery, and redemption. It also touches on the irony of time changing a calloused heart. As a man navigates through the challenges of addiction and pride, his wife persists in her faith to see a change in him. Through great resistance and challenging encounters, this story takes its audience through the ups and downs of living in a household where things never seem right. Where faith is tested, outcomes may be unforeseen.'

Review: THE FROGS, Kiln Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - Feb 12, 2024
Considering their recent losses, physical theatre giants Spymonkey would have been justified to adapt a Greek tragedy rather than a comedy. The death of Stephan Kreiss in 2021 and the departure of Petra Massey to Las Vegas now leaves only Toby Park and Aitor Bassauri remaining.
