Review: THE DARK LADY at Synchronicity Theatre
by Joseph Harrison - June 21, 2025
When one studies history it is easy to forget how much detail is lost. The real lives of the legends we read about in books, their influences, their fears, those they know and, importantly, those they love are often missing from the annals of time. Some of these people, standing just in the periphery, had an immeasurable influence on the lives of these cultural giants and thus on the impact they had on the world. Such is the case with Emilia Bassano, the title character in Jessica B. Hill’s THE DARK LADY which makes its U.S. premiere at Synchronicity Theatre in Atlanta through June 29th.

Review: MILLIONS at Alliance Theatre
by Joseph Harrison - June 01, 2025
What would you do if a fortune in cash fell from the sky? This theoretical question can be a popular conversation starter at dinner parties or on long road trips.

Consider it a miracle and keep the cash? Wonder what practical reason there may be for money to rain down on you? Or maybe a bit of both? This is the ethical dilemma at the core of the world premiere new musical MILLIONS, playing at Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, GA through June 15th where two young brothers are faced with this exact complex morality test as they struggle with the difficult decision of what to do with a miraculous windfall.
