UNCLE VANYA at The Gamm is Close to Perfection - This show had many of my favorite regional actors and a fantastic director, plus a great script. Sometimes a show is so perfectly executed that it almost crackles--this was one of those.
Haunting THE YELLOW WALLPAPER at OUT LOUD Theatre - I had no idea what to expect going to this play, and I was absolutely thrilled at what Out Loud Theatre did to make this short story come alive. It was immersive and strange and unlike anything I've seen before or since. Years later, I still think about it often.
