Favorite Stories:

  • Review: Urine Good Company with URINETOWN at Brookfield Theater For The Arts - "Urinetown" is such a clever play with such an off-putting premise. Nearly everyone that I talked to who have seen the show had the same reaction: They didn't want to see it at first because they figured it would just be urine jokes for the whole night- which it is- but once they leave, they beam about how amazing the music was, how clever the writing, and how intricate the themes.
  • Review: MR. BURNS: A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY shines a light at Brookfield Theater Of The Arts - "Mr. Burns" is such a difficult play to read. Nothing makes sense and you don't know where these characters came from or why they're now singing, but once you sit down with a cast and flesh out the post-apocalyptic world that this play inherits, the right cast and crew can make this show click into everybody's hearts as if they understood it all along.
  • Review: Bouncing Fun with FUN HOME at Brookfield Theater For The Arts - What isn't to love about "Fun Home"? From the music, to the writing, to the graphic novel that it's adapted from, this musical encapsulates growing up queer and the complicated emotions and behaviors that can have two people experiencing the same obstacles but have two completely different endings. All while singing and dancing and falling in love with the characters.
  • BWW Review: IN THE HEIGHTS soars high at Landmark Community Theatre - Heart and soul and rhythm are at the core of "In The Heights." These are stories that need to be told and told by the right people. Through the music, the language, and the characters, "In The Heights" surrounds you with culture, love, and community in ways that will blow you away.
  • BWW Review: HEATHERS rocks at TRINITY-ON-MAIN - Sure, it's a dark and twisted story that borders on absurd, but "Heathers" really nails the melodrama and intensity that high school feels like when you're growing up. It's a time where everything feels like life and death, even if your problems are trivial in the grand scheme of things.

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.

BWW Review: CONSTELLATIONS moved hearts at TheatreWorks New Milford
March 12, 2020

Love knows no bounds; not distance, nor hardship, nor time. In a story where time is not linear and each scene is a different timeline of the same events it can be hard to follow, but when you trust the script to tell the story and trust your audience to pick up on these concepts, you can focus on making each scene feel real and organic.
