- 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.

If I had a nickel for every time that I’ve reviewed the same show, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but I’m surprised that it took so long in my reviewing history to happen. It shouldn’t be a surprise, however, that in both cases, they are to review Christmas productions. For the first time since 2021, I’ve been treated with attending TheatreWorks New Milford’s production of Matt Austin’s, What the Dickens. Can we officially call this a Christmas Classic?

Cozy, cute, and full of Christmas cheer. That’s what you get with Miracle on 34th Street. That was abound and aplenty at the Connecticut Theatre Company’s production of the motion picture classic! CTC’s production of Miracle on 34th Street kept the joy of the season at the heart of this production, right where it belongs.

Holiday traditions are sweet, but sometimes the stress of the holidays outweighs the joys. That's where Wreck the Halls comes in: It points out the pain of the holidays and is committed to making you laugh. And this raucous production of Wreck the Halls had the audience rolling!

It never gets old. A farce about someone pursuing a great achievement, only to have that achievement at risk due to a misunderstanding, before introducing a doppelganger that just heightens the absurdity (and hilarity) until somebody figures out what's going on and wraps everything up in a neat little bowl? It'll get me in a seat every time.

Theater is vulnerability. You might see am actors on the stage think about their talent, their confidence, or their dedication, but all of that stems from vulnerability. You could of be the best actor in the world, but if you can't allow yourself to be vulnerable on the stage, the you'll always hold yourself back. Nothing was held back in Brookfield Theatre of the Arts‘ production of M. Butterfy by David Henry Hwang.

One man’s trash is another man's treasure. The grass is always greener on the other side. These phrases are all about perspective. Perspective can vary wildly from person to person and you cannot glimpse the whole story by only hearing one side. That is the premise of Brian Friel's Faith Healer, which is running at the Sherman Players.

How do you know when an audience has bought into your performance? The answer depends greatly on the type of show you’re producing: In the case of the jukebox musical, Escape to Margaritaville, maybe you find the entire audience singing the call-and-response before you tell them to!

The Sherman Players are proud to present, Faith Healer, by Brian Friel. A beautifully written play told in four monologues, Friel explores the fallibility of memory and the complex interplay of love, loyalty, loss, and despair.

It’s always a big deal to have a worldwide premiere. To be able to take a piece of art that you have spent many years on- in this case, 8 years- and finally be able to present it to the world in an official capacity is such a satisfying experience; and one that keeps theater alive!

Whenever a theater decides to do The Producers, there is always a mix of joy, curiosity, and anticipation that wells up within me. There is a level of spectacle to any Mel Brooks story that can be a challenge to any theater who isn't prepared. The Connecticut Theatre Company was, in fact, prepared.

Theater is progress. Theater is always moving forward. Always innovating. Always creating something new. New Works are the lifeblood of the Theatre. Whenever a new play is given a World Premiere, it should be celebrated. TheatreWorks presented the world premiere of Upstate to great success.
