Review: A MIRROR at Third Rail Repertory Theatre
When seeing a new-to-me play, I typically try to walk in knowing as little as possible.
Review: LIZARD BOY at Portland Center Stage
If you had told me I would cry my eyes out at a musical about a young man with green, scaly skin who only leaves his apartment once a year to go on a Grindr date, I would have given you the side eye.
Review: RIOT QUEENS at Fuse Theatre
As the Trump administration works to erase trans people from public life (literally removing the 'T' from LGBT on the government's website about the Stonewall Uprising, a movement to which trans people were central), it becomes urgent to understand that these events don't happen in a vacuum.
Review: ANGRY, RAUCOUS, AND SHAMELESSLY GORGEOUS at Portland Playhouse
Portland Playhouse is not known for playing it safe, so it's fitting that their latest production centers on a woman, Anna Campbell, who built her entire legend on one audacious act.
Review: RACECAR RACECAR RACECAR at Artists Rep
In Kallan Dana’s RACECAR RACECAR RACECAR, now running at Artists Repertory Theatre, a father (Anthony Green Caloca) and his adult daughter (Jerilyn Armstrong) head off on a cross-country drive from New York to California to clean out a storage unit.

How do we carry on when everything is falling apart? In YOU STUPID DARKNESS!, Sam Steiner's funny and touching dramedy now running at 21ten Theatre, four volunteers spend their Tuesday nights answering calls at Brightline, a listening service for people who need someone to tell them everything is go
Review: THE WIZ at Keller Auditorium
For years, I'd written off THE WIZ.
Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at Portland Center Stage
I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard, or heard an entire packed audience laugh so hard.
Review: IN CLAY at Broadway Rose
There aren't many full-length one-person musicals, which makes IN CLAY particularly intriguing even before you discover how exquisite it is.

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Portland Playhouse
Portland Playhouse’s annual production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL continues to be essential holiday viewing.
Review: THE WINTER'S TALE at Salt And Sage
Shakespeare's THE WINTER’S TALE is notoriously difficult to do well.
Review: LOUISA MAY ALCOTT'S LITTLE WOMEN at Portland Center Stage
What did our critic think of LOUISA MAY ALCOTT'S LITTLE WOMEN at Portland Center Stage? I had forgotten that Little Women opens at Christmas until I started rereading the book in anticipation of Portland Center Stage's production of Lauren M.
