Richmond Triangle Players has announced the five winners of its inaugural SoQueer Playwrights Festival. The biennial festival of LBGTQ+ works will begin with a competition among these five for a final winner that will receive a year in development with the theater.

Richmond's TheatreLAB won ten awards and eight went to Virginia Rep in the 13th annual Artsies, presented virtually for the first time.

Cadence Theatre's site-specific Sitelines initiative will be extended in a community partnership to create Sitelines BLM.

A new adaptation of Oscar Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' is presented both live and streaming by Firehouse Theatre.

Back in the Fieldens Cabaret days, Richmond Triangle Players put on an affecting production of the Leopold and Loeb musical 'Thrill Me.'

A spectacular small musical I adored, and a spectacular big one I missed.

I would never have made the effort to see all Shakespeare's history plays on my own. But Richmond Shakespeare made it easy--and wonderful!

I love that Virginia Rep had the guts to produce 'Spring Awakening' in 2012. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to see it again.

I remain awed by Swift Creek Mill's production of 'Side Show.' the 1997 musical focused on the real-life story of Daisy and Violet Hilton, conjoined twins born in 1908 who were exhibited as circus freaks and then became vaudeville stars.

In 2010, Carol Lynn Pearson's 'Facing East' was the perfect show to usher Richmond Triangle Players into their own home.

Peak summer wackiness resulted when Firehouse did 'American Idiot' and 5th Wall did 'The Toxic Avenger.'

The two Richmond productions of David Yazbek's musicals made outstanding memories.

Memories from some Richmond Shakespeare shows of yore that remain clear in my heart but maybe not so much in my head.

Thinking about 'The Late Henry Moss,' the Sam Shepard play that won the Richmond Theatre Critics Circle award for Best Play in 2008.

Two related selectionsa?"a?oeThe Last Days of Judas Iscariota?? and a?oeCorpus Christi.a?? And one that got awaya?"a?oeGrand Concourse.a??

Before Stage 1 Theatre Company opened in Mechanicsville, they put on a blockbuster convert performance of 'Ragtime' that lives on in memory.

Swift Creek Mill has had a lot of eras that could be called golden, but for me the period around 2008 was memorable. In particular, I recall loving their production that year of a?oeOnce Upon a Mattress.'

Blend a hilarious opera parody with five all-out comic singer/actors and you have 'Das Barbecü' at Swift Creek Mill Theatre, a fond memory from 2005.

If anyone was paying attention (though I don't know why anyone would), they probably noticed that I was in the bag for 'Preludes' long before it ever hit the stage.

From everything I've heard, the 2013 production of 'bare: a pop opera' at Richmond Triangle Players was a knockout. I, alas, was in San Diego.
