In true repertory fashion, nine of the ten actors who perform Quill's 'Twelfth Night' are also presenting 'The Bottom Show,' featuring the rude (in this case, very rude) mechanicals from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.

The reliable Shakespeare comedy is half of a summer repertory season, with a company of ten actors rotating between two plays.

Richmond favorites Desiree Roots and Scott Wichmann, as Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, swing audiences through a delightful selection of beloved songs.

Richmond Triangle Players has had occasional live productions going through the pandemic, but its new '4000 Days' is the first in-person show for many newly vaccinated theatergoers. The socially distanced, masked patrons in the audience seemed happy to be in a theater at all, but '4000 Days' is only a mild inducement to come back.

Firehouse Theatre's production of 'Krapp's Last Tape' brings thing too-rarely-produced masterwork to brilliant life with the collaboration of director James Ricks and actor Alan Sader.

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.
