NATURAL SELECTION is an excessive existential exploration of the ways women encounter their own subjectification.

Review: SLEEPING GIANT at The Road Theatre Company
In SLEEPING GIANT, it was clear I was witnessing more than a metaphor about the continuing evolution of MAGA.

Review: LES MISERABLES at Hollywood Pantages Theatre
While the new changes to this beloved musical are stunning, this iteration of LES MISÉRABLES fails to recognize human pathos.
Review: QUEEN MARGARET'S VERSION OF SHAKESPEARE'S WAR OF THE ROSES at Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum
