Fun Smart Musical Comedy Must End Mother's Day May 9...

What a way to end the Center Stage Cabaret Series. Baltimore native and Baltimore School for the Arts graduate, Tracie Thoms, rocked the Head Theatre before a sell-out crowd filled with family and friends Thursday evening. Thoms made a name for herself playing the role of Joanne in the film version ...

'East of Berlin' by Canadian Playwright Hannah Moscovitch is the final play of the series...

The almost-universal experience of life in alcoholic and/or abusive families can be hilarious. Christopher Durang's play, well-staged at FPCT, takes us into the heart of savagely-rendered darkness, and maybe even a few steps out again....

Terrific Production Deserves to Be Seen ...

It seemed an unlikely concept: whip up an evening of delight largely on the strength of a love of modern slang and consumer culture. Yet this froth of logophilia works just fine, in a champagne flute of a show....

Center Stage could have made a better programming choice than this overrated agitprop, but turns in a creditable performance...

It seems like only yesterday I saw the original Broadway cast of Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, but it was 22 years ago when it garnered seven 1988 Tony Awards including Best Musical. The first viewing of this phenomenon will almost always never be forgotten. This is such a c...

New love that ends in tears, tears that begin in new love, beautifully written, intelligently sung and acted....

Michael Healey's 'The Drawer Boy,' now at The Vagabond Players, has at its heart, a single question: Is it better to live with a lie which is comfortable and pleasant, or to face a truth which is not?...

Lee Blessing's 1985 play challenges with poor exposition, unbelievable and underdeveloped characters, and a conclusion that has not been dramatically earned. Fells Point Corner Theater confronts these handicaps in creditable fashion, with a standout performance by Jenn Mikulski....

Ira Hauptman's 'Partition,' now at Baltimore's Spotlighters Theater, is aptly titled, as the playwright explores the partitions that separate us from each other, but also cause divisions within our very selves....

Kimberly Schraf is endlessly impressive as 19th Century superstar actress Fanny Kemble, looking back over an impressive life onstage and off....

What a busy week it's been at Center Stage. Sunday was their very successful Radio Auction. The American premiere of Let There Be Love ends Sunday March 7 and a trio of three short works entitled Working It Out (by Aaron Sorkin, Lynn Rosen, and Rick Cleveland) runs to March 28....

New plays for college-age actresses provide a varied evening of impressive performances at University of Maryland, Baltimore County...

Tony Award winning musical tour deserves an A++...

Take two living dolls...literally...place them in a tiny New York apartment with a female Peter Pan, an aspiring photographer, and a heroin loving hip-hop artist, all to tell a story about how women, their mothers and friends relate and you have yourself THE LACY PROJECT, now at The Strand....

Their mission is to yearn and rut. The women lie and the men fall into hopeless fits of jealousy, the centrifugal force that guarantees an unhappy ending for all. The play is more about the dance of destruction than it is about the dancers - well, the dance and the Pinteresque dialogue. ...

Sondheim classic musical is given a rousing production under Signature Theatre's Artistic Director Eric Schaeffer...

Three actors perform a herculean task in tackling classic play....
