BWW Reviews: PIRATES OF PENZANCE at Toby's is Silly and Sublime
by Jack L. B. Gohn - July 21, 2014
The heart of the operetta's appeal is the sublime silliness of its premise: pirates from the era of sail plundering Victorian steamships. It just never gets stale. And binding it all together is Sullivan's music. utside the sphere of grand opera, Sullivan has no equals on the stage except possibly Gershwin and Bernstein.

by Jack L. B. Gohn - July 20, 2014

BWW Reviews: Is There an I in Robot? - UNCANNY VALLEY at CATF
by Jack L. B. Gohn - July 15, 2014
Alex Podulke progresses by tiny gradations over the course of an hour and a half from impersonating a machine in speech and movement to a near-human in those regards, and one finds oneself saying, Of course that's how a machine trying to imitate a human would look, even though one has never seen it before.

BWW Reviews: An Overstuffed ONE NIGHT at CATF
by Jack L. B. Gohn - July 14, 2014
There are the bones here of a perfectly respectable play about rape and what comes after in the U.S. military and veterans' system. They are often overwhelmed by formulaic exposition and too much going on. The play needs to be broken down and retooled.
BWW Reviews: DEAD AND BREATHING at CATF
by Jack L. B. Gohn - July 14, 2014
The duel of these two characters is so absorbing and funny that I have to rate her black (in all senses) comedy as the strongest in this year's Contemporary American Theatre Festival. This is not just a duel of characters, but of actors. Lizan Mitchell, a face most viewers are probably familiar with from quality television like The Wire, is powerful and dignified, even with no clothes on - and delivers sharp-tongued zingers with scornful abandon. And N.L. Graham, a sassier sister of Laverne Cox of Orange Is The New Black (another great exponent of the art of making femininity issue from an originally male frame), mines every delicious wisecrack for all it might possibly be worth.
