BWW Review: Kookoo For the BAROCOCO Poufs of Happenstance at Theatre Project
by Cybele Pomeroy - November 06, 2018
BAROCOCO is all-of-a-piece, a day in the life, or perhaps a year elapses. It's hard to tell. It's a study in contrasts, a lace-trimmed veil across the face of Godot. It's resplendent and silly, ridiculous and desolate, hilarious and horrible. In BAROCOCO, Happenstance Theatre is making Important Social Commentary. A historic piece which is currently relevant, beautiful and funny is a rarity in the world. Treat yourself to this fabulously stunning morsel of meaningful ephemera.

BWW Review: SWEAT at Everyman Theatre
by Rowena Winkler - November 04, 2018
When the world you've known your whole life starts falling apart due to forces outside of your control, are you able to roll with the punches?

What if the impact of those choices is caused by your friend? Or even your own mother?

by Jack L. B. Gohn - November 03, 2018
