Review: MY FAVORITE SOCIOPATH at Contemporary American Theater Festival
Thanks to a serious discussion wrought by the end, the play avoids being a mere entertainment.

Review: REFUGEE RHAPSODY at Contemporary American Theater Festival
Refugee Rhapsody, by Yussef El Guindi, is kind of funny. You may consider that an odd trait for a play about violence, racism, immigration and the dangerous effects of celebrity culture, but it happens to be true.

Review: THE DIVINE SISTER at Vagabond Players
THE DIVINE SISTER is a devilishly funny. It is a fun, comedic, irreverent, and enthralling. It's unlike any of the works that inspired it. The play will seem vaguely familiar at times, but it stands on its own as uniquely creative!…

Review: THE DIVINE SISTER at Vagabond Players Ignites Heavenly Delight!
