Review: MY FAVORITE SOCIOPATH at Contemporary American Theater Festival

Review: MY FAVORITE SOCIOPATH at Contemporary American Theater Festival

by Jack L. B. Gohn · July 18, 2026

Thanks to a serious discussion wrought by the end, the play avoids being a mere entertainment. The characters are not merely competing, ruthlessly but wittily too, for whatever prizes journalism may have to offer, but are visibly debasing their souls to win those prizes, and with their souls, part o…

Review: REFUGEE RHAPSODY at Contemporary American Theater Festival

Review: REFUGEE RHAPSODY at Contemporary American Theater Festival

by Jack L. B. Gohn · July 18, 2026

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. In our media environment we are frequently confronted by enormities that leave us very…

Review: THE DIVINE SISTER at Vagabond Players

Review: THE DIVINE SISTER at Vagabond Players

by Lisa A. Crayton · June 19, 2026

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!…
