Review: 10X10X10 PLAY FESTIVAL at Fells Point Corner Theatre Scores Tens Across the Board!
Tucked between row homes on a quiet, one-way street in Upper Fells Point lives an 18th century firehouse with a community whose heart could carry the entire city of Baltimore. No single event showcases this better than Fells Point Corner Theatre’s 10x10x10 Play Festival. This festival is not to b…
Review: MY FAVORITE SOCIOPATH 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. In our media environment we are frequently confronted by enormities that leave us very…

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!…
