Review: KING JAMES at Barrington Stage Company
While on the surface, a play with basketball and one of its prominent players may seem a bit odd, KING JAMES proves to be a deep exploration of male friendship, its complexities, and how sports can bring people together and create a bond that goes beyond just grabbing a beer and watching the game.
Review: At Bill Hanney's North Shore Music Theatre, GREASE Is the Word and the Show to See

Over the course of the immensely entertaining and enjoyable, frenetically paced, roughly hour and a half presentation (without intermission), I smiled, nodded, laughed a great deal, cried to a much lesser degree, and felt seen, heard, and understood.
