Review: American Repertory Theater's TWO STRANGERS (CARRY A CAKE ACROSS NEW YORK) is Delicious Treat
by R. Scott Reedy - June 02, 2025
The term “rom com” has often been used to describe the musical “Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York).” And while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, unless it means a steady diet of only Hallmark and Lifetime movies, it’s also a bit like comparing supermarket cake with one fresh from a bakery.

Review: THE ELEPHANT MAN at Berkshire Theatre Group
by Marc Savitt - June 01, 2025
The production is uniformly strong in all respects as is the cast. Even the unseasonably cold and damp weather during the opening weekend helped to set the proper atmosphere. Standout performances are delivered by Laura Shatkus, Harry Smith, and Michael Wartella. The latter incorporating subtle contortions from head-to-toe and delivers a performance that allows us to see a man that most see as “hideous” and “grotesque”, intimately as those who came to know Merrick as rather much like most despite the differences, intolerance, and disdain so largely afflicted upon him.
