BWW Review: Larry Shue's THE NERD at Chaffin's Barn
by Jeffrey Ellis - March 26, 2017 Larry Shue's The Nerd brings with it a fairly healthy and reasonably impressive theater pedigree: more than 400 performances on Broadway, critical acclaim and audience adulation for its West End run (in fact, it was the most successful American play running there in 1986), scores of regional and com...
BWW Review: GROOMED, Soho Theatre
by Charlie Wilks - June 16, 2017 How can a truth be told? How can a secret be spoken? The shame, guilt and fear of our childhood can haunt us into adulthood.
