by Roy Berko - October 06, 2012

BWW Reviews: MOTHERF**KER Captivates at Dobama
by Roy Berko - October 01, 2012
THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT, the play that dare not speak its name, has a lot to say. In spite of the almost immediate negative reaction of some people to the title, the production makes for a very compelling evening of theatre. Congrats to Dobama for not steering away from the script because of the title and the realistic language.
BWW Reviews: Disappointing THE WINTER'S TALE at Great Lakes Theater
by Roy Berko - September 30, 2012
GLT's THE WINTER'S TALE is a disappointment. This is a difficult script to produce due to the many emotional and psychological levels which require a clear staging philosophy. Due to the lack of focused directing by Jesse Berger, the production never sets a clear course and leaves so much of Shakespeare's brilliance untapped.

BWW Reviews: XANADU at Beck Center Turns Bad Script Into Funky Fun
by Roy Berko - September 22, 2012
If you are in the mood for total silliness, want to hear some well sung classical modern songs, and desire to see some excellent dancing, XANADU is for you. The "Magic" may "Suddenly" take you to "Xanadu," allowing you to be "Suspended in Time," so, "Don't Walk Away" from seeing this show at Beck.
