BWW Review: TITANIC THE MUSICAL at Broad Brook Opera House

by Joseph Harrison — May 14, 2017

by Sean Fallon — April 23, 2017

An extremely talented cast of five puts on an amazing show with acting, singing, and dancing that brings 1950s and 1960s music, primarily doo-wop, to life in a way that keeps the audience involved and entertained throughout the entire show.

BWW Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at TheaterWorks

BWW Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at TheaterWorks

by Joseph Harrison — April 3, 2017

Anyone who knows me knows I am passionate about the theatre and about the rare and radiant feeling that can only come from a few hours in a darkened space connecting on an emotional level both with a set of actors and those around you sharing that common experience.

BWW Review: CHAPATTI at Square One Theatre Company

by Cindy Cardozo — March 15, 2017

BWW Review: CLOUD 9 at Hartford Stage

BWW Review: CLOUD 9 at Hartford Stage

by Joseph Harrison — March 13, 2017

Sexual politics, liberation and the cost it weighs on those seeking it (and from whom they are seeking it from), and the fluidity of expression (both in gender and in sexuality) are all on display at Hartford Stage in its latest production of Caryl Churchill's CLOUD 9.

BWW Review: SUNSET BABY at TheaterWorks

BWW Review: SUNSET BABY at TheaterWorks

by Joseph Harrison — February 6, 2017

BWW Review: [TITLE OF SHOW] at Playhouse On Park
