Interview: Isaac Gómez of THE NIGHTSHIFT BEFORE CHRISTMAS at Alley Theatre
by Brett Cullum - December 01, 2024
There are so many people in the world who have to work on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or other holidays. I really wanted to tell a story that could speak to that experience. You know those who are working hard to keep the world running during our holiday season.
Review: VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at 4th Wall Theatre Company
by Brett Cullum - November 29, 2024
I feel like this company, at this point in time, is simply happy to be here doing this show, and I can say the feeling is infectious. It’s not your typical holiday offering, but you can never be wrong with the wit of Christopher Durang and the magic of invoking the spirit of Maggie Smith. I’m thankful this season for companies like 4th WALL, which produce plays that offer the joy of what theater is all about.
Review: WINTER SOLSTICE at Rec Room Arts
by Brett Cullum - November 25, 2024
The author wrote this dark piece about a liberal couple whose mother invites a conservative stranger into their house on Christmas Eve to show how easily fascism marches in politely and with charm. It’s a tense and moody winter tale and warns of the ineffectiveness of the left when faced with the right’s ability to make folks nostalgic for times long gone. It’s perfect for this time of year and certainly pointed in our current political climate of 2024.
Review: SHUCKED THE MUSICAL at Hobby Center For The Performing Arts
by Armando Urdiales - November 25, 2024
Shucked is a laugh-out-loud, toe-tapping triumph that plants itself firmly in your heart. This wildly original musical weaves together gut-busting humor, heartfelt storytelling, and unforgettable songs to create a truly one-of-a-kind theater experience. From the opening number to the final curtain, Shucked is a rollicking celebration of small-town charm and big-hearted dreams. The book, written with razor-sharp wit, delivers punchline after punchline while still packing an emotional punch. Each character feels vibrant and relatable, their quirks and struggles bringing the story of Cobb County to vivid life.
Interview: Miika Stewart of LOVE BOMB at Catastrophic Theatre
by Brett Cullum - November 23, 2024
It is all about just telling stories through this little world that we create together, and many of us just bring in many of our personal experiences as actors or even just through our lives. And the show really invited that openness, for sure, because LOVE BOMB or just love in general is a topic that can go so many different ways.
