Review: RHINOCEROS at THE CATASTROPHIC THEATRE
This company is at the top of its game, and the performances of George Parker and Kyle Sturdivant are iconic. But please, let’s progress in our politics and not make them do it again!…
Review: BABETTE'S FEAST at MIGHTY ACORN PRODUCTIONS
The acting here is superb, a very strong ensemble taking on a literary tale of how art can transform the world. It’s also a meditation on what we gain from immigrants who bring new perspectives, new expressions, and new art. At its heart, it’s about love and generosity of spirit.…

What occurs when your family name has more importance than you do? This question sits at the center of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' play Purpose, currently being performed at The Ensemble Theatre, and the answer is messy, hilarious, uncomfortable, and profoundly human.

Review: XANADU at The Garden Theatre
The thing about this cast is they are having fun and putting the play in play, and the comedy in musical comedy. It’s a blast of nitrous oxide, a giggle when you need it, and a surprisingly inspiring take on the creative forces of having questionable taste.…
