Review: VENUS IN FUR at Dirt Dogs Theatre


by Brett Cullum - March 06, 2026

For Knight, this represents her first chance to be the original aggressor rather than the avenging victim, and it’s wild to see her twist her narrative. She is stunning and statue-esque, and Olivia whiplashes between actress and countess with skill....

Review: THE GREAT GATSBY at Broadway at The Hobby Center


by Brett Cullum - March 04, 2026

The book is full of mysteries, unspoken judgements, and a vicious sense of classism mixed with ruthless self-preservation, and there is not a lot of this present in this interpretation, brought to life by Kait Kerrigan's book, Jason Howland's music, and Fitzgerald-inspired lyrics by Nathan Tysen....

by Jonathan Netek - February 20, 2026

Set in an Iranian classroom, the play unfolds less as a traditional narrative and more as a series of moments unfolding over time....

Review: GRAND HORIZONS at Mildred's Umbrella


by Brett Cullum - February 11, 2026

It’s funny, it’s clever, but it sometimes seems to get too caught up in itself as a script. Yet the acting here is top-notch, and the Mildred’s Umbrella production is a wonder in such a small space. Jennifer Decker’s direction is sublime, and she has a solid cast....
