BWW Reviews: Somewhat Predictable, but Still Very Entertaining, the Guthrie's SKIING ON BROKEN GLASS
by Noah Lee Jordan - November 05, 2013
It's opening night of David Goldstein's SKIING ON BROKEN GLASS at the Guthrie and as the play forms around me, it feels all too familiar-a love that makes no sense, an escort, unsupportive peers, and a constant battle of conscience. The play is just a little expected but in the end it leaves you with something to chat about by the water cooler and captures a few very real moments that make it all worthwhile.

BWW Reviews: Theatre Pro Rata's GOOD WOMAN OF SETZUAN is Certainly Something to Contemplate
by Noah Lee Jordan - October 29, 2013
It's a particularly wearisome Monday evening when I manage to see Theatre Pro Rata's production of GOOD WOMAN OF SETZUAN, and let's be honest—I'm in a foul mood. The lights dim, and immediately I check my phone to countdown the minutes until I can leave. Fast-forward a few hours and by the end of the play I was glad I made the trip.
