Review: HUMBUG, The Vaults
by Kat Mokrynski - November 24, 2025
Santa has lost his Christmas spirit, and it’s up to you to save it! That’s the main theme of Humbug - a three-hour long experience inside of The Vaults, which has been transformed into a holiday-themed wonderland. But that’s not the only thing audience members have to save - After a long wait out in the cold, they are introduced to Howard the Mailman (Perry Meadowcroft), who has had one too many cocktails in the bar and has somehow managed to lose every letter written to the Big Man in Red. Thrown in a waitress (Savannah Beckford) whose singing brings a Christas curse, and you’ve got yourselves in quite the pickle.

REVIEW: Cihangir Atölye Sahnesi Presents SALOZ'UN MAVALI
by Wesley Doucette - November 24, 2025
Make Portugal Great Again! In their production of Saloz’un Mavalı, adapted for Turkish stages by Can Yücel, Cihangir Atölye Sahnesi stages the clash between an imagined glorious past and a bleak, oppressive present. First performed in English as The Song of the Lusitanian Bogey in 1965, the play has, unfortunately, lost none of its relevance. Originally a two-act work, the CAS production condenses the material into just under an hour, but the ensemble fills that hour with a tightly woven collage of images, rhythms, and political critique.
