by Kimberly Moy - February 27, 2017

It is also a Shakespearean comedy that stands the test of time with a plot that could be in any modern day romantic comedy film. While the verse is long winded, the plot is easy to follow and provides great belly laughs that are worth sticking through.

BWW Review: THIS IS OUR YOUTH at Macbeth Studio
by Geoffrey Lawrence - February 17, 2017
Imagine stepping off Orange Avenue into the lobby of what feels like an old-time New York Hotel.

The inside has been transformed to what appears to be the inside of an apartment belonging to a teenager from the 1980s. 'Who Knows the Sun,' by Velvet Underground is playing, and around the room are Frank Zappa posters. You can still hear the sounds coming from Orange avenue, which only adds to the New York feel of the apartment.
