Review: APPLES IN WINTER at Gremlin Theatre
by Jared Fessler - Mar 29, 2024
What did our critic think of APPLES IN WINTER at Gremlin Theatre? Miriam bakes a sensational apple pie, and today she faces a special request to recreate her signature recipe. However, this request comes at a heavy emotional expense: she must confront a heinous act from over 20 years ago, for which her son now sits on death row.
BWW Review: LITTLE WOMEN: THE BROADWAY MUSICAL at Artistry Theatre And Visual Arts
by Joe Sarafolean - Nov 18, 2021
Little Women written by Louisa May Alcott, is perhaps known as one of the most formative literary works when it comes to young women. So, it may come as no surprise that it has been adapted countless times for the screen and stage, perhaps most notably the 2019 film directed by Greta Gerwig and the 2005 musical starring Sutton Foster in the star turning role of Jo March.
BWW Review: Skillful, Riveting A DOLL'S HOUSE PART 2 at Jungle Theater
by Karen Bovard - Jan 21, 2020
If the idea of an update to one of the world's most groundbreaking plays makes you dubious, because you think it will be a stodgy yawner or because you believe classics should not be messed with, or if you know little about Ibsen's most famous play, and so think you'll be too clueless to get this one, be reassured: the Jungle's production of A DOLL'S HOUSE PART 2 is both accessible and riveting.
BWW Feature: Inclusive and Contemporary AS YOU LIKE IT at Guthrie Theater
by Karen Bovard - Feb 23, 2019
Director Lavina Jadhwani had a clear intention underlying casting and concept in the Guthrie's current production of AS YOU LIKE IT: to enable audience members from many different heritages and sexualities to see themselves represented on stage. Her intent was fueled, in part, by her own memories of going to theater as a child, and loving it, but never seeing someone who looked like her on stage; she is of South Asian descent. This production is, in Jadhwani's words, meant to be "hereish and nowish" and is informed by a deliberately intersectional feminist lens.
