Review: South Coast Repertory Presents World Premiere Play THE STAIRCASE
by Michael Quintos - May 9, 2025
Set in the part of the 'real' Hawaii that tourists are unlikely to ever see, THE STAIRCASE—the World Premiere play from Noa Gardner directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch—is an admirable new play that features a superb acting ensemble, relatable themes, beautifully authentic cultural representation, and an intriguing (if slightly predictable) premise. Using many long stretches of orations to un-peel its surface layers, the play is mostly commendable in artistic execution and cultural specificity, but could, perhaps, use some more editing in its hopefully ongoing evolution.

Cape May Stage to Present THE MOUNTAINTOP, 5/21-6/13
by Tyler Peterson - Apr 30, 2014
Cape May Stage presents the New Jersey premiere of The Mountaintop, Katori Hall's fantastical take on the last night of Martin Luther King Jr.'s life. In this winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Play, Hall daringly tackles the challenge of depicting a legend with a lasting legacy and showing him for what he truly was - a mere man. It is a powerfully vulnerable portrait of King; he is stripped down and exposed in all his flaws, more human than ever.

A decade of ambition: Pittsburgh Playwrights completes the Cycle. Many arts organizations struggle in their first few years; and they survive those first lean years through sheer determination. So for a steelworker with no formal theater training to have the audacity to start a theater troupe that has reached a ten-year milestone is reason for pause.
