Review: THE WAVERLY GALLERY at Backyard Renaissance
by ErinMarie Reiter - Dec 4, 2025
Backyard Renaissance delivers an exquisite reminder: we do not choose when the people we adore begin to fade, but we do get to decide how fiercely we hold them while they do.

Review: ARMS AND THE MAN at Lamb's Players Theatre
by ErinMarie Reiter - Oct 27, 2025
“Arms and the Man”, the classic George Bernard Shaw play, is currently skewering the romantic ideals of going to battle or falling in love with wit at Lamb’s Players Theatre through November 16th. Under the sharp and playful direction of Deborah Gilmour Smyth, it turns 19th-century notions of heroism and passion delightfully upside down. It’s brisk, bright, very funny, and may have you craving something chocolate before it’s over.

Review: THE REMARKABLE MISTER HOLMES at North Coast Repertory Theatre
by Evan Henerson - Aug 6, 2022
THE REMARKABLE MISTER HOLMES isn’t meant for the purists. Nor is it remarkable. An audience has to slog through a tiring array of blowhards and buffoonery shot through with a tonal sensibility that treads a line between broad comedy and offensiveness.

It’s London in the 1890s. The city is besieged with a series of baffling crimes that only the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes and his new assistant can solve. Not only do they sleuth and scrutinize – they also sing!

BWW Review: NOISES OFF at Coronado's Lambs Players
by E.H. Reiter - Apr 25, 2018

NOISES OFF, now playing at Coronado's Lambs Player's through May 200th, proves this true in the farce that pokes fun while also simultaneously being a loving homage to the art of the theatre.
