Review: JOAN at Barrington Stage Company
by Marc Savitt - Aug 5, 2025
While there ae certainly plenty of laughs to be had, there is also much pain and tragedy as major milestones in her life unfold. While I believe that much of the content may have previously been in the public sphere, there are some aspects that are explored more intimately. Though I don’t believe anything particularly revealing is uncovered. This is biographical, not an expose but more of a tribute. Melissa knew that the theatre was a huge part of her mother’s life and decided that a play was the appropriate media vehicle in which to do so.

Review: THE ANGEL NEXT DOOR at Laguna Playhouse
by Amanda Callas - Oct 26, 2023
The Angel Next Door is a glittering, effervescent hit romantic comedy by Paul Slade Smith at the historic Laguna Playhouse. It’s an elegant, sweet-dry glass of champagne, bubbling over with non-stop laughs, merriment, glamor, and high-spirited hijinks. It’s hard to think of more fun you could have at the theatre right now, or really, more fun anywhere.

Review: THE ANGEL NEXT DOOR at North Coast Repertory
by Evan Henerson - Sep 20, 2023
Two of Smith’s previous plays have been mounted at the Solana Beach company, and the company commissioned Smith to create a new work to kick off NCR’s 42nd season. That play, THE ANGEL NEXT DOOR, directed by Artistic Director David Ellenstein, is a kick and a hoot. Maybe that makes it a kick-oot.

Review: FOR THE LOVE OF (OR, THE ROLLER DERBY PLAY) Opens Block Party 2019 in Winning Style
by Shari Barrett - Mar 14, 2019
Theatre of NOTE's production of 'For The Love Of (or, the roller derby play)' written by Gina Femia, which Center Theatre Group has remounted at the Kirk Douglas Theatre as part of their third annual Block Party: Celebrating Los Angeles Theatre, blasted into Culver City with a barrage of brilliant direction, choreography, artistic style and acting. And after seeing the original production in its super-small space, I can tell you the new production soars by encompassing ever possible inch of space, thanks to scenic designer Eli Smith, with enough impressive roller derby action to make you forget not one pair of skates ever touches the floor! That marvel of perfect direction and choreography can be credited to Rhonda Kohl who has created almost constant roller derby action utilizing the movement and acting skills of her talented cast
