by Roger Catlin - Nov 19, 2025

Review: TABLE 17 at Geffen Playhouse
by Evan Henerson - Nov 16, 2025

The fervor of a given audience – kind of its own character in this play - probably helps distract from the fact that, its sweet vibes aside, there’s not a lot of there in Lyons’ play. It’s a good time, but it’s light as a spritz of air freshener.

Review: THE RESERVOIR at Geffen Playhouse Gil Cates Theater
by Tracey Paleo - Jun 29, 2025

What did our critic think of THE RESERVOIR at Geffen Playhouse Gil Cates Theater? “Well, the Geffen sure knows their audience,” remarked my guest at the media preview of, THE RESERVOIR.  And I’d have to agree.  Between the spontaneous audience call backs, guffaws, tears, and chant-alongs that happened much in the second act, it’s probably safe to say, the show’s a hit.
