Review: PRIMARY TRUST at Mark Taper Forum
by Evan Henerson - May 31, 2026
Booth’s deeply sympathetic rendering of a good man navigating a life of crises is 95 minutes of sublimity. And in the role of Kenneth, actor Petey McGee delivers a performance that is as throat lump-inducing as it is uplifting.

Review: FAIRVIEW at Rogue Machine At The Matrix Theatre
by Evan Henerson - Mar 23, 2026
Despite its title, its well-intentioned if cynical nod to diplomacy, Oz Scott’s production is a swift kick to the nether regions. You will probably laugh – hard and often, and you will emerge after 100 minutes with plenty to discuss.

Review: KID GLOVES World Premiere Musical Comedy at Skylight Theatre
by Shari Barrett - Jan 20, 2026
This world premiere musical comedy is fast-paced, hilarious, and sneakily poignant, skewering the utter depravity of reality TV and how it can corrupt even the most wholesome element of humanity – children!

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.
