Review: SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE... a Touching, Comedic Take on Mental Health
by Andrew White - Jul 18, 2025
“Side Effects” is at heart a cautionary tale about what happens when we rely too much on the judgment of others, when professional knowledge pales in the face of simple human understanding. Loomer takes us on a whirlwind tour of therapists, nurses, and others, all of them ably embodied by a company of talented shape-shifters who play a succession of nurses, therapists, friends and family.

BWW Review: NICK'S FLAMINGO GRILL jazzes it up at Alliance Theatre
by David Muschell - Oct 9, 2018
Putting on a brand-new, original musical can be a daunting and challenging task for any theatre company. If you're doing a golden oldie such as, say, Camelot, you have a familiar score, and just about everyone knows the songs. Then again, Camelot was new once and someone had to give it a go, so I applaud the Alliance Theatre for kicking off their 50th anniversary season with Nick's Flamingo Grill, a new jazz musical written by Atlanta playwright Phillip DePoy. The show fits very nicely into the Hertz Stage, a beautiful black box space with the stage in the center and audience members on either side, making the story an intimate experience and getting all of us to feel as though we are the jazz club audience during the musical numbers. And what numbers they are! But more on that later.
