Review: DUNSINANE at Marin Theatre Company
What did our critic think of DUNSINANE at Marin Theatre Company? MTC's opens their 2022-23 season with a wonderfully directed all-American production of Scottish playwright David Greig's Dunsinane, a fanciful sequel to Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Cygnet Theatre Launches Season 15 with ANIMAL CRACKERS
Cygnet Theatre will launch its 15th season with the musical comedy Animal Crackers, the hallmark of the Marx Brothers lunacy, based on the 1928 Broadway hit with book by Broadway masters George S.
