by Amanda Barnum - May 15, 2026

Vertigo Theatre's 'The Verdict' was a fascinating look at one lawyer's quest to uphold the law and confront the powerful institutions that run Boston's churches, schools, and hospitals. For fans of John Grisham novels, you will find the story familiar yet captivating. For those audience members less inclined to opt for courtroom dramas, you'll find yourself glued to the edge of your seat.

Review: DION: A ROCK OPERA at Coal Mine Theatre
by Ilana Lucas - Feb 11, 2024

The tight, 70-minute DION is a visually compelling show which puts you right in the middle of the dangerous merriment, with terrific performances and some banger musical numbers. It only stumbles when, like one of its characters, it loses its head, trading its promising fluidity and timelessness to shackle itself to a single moment.

Review: KELLY V. KELLY at Canadian Stage
by Ilana Lucas - Jun 11, 2023

It’s called KELLY V. KELLY, but Britta Johnson and Sara Farb’s surprisingly moving new 90-minute musical could be called CAGE V. CAGE.
