Review: BLACKBIRD at Dirt Dogs Theatre Co.
by Brett Cullum - Feb 24, 2025
This is a wonderfully produced version of an unflinching script, which may be the hardest part of BLACKBIRD. It feels so real that the fear factor of an abuser and a victim seething at each other or, worse, being tender to them feels too real sometimes.

Review: RACE is confronted by DIRT DOGS THEATRE CO
by Brett Cullum - Oct 21, 2024
It takes on the clash of white men, black men, and black women and fearlessly looks at all sides when confronted with a crime. Who will do the right thing? It’s a question that seems to hang over the country right now, so RACE could not come at a better time.

Review: APPROPRIATE Stuns at Dirt Dogs Theatre Co.
by Brett Cullum - May 25, 2024
It is a tense Southern psychodrama about family and the results of abuse on members of it. Cicadas, verbal sparring, racism, and outright brawls all make appearances as one would expect. Yet the show is still surprising in many turns and should have audiences laughing and gasping often simultaneously. The darkest of humor surfaces out of tragedy.

Review: THE PILLOWMAN at DIRT DOGS THEATRE COMPANY
by Brett Cullum - Mar 10, 2024
Malinda L. Beckham has always been a master of directing testosterone-fueled plays where men fight and abuse each other. She and her cast bravely take on Martin McDonagh’s script and make wise decisions. The pace is breakneck, never allowing the viewer to wallow much in the muck. She brings out the black comedy and never seems to fear that aspect.

Review: MISERY Hobbles Along at Dirt Dogs
by Brett Cullum - Mar 7, 2023
That Dirt Dogs would choose MISERY for their “season of love” makes perfect sense. As a company they have made a name for themselves by creating plays fueled by testosterone laden energy and provocative rough language. There is an intensity and violence that suggests MISERY would be a perfect project for them, and indeed this production proves that assumption mostly correct.
