Review: DRIVING MISS DAISY at Barrington Stage Company
by Marc Savitt - Jun 7, 2026

Cast and Crew deliver a high-quality production that is both simple and sublime; historically accurate, topically relevant; and well worth seeing. BSC Artistic Director, Alan Paul said: 'It's fair to say that Daisy has become an American classic, and when you watch the show, you will see how contemporary and relevant its themes still are.  This play endures because it speaks to the best of who we can be.  Alfred Uhry's beautifully observed characters remind us that empathy, respect, and friendship can emerge in the most unexpected places.

Review: BUST at Goodman Theatre
by Rachel Weinberg - Apr 29, 2025

Zora Howard’s BUST: AN AFROCURRENTIST PLAY opens with a mystery. In Huntsville, Alabama, Retta (Caroline Stefanie Clay) and Reggie (Ray Anthony Thomas) witness an all too familiar interaction between their friend Randy (Keith Randolph Smith) and two police officers — Tomlin (Mark Bedard) and Ramirez (Jorge Luna). But in the wake of Randy’s rage at the officers, something mysterious and surprising happens...keeping him safe from harm. It’s tough to write about the specifics of BUST because to reveal some of the play's secrets is to ruin the mystery for audiences. But Howard’s set-up essentially asks the question: What happens when Black rage is repackaged into a magical force and potentially one to keep the person experiencing it safe?
