Review: Uncharted Waters: Douglas Williams’ SHIP at Live Theatre Workshop
by Robert Encila-Celdran - Aug 12, 2025
Of course, off-color references are only gratuitous when taken out of context. In SHIP, Williams blends incisive commentary with dark, outrageous comedy, painting a vivid portrait of a unique, idiosyncratic trio. The play balances moments of reflection with incidental, often crude, humor, thereby crafting a jaded yet emotionally complex rhythm.

Feature: Neil LaBute Play Takes Center Stage at ATC Cabaret

To his credit, Klugheit sees the controversy as a chance to engage an otherwise piercing inquiry into our cultural obsession with physical beauty. REASONS TO BE PRETTY paints an unflinching portrait of seemingly reasonable Americans in emotional crisis -- socially well-adjusted folks who suffer from profound insecurity and power struggles.

Review: VENUS IN FUR Heats Up the Stage at Live Theatre Workshop
by Robert Encila-Celdran - Aug 10, 2023
Subversive and riveting, David Ives's clever adaptation of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's novella titillates and shocks, delving into mythology while blurring the line between the divine and the pedestrian. In channeling Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Ives's stab at foreplay is piquant and dangerous. Should the playwright continue to craft erotic content, he could secure a place among the genre-defining authors alongside Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin.

Review: A FUNNY THING Happened in a Relatively Short Play with the Unspeakably Long Title
by Robert Encila-Celdran - Nov 27, 2022
So here we are with a loud reminder of our mortal limits - not to mention the 'acceptable' limits of a public joke and a brazen sexual encounter - as Ms. Feiffer regards our presumed taboos with a shrewd riposte. I'm reminded of H.G. Wells' famous denouncement of the 'irreverent laugh,' man's presumed default from the paucity of insight into the natural order of things. Yet, in the playwright's judgment, irreverence is a natural byproduct of bottled outrage. There's no place in a sane world to land a good joke about terminal cancer - but now and then, wisdom takes the form of a middle finger, and with that comes a wink of personal advantage. Halley Feiffer attempts to reveal the unpredictable guffaw on the other side of grief; you have to face the uglies head-on, is all.

Feature: SAMANTHA CORMIER: Multifaceted Thespian Showcases One-Woman Show at Invisible Theatre
by Robert Encila-Celdran - Jun 22, 2022
Even so, what sets her apart from fellow actors is the catalog of engagements she drums up away from the spotlight. Sam (as locals fondly call her) is a gifted, do-it-all thespian: a scenic designer who thinks like a director, a choreographer who innovates posthaste, and a handywoman with a soft spot for power tools. That's not all. A buoyant charm that conspires with a quicksilver pace makes Samantha Cormier the quintessential youth leader of many a theater camp, a role she relishes during the off-season. I'm not sure there's someone more absorbed in various aspects of the theater year-round.

BWW Feature: VENUS IN FUR STEAMS UP NEW YEAR at Arizona Rose Theatre
by Robert Encila-Celdran - Jan 3, 2022
Some folks can be ostensibly sanguine in the face of disquieting global crises. Take Mark Klugheit, for instance, who is certainly attuned to the tumult of the news cycle, but whose singular antidote to the world's chaos and gloom keeps him in sober perspective: his love for the theater.

BWW Feature: VENUS IN FUR Steams Up New Year at Arizona Rose Theatre

It begins as a strained interplay between a fretful playwright/director and a high-strung, vulgar actress desperate for an audition. No sooner had they acknowledged their unsuitable chemistry than they found themselves enmeshed in a clever pas de deux that blurs our sense of reality. It’s an intellectual dance that unearths a primal game of sexual submission and domination, echoing what happens in the novel. A compelling point of reference: “Masochism” is a word inspired by the author’s surname.

BWW Reviews: Magical Arizona Onstage Productions' FOREVER PLAID
by Jeanmarie Simpson - Jan 6, 2014
Arizona Onstage Productions' FOREVER PLAID is a magical, delicious pastiche, a banana split with extra hot fudge, nuts and cherries on top. It is a thinly-plotted revue of songs from the day when men's four part harmony ruled the airwaves and halls from grange to Carnegie.
