Interview: Two Seans: Marlow & Brown of DEATH OF A DRAG QUEEN at Portland's THE ECHO Photo
Interview: Two Seans: Marlow & Brown of DEATH OF A DRAG QUEEN at Portland's THE ECHO THEATER CO.
by Gavin Glynn - Nov 30, 2025

DEATH OF A DRAG QUEEN is a hilarious glitter-streaked Southern gothic about love, loss, and the personas we build to survive. Set in a small Louisiana apartment doubling as a backstage dressing room, the play follows Cram Brulée—a fading drag legend—as she prepares for what might be her final performance. Haunted by memories and betrayals, Cram struts, spirals, and sews her soul back together in a one-drag queen showdown soaked in sequins and secrets. Equal parts camp and confession, it’s a lipstick-stained elegy for those of us who love too much, give too much, and believe in everyone but ourselves. Breaking new ground as a one actor/one drag queen live performance. 'Tuck after tuck, somethin's gotta give!'

Review: WORKING GIRL at La Jolla Playhouse
by Evan Henerson - Nov 22, 2025

WORKING GIRL ultimately soars and plummets based on the root-ability quotient of its title character. Singer and author Joanna “JoJo” Levesque can’t really be classified as a discovery. She’s as good as her material, which is solid, tuneful and plenty enjoyable.

Review: W71 at Williamstown Theatre Festival Photo
Review: W71 at Williamstown Theatre Festival
by Marc Savitt - Jul 23, 2025

Due to scheduling conflicts, I was able to avail myself of only a small sampling of the W71 events during the first weekend of programming. We attended a performance of MANY HAPPY RETURNS at 11am and Tennessee Williams’ CAMINO REAL at 2pm. We had time between to enjoy lunch and a bit of shopping on Spring Street. The performances were very well done, a bit non-traditional, and without a doubt up to the long standing and well-established standards / expectations associated with the WTF. Bravo to all involved in the resurrection of this Phoenix from the Ashes. Although, admittedly once skeptical (I am a former New Yorker) I am happy to highly recommend immersion in the newly re-imagined Williamstown Theatre Festival. You will have to move quickly though as W71 runs only through August 3. That said, I am already looking forward to what W72 will bring us in the Summer of 2026.
