Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Trinity Repertory Company
by Christopher Verleger - Nov 21, 2025

“A Christmas Carol” at Trinity Repertory Company is as much a Rhode Island holiday tradition as snow, shopping, and Santa. I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t seen it since 2014, so this 49th annual production was especially new and fresh for me, much like revisiting an old friend whom I hadn’t realized how much I missed, and I understood once again why New Englanders trek to Providence year after year during the yuletide season for this magical experience.

Review: HAMLET at Alabama Shakespeare Festival
by Russell Warne - Apr 20, 2025

There is no play more iconic than Hamlet. So colossal is its reputation that the image of a man dressed in black holding a skull has come to represent the entire art form of live theatre.

Review: Bearing Witness: SOMEONE WILL REMEMBER US at Trinity Rep
by John McDaid - Jan 31, 2025

Bearing Witness: SOMEONE WILL REMEMBER US at Trinity Rep. A searing, deeply human world premiere that gives voice to veterans, civilians, and refugees. We go to the theatre for many reasons. Sometimes, we crave the spectacle of a Broadway musical; sometimes, we seek the grip of a powerful drama.

Review: THE EFFECT at The Gamm Theatre
by Jessica Tabak - Oct 2, 2024

It’s fun to say that romantic love is a matter of chemistry - fun, that is, as long as “chemistry” is metaphorical shorthand for the qualities and quirks that, when brought together, ignite emotions that feel like alchemy. But what if personal chemistry is not figurative, but literal: a combination of controlled substances and their effects that can be created in a laboratory as easily as on a date?
