Review: THE FLICK at Theatre Charlotte
by Perry Tannenbaum - Feb 21, 2026
Kyle J. Britt's high-concept presentation of Annie Baker's Pulitzer Prize-winning play was hit-and-miss at the old Queens Road barn, crash-burning frequently on audibility and unfortunate sightlines. Prospects are better for fuller enjoyment at The Independent Picture House, where the run resumes this weekend.

Review: STEREOPHONIC at National Theatre
by David Friscic - Feb 13, 2026
The heightened reality replete with elongated pauses –(do people really wait this long in real life to answer one another?) that emanates from the stage of the Pulitzer- Prize and Tony -winning production of Stereophonic –now being produced in a touring /edited two hour and 50-minute version at the National Theatre-- certainly grabbed my attention.

Review: EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL at Keegan Theatre
by David Friscic - Sep 18, 2025
The title of the devastating and psychologically complex play entitled Everything is Wonderful is considered to be code in the Amish way of life, but it is, concurrently, a bit of an ironic title as well for a play that looks to differing points of view for its appeal (the “English” culture might consider this phrase to be almost ironic).

Review: CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION at MIGHTY ACORN PRODUCTIONS
by Brett Cullum - Aug 22, 2025
CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION will probably hit hardest with those of us who took drama classes at some point, and were subjected to this uniquely silly torture that acting teachers come up with just to knock us all down a few pegs. I imagine those lucky enough to have evaded that will be giggling at the fate they dodged.
