Travelogue: The Musings of a Regional Theater Critic's Week in New York City
by James Lindhorst - Dec 9, 2025
There is nothing like the holidays in New York City. Ice skating under the iconic Rockefeller Center Tree, watching the Rockettes high kick in Radio City Music Hall’s Christmas Spectacular, eating your way through the Winter Village in Bryant Park, and admiring the decorated storefront windows on 5th Avenue is unforgettable. But for this regional theater critic, all the holiday hoopla (which I enjoyed) is secondary to attending live theater in Manhattan.

Review: GOD OF CARNAGE at Castle Craig Players
by Sean Fallon - Oct 13, 2025
On Saturday, October 11th, I had the pleasure of seeing a hilarious comedy GOD OF CARNAGE as put on by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT. The show is written by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton, and directed by Catherine Pelkey. Catherine Pelkey helps bring out the best in this stellar cast that features Ryan Hemstock, Kaumudi Walokar, Matt Griffiths and Casandra Lim. With four performers of such a high level of talent, four is all you need! They gel excellently with each other, showing incredible stage chemistry and stage presence.

A History of Three-Handers on Broadway
by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - Oct 5, 2025
While a lot has been written about two handers, a term for two-person shows, less has been penned about three-handers. Yet, three-person plays are just as common a genre on Broadway as pieces with only two players. Currently, Art, by Yasmina Reza, is receiving an all-star revival at the Music Box.
