by Chloe Rabinowitz - Apr 18, 2022

BWW Review: An Act of God at NextStop Theatre Company
by Timothy Treanor - Aug 23, 2021
Is it time to hold God (inhabiting the body of Jacob Yeh) to account? God knows – forgive the reference – we have occasion to do so. Even as we hunker, masked, vaccinated and socially distant, within the confines of NextStop Theatre Company, we add more counts to our indictment – a terrible disease, economic disruption, social unrest. And that’s just for us, the richest country in human history! At least we don’t have to worry about religious maniacs entering our homes and shooting us. Yet.

BWW Review: TINKER BELL Joyfully Flies to Adventure Theatre MTC
by Sam Abney - Jun 27, 2018
Peter Pan is possibly one of the most commonly adapted and re-adapted works for the stage. From Peter and the Starcatcher to Finding Neverland and everything in between, there are constant tweaks and updates to this classic that make it resonate with new generations. Adventure Theatre's newest adaption, Tinker Bell, is a good family-friendly adaptation and is worth visiting just for the sheer fun. Patrick Flynn's script, however, runs out of pixie dust before the work can reveal anything about the story that hasn't already been heard.

BWW Review: MISTERMAN at Dance Loft On 14
by Molly Korroch - Nov 24, 2017
'It looks like they forgot to clean up from the last performance!' joked a man in the audience. It's true. The stage at the Dance Loft on 14 looks like the remnants of a bad garage sale. It's littered with cardboard boxes and paper scraps, an old table and chairs, and a huge heap of empty Fanta cans spills from a metal garbage can.

BWW Review: Sail the High Seas with HOW I BECAME A PIRATE
by Keith Tittermary - Sep 26, 2017
This summer when I was watching a movie, I saw a trailer for the yearly sequel of Pirates of the Caribbean. I thought to myself, are pirates still a thing? With so many other film villain tropes out there, why do we keep coming back to pirates? Well, as evident by the hordes of children adoring How I Became A Pirate at Adventure Theatre MTC, the pirates are alive and well and soaring the high seas.
