With Koso, the energy shifts: these are not students learning a craft, but working professionals returning to it, refining it in real time. In this setting, the usual theatrical scaffolding falls away. With minimal design (and practical lighting), the actors generate tension through behavior alone, turning a small studio into a Mojave motel room with little help from the space itself. This isn’t minimalism for its own sake. There’s just nowhere to hide.
REYKJAVIK is less a play to be solved rather than a mood to be inhabited. That may frustrate some, but for others, it’s the kind of theater that embraces mystery, that resists tidy endings, that thrives in the uncanny spaces between genres.
MS. HOLMES & MS. WATSON – APT. 2B delivers bold feminist comedy with manic energy and clever gags, but its chaotic pacing and shallow mystery leave the story more frantic than fulfilling.
Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson - APT. 2B is a sidesplitting and unforgettable night at the theater. Directed by Marcia Milgrom Dodge 'MMD', the production sparkles with chaotic energy.
Arizona Theatre Company (ATC) brings the season to a close with Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson - Apt. 2B. This fresh and fast-paced comedy is written by America's most produced playwright, Kate Hamill, who is widely known for her adaptations of Emma, Pride & Prejudice and Little Women.

INTIMATE APPAREL: It is the great achievement of Arizona Theatre Company that Lynn Nottage's meditation on one woman's loneliness and desire is fully realized. Directed by Oz Scott, with a stellar ensemble, featuring Tracy N. Bonner's tour de force performance, the production is a must-see. Runs through March 3rd at Tempe Center for the Arts.
Arizona Theatre Company presents Intimate Apparel, a stunning drama by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage. Follow the journey of an African American seamstress in 1905 Manhattan.
Subversive and riveting, David Ives's clever adaptation of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's novella titillates and shocks, delving into mythology while blurring the line between the divine and the pedestrian. In channeling Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Ives's stab at foreplay is piquant and dangerous. Should the playwright continue to craft erotic content, he could secure a place among the genre-defining authors alongside Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin.
In its execution, a less than compelling and strategically misdirected production of Tennessee Williams's THE GLASS MENAGERIE is the current fare at Arizona Theatre Company.
For the record, director Chanel Bragg didn't have to secure a movie star to manifest a compelling production of her own. She features a charismatic powerhouse in Lillie Richardson, who submits a resounding performance as the flamboyant matriarch. Ms. Richardson strides with regal confidence and speaks with a stately optimism that defies her fear of an austere future. Amanda has conjured traditional perceptions of an imperious monster, but Lillie Richardson plays against that tendency, showing us an overzealous mother who only wants the best for her children. Indeed she fluctuates between illusion and reality, and in Richardson, we see Amanda's inability to distinguish them as a tragedy.
