Ashley Robinson News

Lantern Theater Company has extended BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY through March 22, 2026 at St. Stephen’s Theater in Philadelphia. The Pearl Cleage drama is directed by Brett Ashley Robinson and explores life during the Harlem Renaissance.

Good theatre can be socially and emotionally regulatory. Finding a safe space to talk about heavy things in a nice way, in an ugly way, straight forward, or hidden in plain sight—The Bent’s production of In the Wake by Lisa Kron offered this in a really good piece of theatre.

The Bent, the Coachella Valley’s LGBTQ+ theatre, is presenting a wonderfully directed and acted and technically superb dramedy, IN THE WAKE, by Lisa Kron. The play is well-written and generates lots of laughs and lots of pathos, although I consider it a bit too wordy. Still, it is well worth seeing.

Responding to high demand, the Citywide James Ijames Pass now includes a two-show option, allowing access to major productions at Philadelphia's Wilma Theater and another venue for $90.

Lantern Theater Company will continue its 2025/26 season with the Philadelphia premiere of Blues for an Alabama Sky by Pearl Cleage. Guest director Brett Ashley Robinson leads an ensemble cast.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN al TEATRO QUIRINO DALLO SCHERMO ALLA SCENA, UNA DELLE PIU' INTENSE STORIE D'AMORE

One of the most powerful love stories of modern times arrives on Brazilian stages. Brokeback Mountain makes its São Paulo debut at Teatro Itália on January 14, marking only the second official stage production of the work worldwide. Adapted by Ashley Robinson from Annie Proulx’s acclaimed short story, the musical revisits the intense, unspoken romance between cowboys Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar in 1960s rural America. Directed by Moacyr Góes, the Brazilian production stars Marcéu Pierrotti and Júlio Oliveira and features an original score by Dan Gillespie Sells. Following a highly praised London run, the show blends music and drama to explore love, repression, intolerance, and the lasting cost of silence.

Following its recent regional premiere run, Philadelphia’s Wilma Theater is partnering with the League of Live Stream Theater (LOLST) to present a digital on-demand stream of A Summer Day by Nobel Prize-winning playwright Jon Fosse.

Robinson’s adaptation sticks to the development of the characters and deletes some unnecessary filler. Set in Nina Ball’s excellently appointed 5 & Dime during a drought, the once thriving town is now a dried-up skeleton, and the women brought together for their reunion are all caught up in the divergence between present realities and memories of 1955.
