Review: ALEBRIJES at The Scoundrel And Scamp Theatre
by Zach Wetzel - October 22, 2024

Review: MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET at Arizona Broadway Theatre
by Herbert Paine - October 08, 2024
The real strength of Arizona Broadway Theatre's production of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is the cast – the excellent musician/performers who, while avoiding the imitation of certain obvious well-known character traits in their portrayals, manage to recreate specific elements of their real-life counterparts in a way that most of us will recognize and delight in.

Review: THE MINUTES at Stray Cat Theatre
by Herbert Paine - October 01, 2024
As presented by Stray Cat Theatre as its 23rd season opener, THE MINUTES, a blistering satire of small-town city council meetings, begins as one thing and concludes as something completely different.
