Review: LOOKING OVER THE PRESIDENT'S SHOULDER at The Phoenix Theatre Company
by Herbert Paine - November 03, 2025
Though modest in scale, Chanel Bragg’s and Kelcey Watson’s production achieves gravitas, a testament to a life fully lived in history’s shadows. They have turned Still’s monologue into a reminder that history is shaped not only by those in power but also by those who carried the trays, polished the silver, and stood just behind them.

Review: & JULIET at Broadway In Tucson
by Zach Wetzel - October 31, 2025
& JULIET, playing at Broadway in Tucson, is a lively jukebox musical stuffed to the brim with charm. Shakespeare and his wife Anne have a little disagreement over the ending of ROMEO AND JULIET.

Review: LATER LIFE at Theatre Artists Studio
by Herbert Paine - October 27, 2025
A. R. Gurney’s LATER LIFE unfolds on a Boston terrace overlooking the harbor, a space suspended between the warmth of a party and the chill of the night air. It’s the perfect metaphor for the world Gurney’s works chronicle: gracious, tasteful, and ever so slightly paralyzed.

Review: DECEIVED at Arizona Theatre Company
by Herbert Paine - October 27, 2025
Patrick Hamilton’s Gas Light lit its first flame in 1938, a moody little stage thriller set in the fog-drenched backstreets of 1880s London. It was a venom-laced marital drama where domesticity was turned into a psychological trap.

Review: SUFFS at ASU Gammage
by Herbert Paine - October 15, 2025
The National Touring production of the Broadway musical SUFFS, now playing at ASU Gammage until October 19, didn’t arrive on the stage quietly. Like its subject matter, it gathered like a movement and was shaped by persistence. The show, written, composed, and, on its Broadway opening, led by Shaina Taub, is a reclamation of voices long overlooked and of equality battles still to be won.
