Review: I HATE HAMLET at Ghostlight Theatre
by Cheyenne Lewis - December 06, 2025
One of the most difficult decisions an actor can face is the choice between financial gain and artistic integrity.

Review: SHUCKED at ASU Gammage
by Herbert Paine - December 03, 2025

Review: LOVE AND INFORMATION: TFTV Takes on Churchill's Collage at School of Theatre, Film & TV
by Robert Encila-Celdran - November 24, 2025
In a piece defined by moments that dissolve as quickly as they form, the dedication lends the evening a quiet gravity, where the act of gathering in the Tornabene becomes its own gesture of remembrance. In many ways, the Tornabene itself becomes a collaborator. The theatre's quirky yet flexible geometry resists the predictability of a conventional stage picture, requiring actors to carve presence from angles, tiers, and distances that can shift the emotional logic of a moment.
