Review: LATER LIFE at Theatre Artists Studio
by Herbert Paine - October 27, 2025

Review: DECEIVED at Arizona Theatre Company
by Herbert Paine - October 27, 2025

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.

Review: THE ROADS TO LOCH LOMOND at The Phoenix Theatre Company
by Herbert Paine - October 13, 2025
THE ROADS TO LOCH LOMOND is a stirring, beautifully crafted musical that wears its heart on its tartan sleeve. The Scots never had it easy in their struggle against the British crown.
