Review: PLAGUE PLAY at Valley Players


by Cheyenne Lewis - June 02, 2026

PLAGUE PLAY is an examination of violence, how it is justified, and if that justification is truly valid. This modern language presentation of the plagues of Egypt gives audiences a chance to see Moses and Aaron on a more human level. Valley Players’ production is a somber yet comedic look into Mo...

Review: PEPPERMINT BEEHIVE at Space55


by Cheyenne Lewis - May 30, 2026

PEPPERMINT BEEHIVE is a comedic and edgy look into Queer love and real-life struggles that many Phoenix locals are struggling with.

Review: THE WIZARD OF OZ at Hale Centre Theatre


by Cheyenne Lewis - May 19, 2026

Review: OUTSIDE MULLINGAR at Theatre Artists Studio


by Herbert Paine - May 18, 2026

There are productions that succeed because the script is strong, and productions that succeed because performers manage to elevate familiar material. Theatre Artists Studio’s production of John Patrick Shanley’s OUTSIDE MULLINGAR achieves something rarer: a complete unity of tone, performance, l...

Black cowboys and the Black rodeo have a rich history that continues to this day.
