Review: ORANGE FLOWER WATER at 100 Lives Repertory
by Krista Garver - October 01, 2025
As the lights dimmed at the end of ORANGE FLOWER WATER, the debut production of 100 Lives Repertory, a deafening silence settled over the audience, as if we were collectively deciding whether to clap or let out a primal scream. It was one of the most visceral theatrical experiences I've had in years, and catharsis wasn't optional — it was necessary. (We clapped. I screamed later.)

Review: TRIANGLE at Broadway Rose
by Krista Garver - September 30, 2025
When I first learned that a musical romance would be built around the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire — one of New York's most devastating industrial disasters (there’s an excellent book about it) — I'll admit I was skeptical. But TRIANGLE, with its intricate dual narrative structure, won me over. This isn't a show about the fire itself. Rather, the historical catastrophe is a catalyst for exploring what it means to open yourself up to finding love in unexpected places.
