Review: PARADISE BLUE at Portland Playhouse
by Krista Garver - October 16, 2025
Dominique Morisseau's PARADISE BLUE, now running at Portland Playhouse, is an intense, beautifully acted noir drama about community, legacy, and the forces that tear both apart. Set at the Paradise Club in Detroit's Black Bottom neighborhood in 1949, this jazz-infused play opens with a jolt — a trumpet solo pierced by a gunshot. It's a thriller of sorts that explores the individual forces that further complicate the societal impact of gentrification.

Review: THE BED TRICK at Artists Repertory Theatre
by Krista Garver - October 13, 2025
What did our critic think of THE BED TRICK at Artists Repertory Theatre? Is all well that ends well? If you’re familiar with Shakespeare's comedy, you know this is a loaded question. The play's supposedly happy resolution hinges on the 'bed trick,' a deception in which one person tricks another person into sex by impersonating a third. It's a troubling foundation for romance, and Keiko Green's incisive new comedy THE BED TRICK, now opening Artists Repertory's season, interrogates this ancient narrative device for our modern moment.

Review: PRIMARY TRUST at Portland Center Stage
by Krista Garver - October 10, 2025
When I saw Portland Center Stage lineup for this season, the show I was most excited about was Eboni Booth’s PRIMARY TRUST. I’d heard nothing but good things about this play, which won the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The plot is deceptively simple, but underneath flows a current of kindness, human connection, and the possibility of transformation – all themes that feel urgently necessary.
