Review: THE BODY'S MIDNIGHT at 100 Lives Repertory


by Krista Garver - February 11, 2026

It took about 10 seconds for tears to well up in my eyes during the opening monologue of THE BODY'S MIDNIGHT.

Review: IN CLAY at Broadway Rose


by Krista Garver - January 29, 2026

There aren't many full-length one-person musicals, which makes IN CLAY particularly intriguing even before you discover how exquisite it is. This fairly new musical by Jack Miles and Rebecca Simmonds excavates the true story of Marie-Berthe Cazin, a French painter and sculptor in the late 19th and e...
