Review: THE PAVILLION at 100 Lives Repertory

Review: DOCTOR FAUSTUS at The Canon Shakespeare Company


by Krista Garver - May 07, 2026

You don't often get the chance to see DOCTOR FAUSTUS on stage. Christopher Marlowe's early 1600s masterwork is the ur-text of the Faustian bargain, the template for everything from the musical Damn Yankees to the Al Pacino-Keanu Reeves film The Devil's Advocate. And yet it rarely gets produced. Than...

Review: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at Keller Auditorium


by Krista Garver - May 04, 2026

Nearly 40 years after its Broadway premiere, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA continues to cast its spell. I saw proof of that everywhere at the packed Keller Auditorium, including a young girl clutching a teddy bear wearing a tiny Phantom mask. The now and future PHANTOM fandom is in excellent hands....
