Review: ONCE UPON A MATTRESS at Broadway Rose


by Krista Garver - May 29, 2026

With music by Mary Rodgers and lyrics by Marshall Barer, ONCE UPON A MATTRESS is a comedic musical romp based on the fairy tale 'The Princess and the Pea.'

Review: X at Third Rail Repertory Theatre


by Krista Garver - May 28, 2026

Review: THE PAVILLION at 100 Lives Repertory


by Krista Garver - May 20, 2026

I’m far from an expert on the SpongeBob SquarePants universe, but I've watched enough episodes to have completely fallen for the little yellow sponge in square pa...

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....
