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

Now onstage at 100 Lives Repertory, THE PAVILION is a play about time – the Narrator will tell you so at the outset. It’s also a play about scope. Craig Wright's poetic script opens with the creation of the universe and narrows, with breathtaking precision, to the story of two people at their 20...

Review: THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL at Portland Playhouse


by Krista Garver - May 07, 2026

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...

by Krista Garver - May 04, 2026
