by Yuliya Pokhylko — February 21, 2026
When the lights go out, two accidental acquaintances have no one but each other to share the horrific experience - a bartender who knows more than she’s willing to reveal, and a teenager in a school uniform. An unlikely visitor at a bar...

Review: The Roommate at Trinity Rep

Review: The Roommate at Trinity Rep

by Andria Tieman — February 4, 2026
Jen Silverman’s The Roommate is a tight two-hander about two empty-nesters who move in together due to economic necessity (and other, spoilery reasons), and end up in a situation neither could have predicted.  The Odd Couple + The Golden Girls seems like the obvious sources of inspiration here, b...

Review: SUFFS at Providence Performing Arts Center

Review: SUFFS at Providence Performing Arts Center

by Andria Tieman — January 21, 2026
White Women in the United States didn’t earn the right to vote until 1920, and Black women weren’t allowed to vote until 1965.  This shocking history and the effort it took for women to secure these rights is something many of us didn’t learn in school, but thankfully the musical Suffs is her...

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Trinity Repertory Company

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Trinity Repertory Company

by Christopher Verleger — November 20, 2025
“A Christmas Carol” at Trinity Repertory Company is as much a Rhode Island holiday tradition as snow, shopping, and Santa. I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t seen it since 2014, so this 49th annual production was especially new and fresh for me, much like revisiting an old friend whom I had...

Review: FRANKIE AND JOHNNY IN THE CLAIR DE LUNE at The Gamm Theatre

The man and woman featured in Gamm Theatre’s marvelous, endearing production of Terrence McNally’s 1982 play, “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune,” are both unmistakably struck by Cupid’s arrow, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re ready or even expected to live happily ever ...

Review: WITCHING HOUR SOCIAL CLUB at Burbage Theatre Co

Review: WITCHING HOUR SOCIAL CLUB at Burbage Theatre Co

by John McDaid — October 20, 2025
Horror, they say, is a mood rather than a genre. With the right twist, even a romcom can evoke fear and revulsion. And the Burbage Theatre's world premiere of James Lucey's 'Witching Hour Social Club' proves that point with an elegant layering of the macabre, absurdism, and self-aware humor....
