Review: THE TEMPEST at The Colonial Theatre
Shakespeare, late in his career, braided many of his preoccupations—love, the machinations of court, magic, low comedy, visual spectacle, theatre itself—into what may be his culminant work, 'The Tempest.' The Colonial Theatre production in Wilcox Park, Westerly, ticks all these boxes, offering a...

Review: THE BODYGUARD: THE MUSICAL at Theatre By The Sea
What did our critic think of THE BODYGUARD: THE MUSICAL at Theatre By The Sea? I generally don’t get into love stories all that much-just a general preference-but Theatre By The Sea’s third entry into its 90th season, “The Bodyguard: The Musical” was so much more....
Review: AIRNESS at Contemporary Theater Company
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think about air guitar? Now try to imagine a national championship with actual stage performances and musical accompaniment. Who would ever do such a thing—and why?...
Review: Timely, powerful INCIDENT AT VICHY at Head Trick Theatre
Arthur Miller's 1964 drama explores how fascism paralyzed even those who considered resistance; this production at the Head Trick Theatre strips the play to its bones, focuses on the characters, and delivers a visceral punch....
Review: BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL Shines at Theatre By The Sea
Beautiful: The Carole King Musical is both a fantastic showcase for the staggering amount of famous songs King and Goffin wrote together, and an interesting look into one of the aspects of the music industry that doesn’t get as much attention–the music factory of the Brill Building in New York.�...

Review: GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART, GOODNIGHT at Wilbury Theatre Group

Review: INDECENT at The Wilbury Theatre Group
Much like a movie within a movie, a play within a play is always a risky endeavor, and The Wilbury Theatre Group's powerful, gripping production of Paula Vogel's Tony-winning drama, 'Indecent,' proves that not only are they up to the task, but confirms their status as veritable masters of this uniqu...
SIX Brings Feminist Fun to PPAC
Divorced, Beheaded, Died; Divorced, Beheaded, Survived–this handy little rhyme is likely what most Americans know best about the six wives of Henry VIII. Maybe if you were a devotee of the show The Tudors you know a bit more about Catherine of Aragon or Anne Boleyn, but after that, things get a ...
Review: WITCH provokes at Burbage Theater Co
What did our critic think of WITCH at Burbage Theater Co? In the world of WITCH - written by rising playwright Jen Silverman - demons are self-proclaimed 'merchants of hope' for people whose desires and fears have been forged by capitalism and patriarchy.

Directed with intricacy and precision by Tatyana Marie-Carlo, 'The Inferior Sex' takes place in 1972, when Vietnam, Watergate and women's lib dominated the headlines, and Shirley Chisholm (portrayed with an eloquent ferocity by Jackie Davis), the first Black woman elected to Congress, is making a hi...

Review: /A.DICK.TED/ at Wilbury Theatre Group

Review: COME FROM AWAY at Providence Performing Arts Center
