BWW Reviews: Theatre by the Sea Stages High-Energy, Highly-Entertaining CATS
by Veronica Bruscini - June 24, 2013
Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS is an ambitious undertaking for Matunuck's Theatre by the Sea. The venue's small stage area poses a challenge for the acrobatic, dance-heavy production, but the TBTS cast and crew meets and overcomes that obstacle with grace and lots of style.

BWW Reviews: Wilbury Group's IT'S A SPACESHIP NOW Is a Bumpy Ride to Nowhere
by Robert Barossi - June 21, 2013
New play development is one of the most essential and necessary elements to a thriving theatrical world. Playwrights must keep writing plays and their plays must be given the time to grow, develop, change, morph and grow again. And theater companies must be able and willing to give those plays the opportunity to do so. They must provide the incubator, where the perfect creative environment can be created to foster, nurture and support the development of young and growing works of theatrical art. In Rhode Island, The Wilbury Group is one theater that is taking up that mantle, with its Emerging Artists and New Works Series. They are providing just want new works need, offering to shepherd them through the process, from readings to full-scale productions. One such production is their current show, the inaugural production of the New Works Series, It's a Spaceship Now, conceived, written and performed by Stuart Wilson.

BWW Reviews: Counter-Productions Excels When They Keep it Simple With SPEED-THE-PLOW
by Robert Barossi - June 10, 2013
Once upon a time, a director told a group of young students of the theater to, "keep it simple, stupid." I know it happened cause I was there. This idiea of simplicity is not new or confined to theatrical productions, of course. In many facets of our life, simplicity is the way to go. Sticking to theater, though, Counter-Productions Theatre Company's current production of Speed-The-Plow is another good example of why simple is better.

BWW Reviews: Trinity's Triumphant GARDEN Blooms with Love and Laughter
by Robert Barossi - June 05, 2013
In most cases, when you have a pair or set of something, one is bound to be stronger or better than the other. They may claim to be, or try to be, but one is usually superior in some way. Alan Ayckborn's House & Garden is no different. In this theatrical pair, two plays designed to be performed simultaneously in adjoining theaters by the same cast, the clearly superior sibling is Garden, the second of the two to open at Trinity Repertory Company.

BWW Reviews: Trinity Gets its HOUSE in Order With Unique Theatrical Event
by Robert Barossi - June 03, 2013
It's not every day hat playwright can come up with something completely unique or different. Everything has been done before, they say. If Alan Ayckbourn hasn't accomplished an entirely unique feat with his plays House & Garden, then he's at least done something pretty rare. You see, House & Garden are designed to be performed together, at the same time, by the same cast, in adjoining spaces. They involved the same characters, in one way or another, and deal with stories that intersect in numerous ways. The trick is to make each one of them a high-quality play that stands on it own. In that regard, House, the first one to open at Trinity Repertory Company, is not entirely successful.
