Review: CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF at The Gamm Theatre
As I am writing this for the Rhode Island section of Broadway World, I feel as though I am uniquely equipped to talk about Tennessee Williams, or at least the world that so often lives inside his work, being that I am a Southerner who has now spent roughly thirteen years in New England.…
Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at Wilbury Theatre Group
The Wilbury Theatre Group wrapped up it's 2025-2026 season with Conor McPherson's Tony-nominated stylistic musical 'Girl From The North Country'. Set in an a Depression-era Duluth, Minnesota boarding house in 1934, McPherson weaves a tale of multiple families and people's lives converging together …
Review: THE LION KING at Providence Performing Arts Center
The Lion King swept the Tony awards when it was on Broadway, and even for this semi-skeptical theatre reviewer, it’s easy to see why. It seems impossible to translate a cartoon about the lives of animals into a stage production performed by people, or at least, it seems like it will be corny. …

Review: A FINE 'DINING ROOM' AT GRANITE THEATRE

American. 20th Century.' It is immediately clear that director and set des…
Review: Kimberly Akimbo at Providence Performing Arts Center
At it’s most basic, Kimberly Akimbo tells the story of a sixteen-year-old girl who has a chromosomal disorder that makes her age rapidly. While that’s already an interesting premise, this musical goes much further than a typical ‘issues’ play and creates something wholly unexpected and qui…
Review: HIEROGLYPHICS CURRENCY at Daydream Theatre Company
Nowadays when you tune in to watch the news or read the latest headline in your social media feed, it’s difficult to differentiate between fact and fiction. Furthermore, there is no middle ground, and everything is described as a superlative—like the “least” effective or the “most” offen…
Review: EDGES at Reverie Theatre Group
Reverie Theatre Group presents ‘Edges,’ a funny, thoughtful, highly entertaining four-person song cycle, with no spoken dialogue or discernible plot, that explores the challenges of young adults, including family dynamics, career opportunities, and most significantly, the trials and tribulations…
