Review: A searing MEASURE FOR MEASURE at Burbage Theatre Co


by John McDaid - May 18, 2026

A searing MEASURE FOR MEASURE. Burbage Theatre Co. offers a gripping production of Shakespeare's 'problem play'...

Review: TALK RADIO at The Players At The Barker Playhouse


by Yuliya Pokhylko - May 10, 2026

Just like a radio host’s shift, the show moves at lightning speed, following the conversations of Barry Champlain who is as enigmatic as he is exhausting to listen to. Nearly 40 years after the play was originally staged, the issues throughout the show still ring true today....

Review: A FINE 'DINING ROOM' AT GRANITE THEATRE


by John McDaid - May 08, 2026

he set immediately grabs you when you walk into the theatre: An intricately crafted dining room, set on a stage with a pronounced tilt, in front of which sits one of those little museum gallery cards in a frame: 'Dining Room. American. 20th Century.' It is immediately clear that director and set des...

Review: Kimberly Akimbo at Providence Performing Arts Center


by Andria Tieman - May 07, 2026

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


by Christopher Verleger - May 05, 2026

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


by Christopher Verleger - April 24, 2026

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...

Review: PRIVATE LIVES at The Arctic Playhouse


by Christopher Verleger - April 21, 2026

Arctic Playhouse’s remarkably stylish, extraordinarily well-acted production of Noël Coward’s 1930 farce, ‘Private Lives,’ pokes fun at the idea of marriage as little more than a social construct while speculating whether a toxic relationship is conceivably better than one without any passi...

Review: PRIMARY TRUST at Trinity Repertory Company


by Jay Pateakos - April 16, 2026

All of us have our safe space, our comfort zone amidst the chaos of the world but what if that's where you spend most of your time and suddenly, that safe space is shattered?  Can you even recover? Where would you go from there?...

Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Providence Performing Arts Center


by Jay Pateakos - April 15, 2026

The Outsiders musical struck a seminal chord at the Providence Performing Arts Center last night, combining richly harmonic music with songs that speak to your very soul.  Believe the Hype!  This Tony Award winner sets itself apart from the pack early on and never looks back!...

Review: The Cripple of Inishmaan at The Gamm


by Andria Tieman - April 13, 2026

The Gamm has dipped back into Martin McDonagh’s canon (previous productions include Hangmen, 2023, A Skull in Connemara, 2016), for their latest production–The Cripple of Inishmaan.  Set in the remote Aran Islands, this play shows what feels like a softer side of McDonagh in that it’s a peek ...
