Review: PRIMARY TRUST at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley


by Steve Murray - March 09, 2026

TheatreWorks and director Jeffrey Lo must have been licking their chops with the chance to produce the regional premiere of Eboni Booth’s Pulitzer Prize winning Primary Trust. In Lo’s skillful hands, and with a seasoned powerful cast, Primary Trust is a winner – both deeply emotional and full ...

Review: SPAMALOT at Golden Gate

Review: IMPROBABLE FICTION at Masquers Playhouse


by Kelly Rogers Flynt - February 11, 2026

IMPROBABLE FICTION at Masquers Playhouse is a tale of two parts. Don’t let the easy-going first half lull you into complacency. When the action hits, it comes in quick succession with quippy lines, funny costumes, over the top dramatics, and plenty of belly laughs....
