Review: CHOIR BOY at Actor's Express
by Joseph Harrison - Aug 11, 2026
Finding the courage to be yourself is rarely easy. Finding that courage in a place where tradition, expectation, and conformity are woven into the fabric of daily life can feel nearly impossible. That tension sits at the heart of CHOIR BOY, now on stage at Actor's Express. Tarell Alvin McCraney's powerful coming-of-age drama explores what it means to live authentically when doing so comes at a cost. Along the way, it examines friendship, faith, family, masculinity, and identity through characters who feel remarkably real. The result is a production that is both deeply specific in its portrayal of the Black male experience and universally relatable for anyone who has ever felt like they did not quite fit the traditional mold.

Review: BEETLEJUICE at National Theatre
by David Friscic - Jul 12, 2026
The current touring production of Beetlejuice, now playing at the National Theatre, is an odd theatrical piece –in that it is really more of an ostensible cult musical event for the generations in their twenties, thirties, and early forties. This in itself is perfectly fine, but I must admit that this musical had none of the edgy cult musical appeal of such marvelously innovative and witty cult musicals as The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Little Shop of Horrors. There should be some measure of real solid wit and interesting songs in even the most beloved generational cult musicals.

Review: DRIVING MISS DAISY at Barrington Stage Company
by Marc Savitt - Jun 7, 2026
Cast and Crew deliver a high-quality production that is both simple and sublime; historically accurate, topically relevant; and well worth seeing. BSC Artistic Director, Alan Paul said: 'It's fair to say that Daisy has become an American classic, and when you watch the show, you will see how contemporary and relevant its themes still are. This play endures because it speaks to the best of who we can be. Alfred Uhry's beautifully observed characters remind us that empathy, respect, and friendship can emerge in the most unexpected places.
