Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts

We learn that the suburban fantasy is not sustainable, primarily because such a fantasy can only ever be a dream. The reality of suburban living, as told by Kimberly Akimbo, shows there is much more nuance to everyday life than the nuclear family with a white picket fence and a wholesome dinner at eight.

A History of Three-Handers on Broadway
by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - Oct 5, 2025


While a lot has been written about two handers, a term for two-person shows, less has been penned about three-handers. Yet, three-person plays are just as common a genre on Broadway as pieces with only two players. Currently, Art, by Yasmina Reza, is receiving an all-star revival at the Music Box.

by Charlie Thomas - Mar 11, 2024
