Review: AN ILIAD at Baxter Flipside


by Judith Herbig - February 28, 2026

A powerful, intense solo performance by Alan Committie that drags The Iliad out of history and into the present. Raging emotion, stark visuals, a gripping soundscape and visceral physicality combine to expose the brutal, repetitive nature of war and humanity’s destructive ego....

Review: THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) at The Masque Theatre


by Judith Herbig - February 26, 2026

A lively, fast-paced and very funny romp through Shakespeare. Three equally talented performers, slick backstage work and simple staging keep the focus on the action. Affectionate, farcical and thoroughly entertaining....

by Judith Herbig - February 25, 2026

Review: AND THE GIRLS IN THEIR SUNDAY DRESSES is full of heart at the Baxter


by Faeron Wheeler - February 23, 2026

Review: THE NIGHT OF JANUARY 16TH at Milnerton Playhouse

Review: TWELFTH NIGHT gives a taste of La Dolce Vita at Maynardville


by Faeron Wheeler - February 02, 2026

If you're like many people who have difficulty telling Shakespeare's comedies apart, just remember that TWELFTH NIGHT is the one with the yellow stockings. It's also the one that's on at Maynardville for their 2026 season....

Review: THE OPERA SINGER at Baxter Studio


by Judith Herbig - January 23, 2026

A riveting two-hander, The Opera Singer peels back the diva’s glamour to reveal vulnerability and truth. Fiona Ramsay is magnetic, Owain Rhys Davies compelling. Sharp writing, elegant design, superb pacing....

Review: LISTENING TO WALLS WEAR OFF THEIR COLOUR at Baxter Theatre


by Michelle B Lewis - January 21, 2026

Listening to Walls Wear Off Their Colour is an intimate, thought-provoking experience that demands more than passive observation. From the moment the performance begins, the audience is called to be still, to sit back and listen, allowing the narrator’s voice to guide reflection....

Review: COLLEEN THE MUSICAL at Pam Golding Theatre At The Baxter


by Michelle B Lewis - December 27, 2025
