BWW Reviews: Mustard Seed Theatre's Production of CRUMBS FROM THE TABLE OF JOY
by Chris Gibson - September 06, 2010
Playwright Lynn Nottage's CRUMBS FROM THE TABLE OF JOY, which is set in the 1950's, initially gives us more than enough plot for one play, presenting us with a grief-stricken widower who decides to pack up his two teenage daughters and haul them off to New York. But, Nottage isn't content to play out this scenario on its own, and opts to pile on contrivance upon contrivance in an attempt to create a sort of surreal slice of life comedy-drama. When it works, it's actually quite magical in execution, but when it doesn't, it just seems to be meandering aimlessly toward another predictably unpredictable twist that only serves to further muddy the heart of the story. Thankfully, Mustard Seed Theatre has put together an engaging production of this convoluted work that features solid acting and direction.

BWW Reviews: The Union Avenue Opera Production of PIKOVAYA DAMA (THE QUEEN OF SPADES)
by Chris Gibson - August 23, 2010
Tchaikovsky's opera, PIKOVAYA DAMA (THE QUEEN OF SPADES) is based on a story by Pushkin, but the libretto tweaks the story ever so slightly, by having the lead protagonist, Gherman, already in love with the object of his desire before the plot is firmly put into motion. And the change makes all the difference, imbuing the piece with a sense of romanticism that allows for a resolution that's more poignant and unsettling. The Union Avenue Opera have played their 'trump card' with a resplendently dark production of this tragic tale.
