REVIEW: New Jewish Theatre Opens Season with CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FATHER
by Chris Gibson - October 02, 2009
CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FATHER is kind of a misnomer. The character of Eddie Ross (nee Goldberg) doesn't converse as much as harangue the people around him. But, don't take this as a knock on Herb Gardner's play; it's more of a clarification than anything. This isn't just the ramblings of a bitter old man, but an exploration of his particular experience immigrating to America, and trying to fit in by rejecting his Jewish heritage.

REVIEW: Orange Girls Present WONDER OF THE WORLD As They Close Their 2009 Season
by Chris Gibson - September 29, 2009
As a swansong for their theatre company, WONDER OF THE WORLD acts as a whimsical sendoff; a farcical piece filled with quirky characters and hilarious dialogue. I'll miss the Orange Girls because their choices were consistently engaging and entertaining, and they always featured talented casts in their productions. WONDER OF THE WORLD is no exception, with solid performances given all around.

REVIEW: Echo Theatre Company's Regional Premiere of THE SECRETARIES by the Five Lesbian Brothers
by Chris Gibson - September 29, 2009
THE SECRETARIES is a bizarre play, mixing strange elements and eccentric characters together like something out of a John Waters or David Lynch film. The climax alone features a bevy of women in lingerie covered in blood; an image that evokes the exploitation era of the 1970's. To make it work it requires a very talented and brave cast, and a director who's not afraid to take a risk or two.

REVIEW: Bettye Lavette Performs at the Sheldon Concert Hall Friday Sept 25
by Chris Gibson - September 27, 2009
If you look up the term 'soul survivor' online, you might just stumble across a biography and picture of Bettye Lavette waiting for you to peruse since her career trajectory could lead to her being aptly labeled as such. Lavette started recording in the early 1960's at age sixteen, but she flew beneath the pop culture radar for a number of years before a revival at the turn of the century sparked a resurgence of interest in her work.
