Conor McPherson’s adaptation of The Birds is more psychological than graphic. It pits desperate people against one another in a desperate time. Director Robert Ashton, Production Designer Rob Lippert, and the entire team are telling an eerie, disquieting, and foreboding tale. It is a slow-burning …
Arpeggios and angst make The Rep’s 2 Pianos 4 Hands a wonderfully funny comedic play. Told with music and pianos, this excellent production emphasizes how making music can change lives, elicit emotion, and serve as the composition for happiness.…
Glut is a parable that doubles as a societal microcosm. e.k. doolin’s satirical social commentary denounces all forms of bigotry with her small story about large people.…
There is nothing subtle about Eleanor Burgess’ ruthlessly candid script. The Niceties seethes with bitter, cutting dialogue. It is an all-out verbal clash that makes an unflinching critique on racial injustice. Director Cameron Jamarr, and actors Raevyn Ferguson and Jodi Stockton lean into the ten…
Arriving in time for the spooky season, Lizzie is a mash-up of gothic horror, rock concert theatrics (complete with moving microphones, banging percussion, and searing guitars), grizzly murders, and feminist liberation.…
Alex Edelman’s one-man showcleverly places the audience in his own shoes. He disarms with humor then sensitively discusses antisemitism, Judaism, assimilation, and hatred. Jacob Flekier, starring as Alex Edelman, is likable. His entrance felt a bit awkward, telling what Edelman calls “dumb jokes…

Presented without intermission, it boasts a superb cast and loads of humor. The result is a fast-paced …
Come From Away is bursting with compelling stories of post-9/11 experiences. Each story told by this gifted ensemble layers on powerful, emotionally resonant accounts of that week in Gander. But at its core, Come From Away is a love letter to the lovely and generous residents of Gander who put their…
Lauren Yee’s Hookman has a lot it wants to say about perpetrator induced-traumatic stress, but the message of accountability is lost in a painfully banal and utterly vacuous script.…
The Last Show on Earth is an off-kilter comedy that is as quirky as it is entertaining. Joe Taylor has penned and scored an inventive original play that he confidently placed in the innovative hands of Lucy Cashion and her boundary pushing creative teams at ERA.
