Review: THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA MCBRIDE at Berkshire Theatre Group
by Marc Savitt - Aug 5, 2026

Review: ENGLISH at Denver Center For The Performing Arts
by Tessa Nelson - Apr 29, 2026
Elham, playwright Sanaz Toossi’s brilliant character played by an equally brilliant Vanah Assadourian, frustratedly exclaims in a tongue unfamiliar to her mouth, “I want everyone to know I am not an idiot and also I am nice.” English, produced by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, captures the day-to-day drama of living your identity in an unfamiliar language.

Review: ALICIA KEYS' HELL'S KITCHEN at Denver Center For The Performing Arts
by Tessa Nelson - Apr 21, 2026
Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts tells a perfectly coherent story—it’s just not a very interesting one. An overprotective mother badgers her daughter to stay safely in her apartment and away from the glitz, glamour, and danger of those pernicious New York City Streets; a father forges an emotional and artistic connection with his daughter, but is only there for her inconsistently; a young, naïve girl is looking for love in all the wrong places.

Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at The DCPA Theatre Company
by Tessa Nelson - Apr 15, 2026
Brilliant musicianship, soulful performances, and expert craft make Next to Normal at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts deeply identifiable. Unfortunately, the pathos it creates through these immense talents may cast more doubt on mental health care than broker clarity surrounding mental illness.
