BWW Review: RHINOCEROS at American Conservatory Theatre
by Tim Sullivan - Jun 12, 2019
Eugène Ionesco's Rhinoceros is brought boisterously into the Trump era in this hilarious production directed by Frank Galati at A.C.T.'s Geary Theatre. Existentialist themes are explored through absurdity and a great deal of wit—if you've avoided avant-garde theatre in the past, Galati's version is strong enough to make you rethink the genre.

Craig Jessup is TAKING CHANCE ON LOVE This Fall
by A.A. Cristi - Oct 4, 2016

BWW Review: LAST FIVE YEARS at ACT
by Harmony Wheeler - May 20, 2016
Relationships are complicated because people are complicated. Take Jason Robert Brown's 'Last Five Years,' which opened Wednesday evening at American Conservatory Theater. The 85-minute, two-person musical is simple. A couple recounts the rise and fall of their love. But just when you think you know to whom fault really belongs, Brown gives his audience another heart wrenching song to balance the scales. That Cathy and Jamie play out their stories with close to no interaction at all, and in opposite chronological order, only makes it all the more curious. And then there's the fact that the show is somewhat autobiographical and you have to wonder if Brown is living proof that we are our own worst critics. Simple, but complicated.
