Queenie and Burrs are the story of a once steamy love gone stale.

BWW Review: National Theatre of Ghana's 10 BLOCKS ON THE CAMINO REAL a Fitting, Earthy Tribute to Tennessee Williams
In keeping with their love of open-air, marketplace theatre the company embraced a variety of outdoor spaces (I saw them on the west lawn at the National Building Museum), creating a vibrant atmosphere well before the first actor took the stage.

BWW Review: Next Stop's DISGRACED a Stunning, Necessary Examination of All-American Prejudice
Stop for a moment to think how things have changed; how the election of Donald Trump and the imposition of a travel ban on Muslims and openly anti-immigrant, pro-white nationalist sentiment have torn away at the nation.
BWW Review: THE ARSONISTS is Incendiary at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company

BWW Review: Studio Theatre's Diluted SKELETON CREW
Skeleton Crew has all the makings of a great drama: vibrant characters, crackling dialogue, and an engaging and identifiable story, which is why it is such a shame that the play fails to achieve the heart wrenching effect of Lynn Nottage's Sweat or Arthur Miller's Death of Salesman.

Back by popular demand (and just in time) WORD BECOMES FLESH is theatre worth doing more than thinking about.
