Review: Essential Theatre's DISSONANCE An Essential Conversation About What Divides Us
by Andrew White - June 02, 2023
The genius of “Dissonances” is the way that it reveals, and then gently dismantles, those walls we erect around ourselves, those unconscious fears that prevent us from really communicating and empathizing with people different from ourselves. Both Duncan and Sandel create human beings we recognize instantly—their virtues intact, their flaws visible but never damning.

Review: THE CRUCIBLE at Eisenhower Theater
by Mary Lincer - May 25, 2023
What did our critic think of THE CRUCIBLE at Eisenhower Theater? Choreographer Helen Pickett does in her ballet The Crucible just exactly what Arthur Miller attempted in his 1953 play, her source.

Review: HURRICANE DIANE at Avant Bard Theatre
by Rachael F. Goldberg - May 24, 2023
'Hurricane Diane' is a fun and thought-provoking production, though you’ll certainly have more fun if you don’t think too hard about the technicalities of the show itself. There’s a lot to enjoy, and a good takeaway message, and, sometimes, that’s enough for an enjoyable theatrical experience.
