2022 Year in Review: Cindy Marcolina's Best of 2022
by Cindy Marcolina - December 21, 2022
After two years of absolute doom and uncertainty, 2022 began with a sprinkle of glimmer on the horizon. Masked up and cautious, we came back to theatres properly.

I still loved a good number of productions, but it’s a far cry from struggling to whittle it down to a Top 10. Nonetheless, it was an exciting year.

Review: ONE WOMAN SHOW, Ambassadors Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - December 21, 2022
From the London commute and edgy social media spoken word to dramatic orange-lit flashbacks, Kingsman presents us with a fully-formed show-within-a-show that’s a parody of itself. She squeezes every last drop of funny from every single line of her script. It's a fast-paced takedown of the chaotic white woman in her twenties working in the arts that we all know so well.
