Theater Review: ‘Sense & Sensibility’ at The Gym at Judson (NYC)
In the Bedlam production of Sense & Sensibility, Top 40 pop music is played prior to curtain (which in this case is just a figure to speech – there is no curtain), and the actors begin the performance dressed in lazywear of hoodies and sweatpants. This gives the initial impression

Theater Review: ‘Gidion’s Knot’ at the Clarion Theater (NYC)
Perhaps the goal of Gidion’s Knott can be summed up, as Corryn says during the play, “to search for something authentic in a field of bullshit.”
SDMT brings a “White Christmas” to San Diego
As Bob, Engel has a great voice and is a true song and dance man himself as he sings and dances his way through this show.
Review: New Set Brings New Life to ‘The Phantom of the Opera’
Judging by the long and winding line in front of the merchandise booth, The Phantom of The Opera will have no trouble selling tickets for its run at the San Diego Civic Theatre.

The cast, led by both Hendersen and Jones, is outstanding. Hendersen, who never leaves the stage during the show, commands attention.

Othello remains one of Shakespeare’s most relevant and popular plays.
Review: MOXIE Theatre’s ‘Trouble in Mind’
One common thread that has run through every show I’ve seen at Moxie Theatre is their excellent casting. With their latest play, Alice Childress’ Trouble in Mind, that through line continues with a pair of powerhouse performances by Monique Gaffney and Ruff Yeager.
Broadway Review: MTC’s ‘Constellations’ Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Wilson
The play comes in at a brisk 70-minutes (no intermission) but honestly it only feels about thirty. It’s so fast yet so moving and funny that you’ll be walking away wishing you could see it again.
Theater Review: ‘Enron’ at Moxie Theatre in San Diego
Lucy Prebble’s Enron, a satiric dramatization of the rise and fall of the now infamous Texas-based energy company, closed way too early when it ran on Broadway. I can see why. I’d think most people in the city for a night out want to escape reality and not want to
