‘“Broken Story” has many interesting aspects and is decently acted aside from a few over the top moments here and there, but it feels, much like the murder at the beginning of the story, unfinished. I hope that this story is explored further and I look forward to seeing it develop even more.”
Read More“Piccione says he wrote this play so that people could have a better understanding of how someone like him might be feeling and provide hope to those that are. I would say that he more than achieves that with “Therapy Session.” ‘
Read More“There are so many things going on in this play that it would be impossible to mention them all. All I will say is “Nothing Human” will keep you thinking long after the curtain closes.”
Read More"“2020” was a show that had a lot of promise and began with many great ideas but failed to go beyond what we see on the news. Clever lines and good ideas were lost amongst the multitude of things it wanted to say. “2020” covered a lot of topics, but again, I ask the question: What about them?”
Read More“Overall, I very much enjoyed “Truth and Reconciliation” and look forward to seeing future iterations.”
Read More‘“The Séance Machine” has a fun and frightening second half with some great questions that it’s asking. Though, one just has to wait through the scientific demonstration to get there.”
Read More“The play gives us multiple perspectives from these women and allows us to work out all of the ideas given to us for ourselves. There is no one answer that we are led to and this results in the audience having to think it out for themselves, and really critically evaluating what they just saw, which is exactly what a play like this wants to do.”
Read More“Art of Warr’s production of this powerful play adapted from a classic was engaging, frightening, and strikingly relevant. A very well done production that I would highly recommend checking out.”

Read MoreOverall, “Recipe For a Witch Hunt” was a very well written and suspenseful piece with great characters and a striking relevancy. I look forward to more from Brannan in the future.
Read More“Do Me, Date Me, Dump Me” was a really fun show, that lets you laugh, not only at the woes of these characters, but at yourself as well. So,if you’re looking for a fun night out with friends, go to the Broadway Comedy Club, check out this show, and have a laugh.

Read MoreIn the newest play by Jake Shore, “The Sun Hangs There Between the Buildings and the Trees” tackles ideas of the morality of murder and when it is acceptable to take matters into your own hands.
Read More“In the Penal Colony” is not a play that you can fully absorb minutes after the curtain closes. This is a play that sinks in to your skin and stays there. A play that you feel before you even know why. Twenty-four hours after seeing the show, there are still things that I am working to uncover.
Read MoreRain could not stop this performance of one of Shakespeare’s most well-known plays. The crowd gathered, umbrellas raised, to see Shakespeare in the Parking Lot’s production of “Romeo and Juliet”. This very enjoyable production took the classic story and gave it an 80s/90s spin, with costumes from those decades bringing the characters even closer to reality and allowing us to relate to them more than we already could.
Read MoreThe Patomac Theater Project embraces their loony side with this production of Doggs Hamlet Cahoot’s Macbeth by Tom Stoppard, bringing life and heart to characters living in a world seemingly far more strange than our own.
Read More“Drinking Bird” is full of very relevant and well thought out ideas but the execution of those ideas never really gets out of lecture territory and I found myself longing for questions but only being given the one answer.
Read MoreWritten by Amina Henry, this new version of “Sleeping Beauty” updates the fairy tale with a fun and silly production that is full of heart and carries an important message.
Read More“Three Musketeers 1941” was an exhilarating theatrical experience that brought classic characters into a more relevant time period without making them feel too modernized. It unflinchingly portrays the World War II era and gives us characters we can no doubt relate to as well as hope for.
Read More“Carcass” is a new play by Eddie Vernovsky that chronicles the story of Eric (Vernovsky), a depressed young man who is struggling to find his purpose in life. This is made all the more difficult by a girlfriend he doesn’t really like and a family that pushes every button and crosses every line. “Carcass” had the potential to be a great family/relationship drama about a broken man searching to be whole, but unfortunately, very few of the characters felt fleshed out enough to where I wanted to know what happened to them, and the spiritual journey of Eric felt very simplified.
