Broadway Review: “The Great Society”
“Too much information is packed into the nearly three-hour verbal onslaught and none of it is new or delivered in a fresh manner that results in entertainment.”
Off-Broadway Review: “Soft Power” at The Public’s Newman Theater
“Under Leigh Silverman’s impeccable and focused direction, the ensemble cast creates a palette of strong emotions and enduring questions about the future of humankind.”
L.A. Review: Laughing throughout MIKE BIRBIGLIA’S The NEW ONE
“Birbiglia is smart, likable and witty in his performance, as he opens up to the audience about his anxiety, growth, and acceptance of his new roles and relationships as a husband and father.”
Toronto Review: "The Mush Hole" at Young People's Theatre
“‘The Mush Hole’ is heartbreaking, astonishing and beautiful. Much like we know and remember about the Holocaust and what happened during World War 2, I was brutally reminded of seeing this production that we here in Canada had our own Holocaust. “
Review: “A Therapy Session with Myself” at the Kraine Theater
“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.” ‘
Montreal Review: "Alice and the World We Live In" at the Centaur Theatre
“Montrealer Alexandria Haber has written an extremely complex two-hander play about the process of grief and death, and how we are able to move forward.”
New York Review: “Nothing Human” at the Chain Theater
“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.”
Toronto Review: "Trout Stanley" at the Factory Theatre
“‘Trout Stanley’ is worth a look especially to see wonderfully solid performances from the three characters.”
Off-Broadway Review: “Heroes of the Fourth Turning” at Playwrights Horizons
“Under Danya Taymor’s intuitive and exacting direction, the accomplished cast delivers believable and authentic performances and embodies the characteristics of Yeats’ rough beast with cathartic effect.”
Off-Broadway Review: “Scotland, PA” at Roundabout Theatre Company
“The competent cast does what it can but cannot transcend the inferior material they have to work with or the haphazard direction by Lonnie Price who usually delivers an exceptional product.”
LA Review: "A Kid Like Jake" by IAMA Theatre Company
“Parenting is not easy for Alex (Sarah Utterback) and Greg (Tim Peper) with their precocious son Jake in the West Coast Premiere “A Kid Like Jake” by Daniel Pearle and presented by IAMA Theatre Company. Marriage isn’t a piece of cake either, as we see in this explosive drama about a couple whose son prefers to dress up as Cinderella, instead of playing with trucks or G.I. Joe figures”
Broadway Review: “Linda Vista”
“Although Mr. Letts provides yet another example of his prolific writing in “Linda Vista,” it is also filled with long, incendiary sex scenes that do nothing to move the plot forward and almost seem gratuitous.”
NY Review: "A Doll’s House, Part 2" at Hudson Stage Company
“Under the proficient eye, of Director, Margarett Perry, the interactions and relationships are powerfully, thoughtfully, and subtly acted by this terrific cast of four. The play is beautifully staged and with spot-on timing.”
NYC Review: “2020: A Fantasy” at Shetler Studios
"“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?”
Off-Broadway Review: “Little Shop of Horrors”
“The stellar cast is more than competent but seems to have succumbed to the heavy-handed, muddled and indistinct direction of Michael Mayer.”
Toronto Review: "The Jungle" at Tarragon Theatre
“The conflicts in the play overlap commentary on economics with the complexities of generational gaps and racial overtones. This may sound overly ambitious and, at times, it was.”
Toronto Review: "A Streetcar Named Desire" at Soulpepper Theatre
“Soulpepper’s rendition is a careening tsunami. It begins with a joyous peach sun hat and drifts unyielding into madness.”
NYC Review: “Truth and Reconciliation: Womyn Working it Out!” at The Tank
“Overall, I very much enjoyed “Truth and Reconciliation” and look forward to seeing future iterations.”
NYC Review: “Miss Julie” presented by Antigravity Performance Project at Chain Theatre
"In Moore’s masterful hands, Miss Julie is a stirring invitation to wake up, an invigorating exploration of choice and consequence, gender and class, freewill and authority that you will want to lean forward in your chair to not miss a beat."
NYC Review: “The Séance Machine” at The Tank
‘“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.”
