Washington, D.C. Review by Susan Berlin

A story of loss is made more personal by Peter Filichia

"Rabbit Hole" is ultimately a small drama that profits from intimacy, so it sits well in Kean University's cozy Zella Frye Theatre in Union. The Premiere Stages production is seen to better advantage here than …

Washington, D.C. Review by Susan Berlin

A Midsummer Night's Dream
Review By FRANK RIZZO

Explorations of gender equality make a fine and valid subtext for the Bard'sfanciful battle of the sexes. But casting and some misguided theatrical flourishes take away much of helmer's thematic punch.

REVIEW: 'Memphis' at La Jolla Playhouse By Daryl H. Miller

With its GPS set on Broadway, a big, new musical in La Jolla gives a 21st century take on the birth of rock amid '50s racism.

Agamemnon
Review By BOB VERINI

The Getty Villa's outdoor presentation of "Agamemnon," part one of the Oresteia trilogy, mightily meets the two main challenges of staging Aeschylus and his Greek brethren for a modern audience.

Resurrection
Review By PAUL HARRIS

Beaty presents another provocative examination of African-American experience, specifically the issues that prevent contemporary black males from achieving greater success.

Resurrection
DC Metro Review by: Michael Toscano

Daniel Beaty's deeply moving play looks at the lives of six African-American men.

Two Spoons - Reviewed by MARK PEIKERT

Playwright Peter Mercurio goes a little overboard with "Poor Richard's Almanac" quotations in his new play.

A Great Place to Be From - Reviewed by PAUL MENARD

Judging from the characters in Norman Lasca's quartet of monologues, extreme heat can certainly bring out the worst in some people.

There Will Come Soft Rains - Reviewed by DAVID SHEWARD

Anyone interested in making high-impact theatre on a shoestring budget should take this show in.

Teenage Runaway's Alternate Universe By WILBORN HAMPTON

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has concocted a diverting and at times intriguing thriller by blending elements of Shakespeare and Stephen King.

King of Shadows - Reviewed by MARK PEIKERT

Rarely does a play's venue add to its potency, but such is the case with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's new play.

Becket or the Honor of God - Reviewed by KARL LEVETT

It's brave of Twenty Feet Productions to attempt such a complex play, and the real star here is Jean Anouilh, whose creative talents, despite reduced circumstances, come shining through.

Johnny on a Spot
Reviewed by: Andy Propst

The Peccadillo's revival of Charles MacArthur's timely political satire is loud and fast instead of funny.

Johnny on a Spot - Reviewed by KARL LEVETT

"The Front Page" this is not. But there still is fun to be savored, painted by playwright Charles MacArthur in broad, cynical strokes.

Perhaps, when the play was first written in 2006, this story might still have had the underexposed immediacy it would need to look and play like something other than last-gasp proselytizing before President Bus…

Woody Allen Sets Puccini Spinning as 'Fly' Fizzles: Alan Rich

L.A. Opera's 'The Fly' is a monster mash By Mark Swed

David Cronenberg and Howard Shore turn their film into a dreary, monotonous creature.

The Song of the Brundlefly By ANTHONY TOMMASINI

Despite the inventive staging and all-out efforts of an admirable cast, the Los Angeles Opera's production of "The Fly," based on the 1986 film, is a ponderous and enervating opera.
