If we thought yesterday's post was NaBloPoMo perfunctory, well... I just got home from my cousin's bar mitzvah (to which I wore oxford flats with my dress, which was an amazing decision), and I'm just turning a…

Theater review: 'The Browning Version' at Pacific Resident Theatre by Philip Brandes

In Pacific Resident Theatre's intimate revival, Marilyn Fox's pitch-perfect staging nails the emotional delicacy in the descent and resurrection of Andrew Crocker-Harris (Bruce French).

My Wonderful Day - Reviewed by ERIK HAAGENSEN

Though it's centered on the timeworn cliché of the wise innocent child, Alan Ayckbourn's "My Wonderful Day" is largely entertaining.

GROWING UP FAST by SANDY MACDONALD

What fools these adults be! Ayckbourn's latest offers a child's-eye view of a marital fracas.

My Wonderful Day

My Wonderful Day is a wonderful play about a less than wonderful day for one very unique character and a group of typical Ayckbournians.

Post No Bills - Review by OSCAR E. MOORE

It is like plodding through a muddy gulf of self pity.

Post No Bills - Reviewed by MARK PEIKERT

Mando Alvarado's new play has a sitcom-worthy premise that's hurt more than helped by the plot's sudden dark turn.

Post No Bills
Review By SAM THIELMAN

Alvarado's show eventually drowns in schmaltz, but it fails interestingly enough to make for an encouraging look at his future.

Post No Bills

The title of Mando Alvarado's new play is a location, a performance space, and a way of life - a delicately balanced hub of creativity

Post No Bills
Reviewedby:Andy Propst

Mando Alvarado's new play about an unlikely romance between a subway musician and a young woman is consistently engaging.

Theater review: 'Equivocation' at Geffen Playhouse by Charles McNulty

Cain should be congratulated for the breathtaking boldness of his endeavor here. But rather than equivocate myself, let me say that more playwriting discipline and a stronger directorial hand would have shored …

Equivocation -- Review By Jay Reiner

An original and often witty play that says less than it wants to say in more words than it needs to use.
