  • Review: Urine Good Company with URINETOWN at Brookfield Theater For The Arts - "Urinetown" is such a clever play with such an off-putting premise. Nearly everyone that I talked to who have seen the show had the same reaction: They didn't want to see it at first because they figured it would just be urine jokes for the whole night- which it is- but once they leave, they beam about how amazing the music was, how clever the writing, and how intricate the themes.
  • Review: MR. BURNS: A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY shines a light at Brookfield Theater Of The Arts - "Mr. Burns" is such a difficult play to read. Nothing makes sense and you don't know where these characters came from or why they're now singing, but once you sit down with a cast and flesh out the post-apocalyptic world that this play inherits, the right cast and crew can make this show click into everybody's hearts as if they understood it all along.
  • Review: Bouncing Fun with FUN HOME at Brookfield Theater For The Arts - What isn't to love about "Fun Home"? From the music, to the writing, to the graphic novel that it's adapted from, this musical encapsulates growing up queer and the complicated emotions and behaviors that can have two people experiencing the same obstacles but have two completely different endings. All while singing and dancing and falling in love with the characters.
  • BWW Review: IN THE HEIGHTS soars high at Landmark Community Theatre - Heart and soul and rhythm are at the core of "In The Heights." These are stories that need to be told and told by the right people. Through the music, the language, and the characters, "In The Heights" surrounds you with culture, love, and community in ways that will blow you away.
  • BWW Review: HEATHERS rocks at TRINITY-ON-MAIN - Sure, it's a dark and twisted story that borders on absurd, but "Heathers" really nails the melodrama and intensity that high school feels like when you're growing up. It's a time where everything feels like life and death, even if your problems are trivial in the grand scheme of things.

There is so much more to Theatre than just musicals and full-length plays. For a single actor in a solo show to stand on that stage and create a work of art by themselves is bold and can be just as thrilling as a 30-person dance ensemble. 'Tru' set the bar high for the rest of the Festival.

On the set of a politics talk show, “Issues in Focus,” Dick Hedgerow brings on a guest, Norman Krieger, to discuss his upcoming book on battling extremism in the world. What was set up to be a dry, lengthy discussion turned into a frantic introspection of who the extremists really are.

Love knows no bounds; not distance, nor hardship, nor time. In a story where time is not linear and each scene is a different timeline of the same events it can be hard to follow, but when you trust the script to tell the story and trust your audience to pick up on these concepts, you can focus on making each scene feel real and organic.

BWW Review: ONE HIT WONDER at Landmark Community Theatre
February 10, 2020

With a title like a?oeOne Hit Wonder,a?? you might think you know what to expect: a series of well-known one hit wonders strung together with a loose story that feels more like a musical revue than a musical, but my experience seeing Landmark Community Theatre's production of One Hit Wonder flipped those expectations on their head and left this reviewer bopping in his seat to songs he hasn't heard since he was a child.

January 20, 2020

While you may not need a proscenium stage, proper stage rigging, and high end equipment, performing in a space not intended for theater certainly introduces some challenges. Director Michael Ricciardone gathered a team of designers to overcome the limitations of a non-traditional venue. When a talented cast meets a dedicated crew, it doesn't matter what kind of building you perform in, as long as everyone puts in their heart and soul; and you could feel that passion in Getup Stage Company's production of Heathers at Trinity-On-Main.

December 14, 2019

There's arguably no better classic Christmas tale than that of A Christmas Story. Adapted from the movie of the same name, A Christmas Story, the play, is among the plays that have a unique challenge in which their source material is so well known that any given production has to balance making the story their own, but also paying homage to the movie that everyone already knows so well. The way that Landmark Community Theatre decided to walk that line made this Christmas story feel truly nostalgic.
