Dinner with Friends

All this is so gorgeously performed by these four fantastic actors that at times I wanted to get up and hug them. Funny, vulnerable, real, heartbroken, angry, confused…they run the gamut of emotions and take us with them. If you are able to see this group of remarkable actors and this Pulitzer Prize-winning play directed by the fabulous Peter Allas then I promise you will not be disappointed. Review>>

Shakespeare in Love

Young Will Shakespeare has writer’s block. That is, until he finds his muse – Viola. Based on the Academy Award-winning film, this critically-acclaimed stage version is set against a bustling backdrop of mistaken identity, ruthless scheming and backstage bickering that serve to remind us that all the world’s a stage and love is unrehearsed.

Can't Live Without 'Em

It's an absolutely hilarious comedy about a man in a coma, his wife, his ex-wife and his pregnant lover. His mind, however, is very lucid and takes on physical form for our amusement. Thomas is played to perfection by the sublimely talented and sweetly charismatic Bert Emmett, interloping as the spirit of Thomas, bound to the room in which his almost lifeless carcass lies. Review>>

The Witness Room

En Mi Jardín (In My Garden) 

"But En Mi Jardin’s 13 plays have all of that and much more. They are heartfelt and compassionate, energized and vivid, melancholy and hopeful. They tell stories that make deep contact with our hearts and our memories and our purpose. From childhood to old age and love to anger. They are the mirror of the human condition.

At other times, a slight pause as for the audience to take a breath. As fine as the performances were, I must credit the poet, Bob Gossom whose poetry was the fuel from which the actors brought gave the words life. I haven’t seen a show like this since my days in New York. Review>>

Ophelia

Ophelia is a truly exceptional play. Full of mystical magical meaning and dark heartache but also imbued with an intense hopefulness and light. I absolutely loved it and cannot recommend this gorgeous play enough and I hope you find the time to see it. I’m sure it will be nominated for absolutely everything…it deserves it. Loved it!

King Hedley II

Perfectly cast, they take up every inch of space, reflecting off each other believing each other and so we cannot help but believe them. So utterly in the moment that we are transported with them to this place. It’s magical and I can only imagine how incredible the preparation for this play was with their fine director Gregg T. Daniel at the helm.
