Review: LET THERE BE LOVE at Penguin Rep
What did our critic think of LET THERE BE LOVE at Penguin Rep? Quite often dramas concerning race, immigration, family squabbles (and other issues that we can’t reveal here without spoiling) tend to be in-your-face, preachy and heavy-handed. “Let There Be Love” is a play about all of the former, with none of the latter. It is charming, moving, hilariously funny and full of tremendous heart.

Review: FENCES at Shakespeare & Company
Audience members quickly engage with the characters before them virtually free of any doubt or distraction.
