Review: THE URMETAZOAN at Barrington Stage Company
by Marc Savitt - Oct 7, 2026

The play provides a lot of food for thought. What seems to come through most strongly in the final analysis seems to be an inability for the two sisters to connect meaningfully and their portrayal of the tragedy of not knowing someone anymore.

Review: DEAD GIRL’S QUINCEAÑERA at Barrington Stage Company

Review: ESTATE SALE at Barrington Stage Company
by Marc Savitt - Jul 7, 2026

I often look or ask for the take away message in a performance.  I feel this is not that kind of a play. ESTATE SALE is an unusual, interesting presentation that makes the viewer think - which (IMHO) is typically, the best kind of theatrical experience.  Playwright Keelay Gipson says 'grief may feel like a blessing and a curse, it alternates between joy and pain.  Those two poles of experience remind me that life is a collection of contradictions.  Grief can both the devastation of loss and the celebration of life.'

Review: DRIVING MISS DAISY at Barrington Stage Company
by Marc Savitt - Jun 7, 2026

Cast and Crew deliver a high-quality production that is both simple and sublime; historically accurate, topically relevant; and well worth seeing. BSC Artistic Director, Alan Paul said: 'It's fair to say that Daisy has become an American classic, and when you watch the show, you will see how contemporary and relevant its themes still are.  This play endures because it speaks to the best of who we can be.  Alfred Uhry's beautifully observed characters remind us that empathy, respect, and friendship can emerge in the most unexpected places.
