A musical revue, the show weaves together over 50 iconic songs from artists like The Bee Gees, KC and The Sunshine Band, and The Village People.

Lauren Yee's SAMSARA will make you laugh, cringe, and think about its implications long after you leave the theatre. If you like challenging, conversation-starting theatre, this show is absolutely not to be missed.

What did our critic think of FLY BY NIGHT at Tapestry Theater Collective?

MRS. HARRISON is one of those rare productions that succeeds in entertaining while also forcing us to examine our assumptions, in this case about the stories we claim as our own.

Williams' meditation on truth, desire, and survival still resonates, and his masterful writing ensures that even after three hours, the final moments of STREETCAR remain as powerful as ever.

This quirky gem of a musical, which won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, is the kind of show that makes you laugh, cry, and fundamentally reassess your perspective on life.

KRAPP’S LAST TAPE, Samuel Beckett's meditation on time, memory, and regret, now running at 21ten Theatre starring Bruce Burkhartsmeier, is a masterful production that cuts straight to the bone.

FIVE GOLDEN RINGS, now playing at Broadway Rose, is the perfect way to get you in the holiday spirit. This delightful musical, with a book by Stephen Garvey and music and lyrics by David Abbinanti, is a loving sendup of those cozy Christmas movies shown on a certain greeting card channel that many people secretly (or not-so-secretly) adore.

The evening is truly a celebration, wrapped in shiny costumes, dazzling performances, and a sense of togetherness that’s just what the season calls for.

WICKED is always worth watching. If you haven’t seen it yet, or even if you have, don't miss this fantastic production.

Portland Center Stage’s SWEENEY TODD is perfectly suited to those looking for some spine-tingling entertainment this Halloween season. Whether you're a Sondheim fanatic who knows every word or brand new to this masterpiece of musical theatre, I think you’ll be happy.

This week, Gillette’s new play NO MORE CANDY will premiere at Salt and Sage, directed by her frequent collaborator, Asae Dean.

Like a good grunge rock show, LIZZIE is not meant to be a big overproduced spectacle. All it needs is a tight band and four kickass women who can channel their inner rock goddesses. As a long-time fan of this show, I can confidently say this production nails it.

Fuse's take on this musical about art, creativity, and renewal has a ton of heart.
