The run sold out almost instantly, but 'The Rocky Horror Show' at Richmond Triangle Players is too fun to not review. The 1973 musical by Richard O'Brien was a hit in London but not in New York, and of course it was later made into the spectacularly successful late-night movie favorite. It's wildly uneven and doesn't make a lot of sense, but there's no denying how much enjoyment it provides.

5th Wall Theatre's season opener has the feel of a typical book-club book: interesting, bringing light to a lesser-known historical moment, good for you but not actually good.

'Art of Murder' is an overwrought, undercooked kind of mystery with surprises that fail to shock.

The cast and director of 'Holmes and Watson' work valiantly to lift Jeffrey Hatcher's leaden script, but the surprises come too late.

Ashland's all-volunteer children's theater company, led by Louise Keeton, performs Keeton's original takes on classic fairy tales, sharing a message of empowerment with the next generation.

Thorny issues of white privilege, white guilt and white fragility ignite a pointed comedy centering on a New England prep school.

A rocking, lively, faithful rendition of 'Passing Strange,' the unique musical by Stew and Heide Rodewald, created in collaboration with Annie Dorsen, features a flawless ensemble of performers in Firehouse's production, directed by Tawnya Pettiford-Wates.

Triangle Players triumphs with a wonderful cast that is more than equal to this heartbreakingly funny musical.

This world premiere by Dante Piro is a humorous dive into a vintage video game. Characters confront questions of free will and fear in the sweet-natured comedy.
