Review: POTUS Gets My Vote at Big Idea Theatre
by Courtney Symes - Oct 28, 2024
When a show opens with what is widely considered one of the most offensive words in the English language, I’m hooked.

This Tony Award-nominated work is a genius feminist farce brought to life by director Devin Valdez and a fantastic all-female cast. It also may be my favorite Big Idea Theatre production to date.

A larger problem in this four-character world premiere is the casting, which – at least as regards the Blue Cast (the production is double cast) – is lacking.

Review: SUITE SURRENDER at As If Theatre
by Kelly Rogers Flynt - Mar 17, 2023
With a parade of mismanaged guests, lurking press, and plucky staff, SUITE SURRENDER at As If Theatre offers us a classic farce for your enjoyment.
