BWW Review: THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME, Birmingham Hippodrome
It's hard to find something to say about the National's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time that hasn't been repeatedly mentioned already.

It is intelligent, intricate and human, moving the audience both to laughter and to tears.
BWW Review: THE PHILANTHROPIST, Trafalgar Studios

Emmy award-winning Lighting Designer David Grill, a dream team technician for the ballet's Artistic Director Michael Pink, collaborated with three acclaimed choreographers, Garrett Smith, Timothy O'Donnell, and Trey McIntyre, for a triple dose of 'Oh Wow' contemporary dance' performed with love, as the Beatles would say, 'From Me to You,' the ballet to the city's audiences.
BWW Review: DTC and Alley Co-Production ALL THE WAY Stuns in Dallas and Houston
ALL THE WAY opens with blinking blood-red lights, deafening gunshots, vibrant colors in impressionistic soft-focus. Moments later, you can cut the tension with a knife or the crisp, clear black and white projections. From the start, Director Kevin Moriarty establishes that the Dallas Theater Center and Alley Theatre's stunning co-production of Robert Schenkkan's exhilarating political thriller is no documentary or a biopic.
