Review: THE PITCH at Odyssey Theatre
by Amanda Callas - Jul 26, 2024

Based on playwright and lead actor Tom Alper’s real life experiences, this is a boiler room tale of telemarketing and desperation.  For something that is fiercely realistic and edgy, with a New York fighter’s indie heart, The Pitch is also hilarious, life-affirming, and an insanely good time.  It’s a sold-out smash hit at the Odyssey Theatre.

Review: KELLY V. KELLY at Canadian Stage
by Ilana Lucas - Jun 11, 2023

It’s called KELLY V. KELLY, but Britta Johnson and Sara Farb’s surprisingly moving new 90-minute musical could be called CAGE V. CAGE. A mother and daughter, locked in a petty legal battle over the latter’s debauched behaviour in 1915 New York, are both looking for some sort of control over lives that have been designed to be as small as possible.

New Dates Added For BATTLESONG OF BOUDICA at Hollywood Fringe
by Stephi Wild - Jun 11, 2022

For accomplished stage producers Christopher Johnson and Jen Albert, the decision to bring the legendary story of Iceni Warrior Queen Boudica to Hollywood Fringe came down to a few things: a lack of stories about her in the modern era, an opportunity to explore some current issues and a chance for their company The School of Night to do what they do best…large-scale stage fight spectacles.
