BWW Review: THE OLDEST PROFESSION at Profile Theatre
Solid performances, sensitive direction, a fabulous new performing arts venue, and what turns out to be an eerily timely play (with music!) combine to make THE OLDEST PROFESSION the strongest show of Profile's season.

BWW Review: ESCAPED ALONE Serves Up Afternoon Tea and Anxiety, at Shaking the Tree
By juxtaposing personal horrors with apocalyptic ones, Caryl Churchill's ESCAPED ALONE captures our current societal unease and also seems to reprimand us for sitting around lamenting our personal problems when much, much larger troubles are threatening.
