Director Ellie Schwetye’s production is an emotional look at relationships and the forces that help maintain or derail a couple.

Review: PICKLEBALL Is A Hard Hitter At B St. Theatre
Pickleball is the fastest growing game in the country, and you can experience it now, out of the heat and inside the B St. Theatre, with the aptly titled Pickleball. Jeff Daniels’s play is an amusing farce about the dangers of middle-aged competition and a reminder to not take life too seriously – just pickleball.

Review: AN EVENING OF ONE ACTS at West End Players Guild
All 7 of the plays were tightly directed to create engaging and interesting storytelling using limited set pieces on a nearly empty stage.

You may have heard that back in the 20th century a guy by the name of Edward Murphy famously said, “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” Pessimistic? Maybe. Accurate?
