by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - Oct 14, 2024
Lewiston’s Public Theatre opens its 34th season to a full house, convulsed in laughter at the Victorian spoof, DRACULA: A COMEDY OF TERRORS. The 2023 Off- Broadway comedy by Steve Rosen and Gordon Greenberg is a sendup of Bram Stoker’s Gothic novel Dracula, but in this delightful comic concoction, horror is replaced with frothy fun and sheer silliness.

BWW Review: A PEREGRINE FALLS at The Wild Project
by Derek McCracken - Feb 9, 2020
A Peregrine Falls at The Wild Project doesn't need to travel at breakneck speed to make an impact. Clocking in at two hours/two acts/four scenes, it moseys between three locales over three years: a Texas hospital, a hospital court, and a car dealership. Along the way, it makes an unexpected avian/automotive connection, all while hatching the story of how abuse stuns and wounds a family, collectively and individually. These birds of a feather may flock together, but their suffering is subjective.
