Review: DANCING AT LUGHNASA at SecondStory Repertory
DANCING AT LUGHNASA at SecondStory Repertory is a glimpse into the past and a way of life that has disappeared. It is not an idyllic revelry but rather an examination of a time when people who were caught between two wars struggled to find balance amidst many opposing forces. It is a show where the unspoken is often the loudest character. With heart and grace and a touch of resignation, the Mundy sisters invite you to walk along with them for just a while.

Review: I HATE HAMLET at Phoenix Theatre
I HATE HAMLET is a delightful romp for Shakespeare aficionados and newbies alike. The witty repartee just keeps coming as playwright Paul Rudnick dishes out great dialogue and some killer one liners. Nothing is funnier than actors making fun of actors, and I HATE HAMLET does it well. Despite its focus on one of the greatest dramas ever written, the show puts comedy front and center.
