The “semi-staging” seen here delivers less theater than no staging at all.

This brilliantly acerbic, absurdist comedy gleefully thumbs its nose at trigger warnings.

Is this once-iconic satire still viable, or a historical curiosity? That is the question.

The provocative show that director Emma Griffin offers here goes beyond a reimagined staging.

What’s most unsettling here happens quietly in the shadows.

Michael Hollinger’s funny and clever play could use more gravity.

How do you like your Carmen? The role – and Bizet’s opera – contain multitudes.

In Michael Hollinger’s perplexing but enchanting play, getting there is the best part.

The vocal standards are high, and the pleasure of discovering new talent always exhilarating.

John Guare’s monumental Lydie Breeze trilogy ends movingly, if not entirely clearly.
