REVIEW: The Ferryman, and Contemporary Theater’s Endangered Pleasures

Bryan Cranston’s brilliant performance aside, this adaptation proves even more problematic than the original film.

A pair of current productions of A Doll’s House, Part 2 find very different qualities in Lucas Hnath’s cheeky sequel.

Take my yeast—please!

The 1812 Productions’ team on how and why they make funny in the Age of Trump.

Philly’s love affair with this superb actor has never been more heartfelt.

This frantic, antic production doesn’t illuminate Anne Washburn’s poignant satire.
