Preeminence 2.0 — Theatre @ Boston Court's 'R II'

Now THIS is an #adaptation 2 #remember!

Brilliantly envisioned and executed by director Jessica Kubzansky, RII [The Life and Death of King Richard the Second] at @BostonCourt is a powerfully innovative, undeniably successful renovation of Shakespeare's classic text.

Mindbending Hilariousness — Imprō Theatre's 'Twilight Zone UnScripted'

Often the most exciting part of live theater is that moment when the house lights fade. During those few seconds in the dark, anything is possible. Will the show be good? even great? will I feign the sudden onset of a terminal disease and scramble for the door? This wonderful anxiety is compounded exponentially at an Impō Theatre production; for not even the players onstage, nor the crew in the booth, know what is going to unfold. Why? There is no script to follow. No characters assigned until each player steps on stage and is introduced by a cast mate. "Dad, what are you doing here! I thought you were dead." And... go!

Charming Morsel — Rialto Community Players' 'Aria's'

Rare indeed are productions of world-premiere, original plays in the Inland Empire. Most of the dozens of under-99 theaters 'round about those parts are content with the mounting the usual, played out commercial fluffiness year after year, with the dim hope of snagging some of the ever-dwindling playgoer demographic. (Not many culture lovin' hippies in them there hills.) 

Gripping Dream — South Coast Rep's 'Death of a Salesman'

Pulitzer-Prize, Tony Award winning South Coast Repertory Theater, OC's shining jewel, one of the nation's top five regional theaters, begins its 50th anniversary season strong, with a gorgeously designed take on Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Ably directed by SCR Artistic Director Marc Masterson, Salesman is a rabbit punch of a drama exploring the soul-wrenching self-destruction of Willy Loman, who (seemingly) failed in his attempt to achieve the "American dream."
