There's a Pinter lovefest going on over at the Irish Rep, with British actor Julian Sands of A Room With a View fame performing Pinter's poetry and prose--interspersed with reminiscences fro…
Never one of Ibsen's more revered works, An Enemy of the People won't win any converts with Manhattan Theatre Club's shrill, hopped-up revival.
Having appreciated the stage work of Carolyn McCormick and Byron Jennings, who are married in real life, for many years (not to mention the former's appearances on Law & Order, I was pleased…

Very pleased to have had the chance to review a couple of worthwhile shows at this year's New York International Fringe Festival, especially ones in which women play such prominent roles ons…
The creators of Bring It On: The Musical have invented a completely new story and characters. Making the show their own, however, doesn't mean that they've brought great depth or intricacy t…
Caught the terrific BBC Proms My Fair Lady concert on Saturday, thanks to the wonders of Internet radio and the BBC. I planned to listen just for a bit at the beginning, but three and a half…
That six-foot-three-and-a-half-inch white rabbit from the 1944 comedy Harvey still has a lot to say some 70 years later. Not literally, because of course we never see or hear from the title …
I can't wait to see where Lily Rabe's career takes her, but I hope it won't be too far away from the New York and the theater world she's become so much a part of. Her Portia in the Shakespe…
You never know who you'll run into at the Signature Center. Tuesday night John Guare was there, to see either Title and Deed or Medieval Play, I imagine. He wasn't in the audience of My Chil…
Lions aren't known for eating their young, but try telling that to the mama Lyons at the center of Nicky Silver's dark new comedy.

Anyone else notice that the New Group had a solid sleeper season in 2011-12? Maybe I'm the only one who thought so. Neither Thomas Bradshaw's Burning, Erika Sheffer's Russian Transport nor D…

I was a college student when Lost in Yonkers was on Broadway and remember well the outcry when it beat Six Degrees of Separation for the Tony and Pulitzer. The current Actors Company Theatre…
