American Repertory Theater

Theater Review: “This Is Who I Am” — Virtual Intimacy

Amir Nizar Zuabi’s engaging drama is a hopeful testament to communication and forgiveness.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Amir Nizar Zuabi, David Greenham, Evren Odcikin, This Is Who I Am

Theater Commentary: Where Is Our Rage?

Why are Boston stages reacting so serenely to our current miasmas — pandemical, political, economic, and spiritual.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Commentary, Featured, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, ArtsEmerson, Huntington-Theatre-Company, Natasha Tripney, The Stage

Theater Review – “Gloria” Squanders an Iconic Life

The main problem with Gloria is its expository storytelling. Events are mostly announced and described rather than recreated.

By: Christopher Caggiano Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Christopher Caggiano, Diane Paulus, Gloria: A Life

Theater Review: A Musical “Moby-Dick” Lumbers from its Seabed at the A.R.T.

Dave Malloy’s musical version of Moby-Dick shows promise, but he needs to trim plenty of blubber.

By: Christopher Caggiano Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Christopher Caggiano, Dave Malloy, Moby Dick: A Musical Reckoning

Theater Review: Company One’s ‘Greater Good’ Takes Us on a Tour of Privilege. Literally.

Greater Good is a fiercely compelling piece, confronting its audience with a complex exploration of some of the most pressing issues of our day.

By: Christopher Caggiano Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Company One Theatre, Greater Good, Kirsten Greenidge, Steven Bogart

Theater Review: The Sense of an “Endlings”

The playwright supplies a memorable encounter between young and old in the play’s final scene, but it is too late to compensate for the superficiality of the Pirandello-lite antics that have come before.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Celine Song, Diane Paulus, Endlings

Theater Review: “Othello” at the American Repertory Theater — Un-moored

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival production of Othello lacks a tragic dimension not because it highlights Othello’s “Otherness,” but because it eschews any vestige of grandeur or nobility.

By: Laurence Senelick Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Bill Rauch, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Othello

Theater Review: “Miss You Like Hell” — A Lukewarm Road Trip

This is yet another sentimental exercise in the mechanics of mother/daughter rapprochement

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Erin McKeown, Miss You Like Hell, Oberon, Quiara Alegría Hudes

Stage Remembrance: Words on the Death of Alvin Epstein — “Nothing is Left to Tell”

I speak for the legions who benefitted from your friendship and your great energy and talent.

By: Bob Scanlan Filed Under: Featured, Fuse News, Theater Tagged: Alvin Epstein, American Repertory Theater

Theater Review: Not So “ExtraOrdinary”

This musical hodgepodge at the American Repertory Theater could be called ‘Let’s Sing About Me (and Me, and Then More About Me).’

By: Robert Israel Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Diane Paulus, ExtraOrdinary, musical
