Central Square Theater

Theater Review: “The Half-Life of Marie Curie” — The Science of Friendship

A valentine card is touching because it is short and sweet. A valentine play — even at 90 minutes with no intermission — wears out its affectionate welcome.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Bill-Marx, Bryn Boice, Central Square Theater, Lauren Gunderson, The Half Life of Marie Curie, The-Nora-Theatre-Company

Theater Review: “Vanity Fair: An (Im-)morality Play” — Amoral Fun Galore!

Underground Railway Theater has a runaway hit. You’ll never see a show quite like it. It’s bold, ridiculous, and very risky.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Central Square Theater, David Greenham, David R. Gammons, Underground Railway Theater, Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray

Theater Review: Bedlam’s “Crucible” — Burn, Baby, Burn

Bedlam’s provocative production of The Crucible has a purpose — to urge us all to stand up and shout down the devils in our midst.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater, Uncategorized Tagged: Arthur Miller, Bedlam, Bedlam Theater Company, Central Square Theater, The Crucible

Theater Review: “The Women Who Mapped the Stars” — Heroines of the Creative Mind

At the heart of The Women Who Mapped The Stars is a drama about the desire of significant female astronomers to be heard and respected.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Central Square Theater, David Greenham, Joyce Van Dyke, Nora Theatre Company, The Woman Who Mapped the Stars

Theater Review: “Proof” — Missed Moments of Power

This Proof’s weakness comes from the thinness of its lead performances.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Central Square Theater, David Auburn, Kamela Dolinova, Lee Mikeska Gardner, Michelle Aguillon, Nora Theatre Company, Proof

Theater Review: “The Revolutionists” — Comedy During the Reign of Terror

Director Courtney O’Connor, the Nora Theatre, and its skilled cast do right by this hilarious historical comedy.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Central Square Theater, Lauren Gunderson, Nora Theatre Company, The Revolutionists

Theater Review: “Paradise” — A Fascinating Culture Clash

Paradise‘s central conflict and the performances in the Underground Railway Theater production are damn good.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Catalyst Collaborative@MIT, Central Square Theater, David Greenham, Laura Maria Censabella, Paradise, Underground Railway Theater

Theater Review” “Intimate Exchanges” — Semi-furious Comic Froth

It’s good fun and, for a while at least, it’s interesting to watch the actors fulfill the play’s impish demands.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Alan Ayckbourn, Central Square Theater, David Greenham, Intimate Exchanges, Nora Theatre Company, Olivia D'Ambrosio

Theater Review: Nora Theatre Company’s “Marjorie Prime” — A Futuristic Misfire

Marjorie Prime explores the complex connections generated among four family members as they attempt to make sense of grief.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Central Square Theater, Justin Sacramone, Lee Mikeska Gardner, Marjorie Prime, Nora Theatre Company, Sarah deLima

Theater Review: Bedlam’s Transfixing, Twinned Twelfth Nights

There is nothing quite so exhilarating as watching Shakespeare done right – except, perhaps, watching one of his plays done right, twice.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Bedlam, Central Square Theater, Eric Tucker, Kamela Dolinova, Nora Theatre Company, Twelfth Night: Twelfth Night (or What You Will), What You Will (or Twelfth Night)
