New Repertory Theatre
Theater Review: “Cardboard Piano” — Pay Witness
“ignorance about those who have disappeared/ undermines the reality of the world.” — Zbigniew Herbert
Theater Review: “Heartland” — Pointing the Finger at Us
Heartland proffers a rare combination — it is a prescient history lesson that also works dramatically.
Theater Review: “1776” — Retrograde History Lesson
While the push for diversity in casting is admirable, it’s not enough to resuscitate a script that feels dated, even regressive in its approach to historical storytelling.
Theater Review: “We Will Not Be Silent” — A Vital Cautionary Tale
New Rep’s production of We Will Not Be Silent is an intelligent and profoundly moving work of theater.
Theater Review: “Straight White Men” — Going Their Wobbly Way
Straight White Men features plenty of conflict, but most of this wrangling comes in the form of tiresome, repetitive familial bickering.
Theater Review: “Ripe Frenzy” — American Guns
Playwright Jennifer Barclay has created the perfect vehicle for generating a discussion about safety in our communities.
Theater Review: “Unveiled” — An Exploration in Understanding
As a storyteller, Rohina Malik exudes warmth and humanity.

A fresh interpretation does wonders for this stirring production of Man of La Mancha.
