Theater Review: “The Inheritance” — Confronting the Unthinkable

As National Pride Month begins, The Inheritance is a powerful way to honor and remember the impossible journey so many have taken to win the right to simply be themselves in public.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: David Greenham, Mark H. Dold., Matthew Lopez, Paul Daigneault, SpeakEasy Stage Company, The Inheritance

Theater Review: “Once on This Island” — At the Whim of the Gods

This staging is a reminder that theater magic is fickle and time-bound — it’s hard to dependably catch lightning in a bottle.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Kenny Lee, Once On This Island, Pascale Florestal, Peli Naomi Woods, SpeakEasy Stage Company

Theater Review: “People, Places & Things” — Grappling with Addiction

People, Places & Things memorably tackles the insidiousness of addiction.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Duncan Macmillan, Marianna Bassham, People Places & Things, SpeakEasy Stage Company

Theater Review: “BLKS” — Fun, Heartbreaking, and Thought-Provoking

BLKS is a bouncing, romping, profanity-laced, and sex-filled roller coaster — but it also has an important message for those who are not Black femme sisters

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Aziza Barnes, BLKS, SpeakEasy Stage Company, Tonasia Jones

Theater Review: “The Sound Inside” — A Hollow Thud

A hatred of self and others sits, relatively neglected, at the center of Adam Rapp’s script.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Adam-Rapp, Bryn Boice, SpeakEasy Stage Company, The Sound Inside

Theater Review: “Songs for a New World” — A Musical for Our Moment

Songs for a New World grapples with the jumble of emotions prompted by the end of the pandemic, while also serving as a potent reminder of what a joyful experience musical theater can be.

By: Erik Nikander Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Jason Robert Brown, Paul Daigneault, Songs for a New World, SpeakEasy Stage Company

Theater Review: “TJ Loves Sallly 4 Ever” — Scattershot Satire

An exciting, subversive idea animates TJ Loves Sally 4 Ever.

By: Erik Nikander Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: James Ijames, Pascale Florestal, SpeakEasy Stage Company, Tah-Janay Shayoñe, TJ Loves Sally 4 Ever

Theater Review: “The Pink Unicorn” — Hugging the Cactus

SpeakEasy Stage Company has (once again) chosen a bold script for its audience.

By: David Greenham Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Elise Forier Edie, SpeakEasy Stage Company, Stacey Fischer, The Pink Unicorn

Theater Review: “The Children” — After the Damage Has Been Done

An apocalyptic backdrop gives the play urgency, especially given the current worldwide struggle to contain the Corvid-19 virus, which has already claimed thousands of lives.

By: Robert Israel Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Karen MacDonald, Paula Plum, Robert Israel, SpeakEasy Stage Company, The Children

Theater Review: “Pass Over” — An Unforgiving World

If one of the aims of art is to create a distinctively imaginative world, than Pass Over succeeds in generating a landscape of devastation, a hopeless place filled with gaping wounds and visible scars.

By: Robert Israel Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Antoinette Nwandu, Monica White Ndounou, Pass Over, Robert Israel, SpeakEasy Stage Company
