Top Productions!

 

3.THE CHILDREN

(Speakeasy Stage Company)

Lucy Kirkwood's eerily prophetic text receives the royal treatment thanks to an all-star cast - Tyrees Allen, Karen MacDonald, and Paula Plum. 

 

Director Bryn Boice brings the Tony-nominated play to life in a haunting production that will stay in our minds.

The world around our main characters is in peril, and our main characters are in isolation. 

 

When an old friend visits, things get even more out of hand.

 

 

2. FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

(Broadway In Boston @ Emerson Colonial Theatre) 

This joyous Revival pays homage to productions of yore while remaining contemporary. 

 

The Tony-nominated Choreography by Christopher Evans is full of life and brings new energy and insight to our characters and their cultures.

The old-school (thank you!) sets and set changes are balanced by a new interpretation of Teyve portayed by Yehezkel Lazarov. 

 

He finds new levels and humor which make this story more relevant than ever.

 

 

1. PASS OVER

(Speakeasy Stage Company)

This Lortel Award-Winning play by Antoinette Nwandu redefines the power of language and culture. 

 

Out of the wrong mouths, certain words can make a person feel powerful. 

 

Out of the correct mouths, the same words can take back that power. 

 

And control.

Unfortunately more relevant than ever, this production re-examines how nothing has changed with respect to race, culture, society, and relationships. 

 

Under intense direction by Monica White Ndounou, Kadahj Bennett and Hubens "Bobby" Cius invite us into the lives of "Moses" and "Kitch." 

 

Their dialogues and exchanges are as realistic as they are unapologetic. 

 

Kudos to the credible friendship they have created for the stage.

Lewis D. Wheeler as Mister/Ossifer is the reminder of how society moves backwards. 

 

And continues to do so.

In a year already saturated with virus and violence, this production is a solemn reminder that things can come to pass.

We hope.
