I’m not the biggest history buff in the world (not gonna lie, I rocked the heck out of AP Euro, but that was years ago, and didn’t, you know, cover the history of places that… weren’t Europe), but I deem this book pretty solidly executed. And what’s more, I enjoyed reading it/learning stuff about history/re-learning […]

 

Why Shakespeare in Action not only mounted The Diary of Anne Frank last year but is RE-mounting it now at the Al Green Theatre through March 24th is beyond me. It’s an excellent production of a well-constructed play presenting a profound true story, but they’re a Shakespeare company presenting a Holocaust play- it just feels […]

Before we announce the winners of the 2011 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present the My Theatre Nominee Interview Series.   Antonio Bavaro‘s brilliantly nuanced performance in the staged reading of Puelo Deir’s Holy Tranity was a highlight of the 2011 Toronto Fringe, earning him a My Theatre Award nomination for Best Performance in […]

Before we announce the winners of the 2011 My Theatre Awards, we’re proud to present the My Theatre Nominee Interview Series.   The Boston theatre scene is constantly changing. 2011 saw the tragic departure of the wonderful Independent Drama Society but the beginning of the promising Argos Productons. Insightful director Brett Marks was, in some […]

SpeakEasy Stage assembled an amazing 2011-2012 season; kudos to Paul Daigneault, Producing Artistic Director, and the rest of the SpeakEasy crew.   The highlight of their season for me was their current production of Next to Normal, a show that swept Broadway by storm a few years ago and continues to reverberate through the theatre […]
