Little Women at Montgomery College Summer Dinner Theatre

Reviews July 27, 2022 Amanda N. Gunther

We don’t live for society; we live for what’s inside of us! And Montgomery College Summer Dinner Theatre is living for what’s inside of them; an astonishing production of Little Women, the musical, based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott, with Book by Allen Knee, Music by Jason Howland, and Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein. Directed and Choreographed by Ashleigh King with Musical Direction by Marci Shegogue, this empowering tale of the four March sisters,

Coriolanus at Brave Spirits Theatre

Reviews February 13, 2018 Joshua Engel

For a world turned upside down as 2018, Director Charlene V. Smith has crafted a riveting, provocative, explosive Coriolanus. “Are we even capable of not harming ourselves?” she asks in the director’s notes, echoing Tori Boutin as citizen of Rome: “We willingly consented to his banishment, yet it was against our will.”

Smith’s Rome is not a pinnacle of civilization. It’s violent and dirty, its citizens easily provoked to engage every whim.

The Trojan Women Project at Brave Spirits Theatre

Reviews February 7, 2018 Amanda N. Gunther

The natural orders are ours to make. Gender is a sphere. Women are women regardless of what kind of women they are. Does it make you a bad feminist or a bad woman if your version of feminism and supporting women is not the same as someone from a different generation, from a different race, from a different background, from a different socio-economic standpoint? The Trojan Women Project, devised by Rachel Hynes and the ensemble,

[gay] Cymbeline at Theatre Prometheus

Reviews January 17, 2017 Amanda N. Gunther

Make Shakespeare gay again! The perfectly timed hangtag for Theatre Prometheus’ latest production from the Bard’s canon, [gay] Cymbeline. The company as a whole, though only entering their fourth year, lives up to their motto— “we bring the fire.” For not only do they boldly and daringly swap around the genders in William Shakespeare’s Cymbeline to present a lesbian love story, but their judiciously rendered production actually makes the plot palatable and sensible!
