Think Pink! at Pink Pen Theatre

Reviews October 5, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

Love is love is love is love. We’ve all heard it, and yet that message seems to still fall on deaf ears. We live in unique times, trying times, and what better way to draw the line in the sand and then make our stand than through art? Launching its inaugural production, the new theatre company, Pink Pen Theatre, is proud to present Think Pink! a gay play festival featuring ten world premiere short plays (and one Baltimore premiere short play) from local playwrights,

Review: Under the Skin at Everyman Theatre

Reviews January 28, 2016 Amanda N. Gunther

Blood is thicker than water, but it isn’t bondage— an unyielding tie to our relations— it’s more like a bond— a tie that connects us to one another in an unbreakable and inexplicable manner. Under the skin, we’re all family, tracing our roots back to the most basic of human origins, and playwright Michael Hollinger articulates that in his touching familial drama Under the Skin.

There are some things that have to be said. Baltimore playwright Rich Espey is saying them loudly and clearly with his striking new drama The Revelation of Bobby Pritchard. Receiving its world premier at Iron Crow Theatre, this poignant life-altering play is a reckoning of the times; a true engagement of lifestyles juxtaposed against religious beliefs. Espey’s work will not be done justice in print and must be seen to be fully appreciated,

Review: References to Salvador Dalì Make Me Hot at Single Carrot Theatre

Reviews January 9, 2015 Amanda N. Gunther

The universe is an optical illusion. Domesticity verses wildlife; the age-long endless battle of which is natural and which is right. Single Carrot Theatre investigates this controversial topic with their production of Josè Rivera’s References to Salvador Dalì Make Me Hot. Directed by Steven J. Satta, this surrealist work based in reality with hints of magical realism and dream-escapism lives up to the standard of the typical Carrot productions: making you think whilst spinning you about in blissful confusion.
