Theater

You are commissioned to a project which by design is macabre, yet life-saving. Do you engage or abort?

This production digs into the tribal roots of the ultimate cautionary tale from ancient Greece with just the collective animal energy called for.

Judith Sloan's compelling solo show at La MaMa, 'Yo Miss!', is grounded in her experience teaching drama to underprivileged New York City high school and college students.

In Forest's sure hands, comedy, storytelling, and song flow together into a wave of warmhearted, dirty-minded, unexpurgated humanity.

Brimming with a studied outrageousness, and brushed with sentiment, the show takes a sidelong look at the pretentiousness of downtown artsiness, while reminding us – or introducing us to – the French force of nature who provoked the spirits of so many 20th century creatives.

This is a magnificent production, prodigiously acted by the ensemble cast and brilliantly conceived, staged, and designed by Scott Elliott and his team. The production throbs with tension. The undercurrents vibrate throughout. Above all the character portrayals balance evenly to create a living portrait of the poignancy of human families.

Are women truly the fairer sex without men? Or do they fare better in the company of men?

A black thirteen-year-old, a white cop, an eyewitness account, a shattering fall. Do the facts matter when all will suffer?

Diana Brown digs into her own experience in a cult in her entertaining and thoughtful, if unpolished and not entirely satisfying, autobiographical solo show.

A phone call, a question, a proposition, a journey. The power of uncertainty becomes its own destination.
