A chilly month awaits us for January. Honestly, there’s not much on my list for this month, but I think many theatres needed the break for the holiday and we will see a surge of productions for February and March. That said, we have some real gems for which I expect record-breaking attendance. From a […]
Happy Holidays to all. We have had a wonderful year at My Entertainment World, and the My Theatre Boston Division is thriving. We are so fortunate to have reviewed some wonderful works this year, and we look forward to many others in 2014. Stay tuned for our My Theatre Awards; this year, for the time […]
I believe that one point of theatre is to recognize the power of discussion and the poignancy of learning from watching others. Such discourse allows communities to react with knowledge, motivation, and purpose. To that end, Zeitgeist Stage Company performed a smart and heart-wrenching production of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart. Helmed by veteran director […]

I can’t quite understand why everything […]

For their fortieth year, Lyric Stage Company pulled out the big guns with silly and smart farces to beautiful and serene dramas to insightful and challenging musicals. For their second production of the season, Lyric Stage Company […]
I have strong feelings about Romeo and Juliet. There, I said it before and I’ll say it again. I always wait with baited breath during the Prologue to see how this new production will interpret this timeless classic. Sometimes, I leave merely disappointed; other times, I leave damned confused. Actors’ Shakespeare Project’s production leaned towards […]
We’re in October, and while our list is relatively short, we have some gems on our calendar. We’re noticing a lack of fringe theatre; are we just ignorantly unaware of the masterpiece works in our greater Boston community or does Boston lack quality fringe theatre? Email me press releases! Email me links of new, emerging […]
