“As the days grow shorter and the nights colder, ghosts, goblins and ghouls once again emerge to delight, entertain and inspire. Recently, these creatures of the night haunted the Theatre Too stage and treated audiences to a surreal, bizarre, and exceptionally entertaining performance of “The Bippy Bobby Boo Show.”’
Read More“Too much information is packed into the nearly three-hour verbal onslaught and none of it is new or delivered in a fresh manner that results in entertainment.”
Read More“Under Leigh Silverman’s impeccable and focused direction, the ensemble cast creates a palette of strong emotions and enduring questions about the future of humankind.”
Read More“Birbiglia is smart, likable and witty in his performance, as he opens up to the audience about his anxiety, growth, and acceptance of his new roles and relationships as a husband and father.”
Read More“‘The Mush Hole’ is heartbreaking, astonishing and beautiful. Much like we know and remember about the Holocaust and what happened during World War 2, I was brutally reminded of seeing this production that we here in Canada had our own Holocaust. “
Read More“Piccione says he wrote this play so that people could have a better understanding of how someone like him might be feeling and provide hope to those that are. I would say that he more than achieves that with “Therapy Session.” ‘
Read More“Montrealer Alexandria Haber has written an extremely complex two-hander play about the process of grief and death, and how we are able to move forward.”
Read More“There are so many things going on in this play that it would be impossible to mention them all. All I will say is “Nothing Human” will keep you thinking long after the curtain closes.”
Read More“‘Trout Stanley’ is worth a look especially to see wonderfully solid performances from the three characters.”
Read More“Under Danya Taymor’s intuitive and exacting direction, the accomplished cast delivers believable and authentic performances and embodies the characteristics of Yeats’ rough beast with cathartic effect.”
Read More“The competent cast does what it can but cannot transcend the inferior material they have to work with or the haphazard direction by Lonnie Price who usually delivers an exceptional product.”
Read More“Parenting is not easy for Alex (Sarah Utterback) and Greg (Tim Peper) with their precocious son Jake in the West Coast Premiere “A Kid Like Jake” by Daniel Pearle and presented by IAMA Theatre Company. Marriage isn’t a piece of cake either, as we see in this explosive drama about a couple whose son prefers to dress up as Cinderella, instead of playing with trucks or G.I. Joe figures”
Read More“Although Mr. Letts provides yet another example of his prolific writing in “Linda Vista,” it is also filled with long, incendiary sex scenes that do nothing to move the plot forward and almost seem gratuitous.”
Read More“Under the proficient eye, of Director, Margarett Perry, the interactions and relationships are powerfully, thoughtfully, and subtly acted by this terrific cast of four. The play is beautifully staged and with spot-on timing.”
Read More"“2020” was a show that had a lot of promise and began with many great ideas but failed to go beyond what we see on the news. Clever lines and good ideas were lost amongst the multitude of things it wanted to say. “2020” covered a lot of topics, but again, I ask the question: What about them?”
Read More“The stellar cast is more than competent but seems to have succumbed to the heavy-handed, muddled and indistinct direction of Michael Mayer.”
Read More“The conflicts in the play overlap commentary on economics with the complexities of generational gaps and racial overtones. This may sound overly ambitious and, at times, it was.”
Read More“Soulpepper’s rendition is a careening tsunami. It begins with a joyous peach sun hat and drifts unyielding into madness.”
Read More“Overall, I very much enjoyed “Truth and Reconciliation” and look forward to seeing future iterations.”
Read More"In Moore’s masterful hands, Miss Julie is a stirring invitation to wake up, an invigorating exploration of choice and consequence, gender and class, freewill and authority that you will want to lean forward in your chair to not miss a beat."
