The all-male Propeller Company has given us a production of The Merchant of Venice that's all speed and conviction. For the most part, it's played with brutal force and unyielding fervor.

The desire is extra thick in this excellent revival of Desire Under the Elms.

Sherie Rene Scott is absolutely hilarious in her 90- minute  autobiography show Everyday Rapture. It's a send-up of one-person shows, but there's also a serious side to the proceedings.

An excellent revival of an often misunderstood play. Thank the cast for an effective and enjoyable time at the theater.

There's a good play in here somewhere. Can Craig Lucas find it?

This is a musical that tries too hard to please. Yes, the tunes are perky and the leading ladies likable. But that old adage that less is more should have been heeded.

Sad to say, this revival is a mouthful of "d's": dreay, dull, and frankly, pretty dreadful.

Kids and adults of all ages will find great satisfaction with this latest edition of Cirque du Soleil. The acts are still breathtaking and the performers remarkable.

Accent on Youth is an ageless charmer, with more vigor than many modern shows-as well as a touch of wisdom.
