This is Shakespeare that trusts its audience, trusts its actors, and trusts the joy of live theatre to do the rest.
This production, directed by Emily N. Wells, explores the nature of predators and reimagines the story as a brilliant, unsettling, darkly comedic drama.
“Dad’s Place – A Farce” is a ridiculous riot that will make you LOL!
The Comeuppance…addresses the inevitability of death in our lives and how we persevere through trials and tribulations
Magnolia Theatre Company, under the leadership of Founding Artistic Director Gina Handy Minyard, has a production that is timely, smart, and thought-provoking.
A marvelously charming musical with an impressive cast leaves the audience thoroughly entertained.
“A Distinct Society” is a thought-provoking and insightful contemporary story. I recommend it because it is ironically prophetic.
Kareem Fahmy’s play, based on true events, unfolds in a library straddling the U.S.-Canada border, where five individuals from diverse backgrounds converge amidst the chaos
Short Version: this cast takes on a weird, sad, and esoteric script that at times invokes an almost 1950’s “old money” aesthetic, as well as a vision of the Underworld that would make Homer proud.
The overarching theme is romantic love and familial relationships. In this rendering, there is also an emphasis on the importance of language, learning and memory.
Complementing the action on stage without distracting is an ethereal set designed by Melissa Bennett and brought to life by Scenic Artisan Samantha Reno. The set is both grand and minimal at the same time which is a feat within itself.
