Theater

You might have noticed it's been a while..

Due to COVID-19, the theater community has been placed on hold. For the safety of the performers, theater employees, and audience members, shows are currently not in production - which means I don't have any shows to review. Please enjoy my reviews of shows that have passed, and visit the links below to learn how you can support the theater community.
