And What of the Children...

matthew robinson · June 28, 2025 certified reviewer
A well directed, really thought provoking, shocking, and thrillingly acted play. This is a story told with such ferocity that you almost forget to breathe at points, terrified of what may transpire next. Anchored by strong performances, an unrelentingly sharp script and tactful direction this all comes together for a haunting production, that will stay with you long after it bows.... full review

Jenny Lind Presents P.T. Barnum

matthew robinson · July 01, 2024 certified reviewer
A gorgeously performed operatic show that also includes lesser known history about PT Barnum and his treatment of people. This is a show that really puts you into a moment in time that we sometimes forget about, shining light on an unsung hero. Beautifully told with incredible singing this is a spectacular solo show!... full review

The Bearer of Bad News

matthew robinson · June 19, 2022 certified reviewer
A show that will stick with you long after you have left the theater. With incredibly nuanced and powerful performances and a strikingly horrific and captivating story at it's core. Sometimes beautiful, often terrifying but always engaging and challenging. This is a play that dares to dive into the conversation of body autonomy in a way I have never seen before. Finding a delicate balance in a concept that could have easily been considered absurd, but it's confident and it nails it's message with... full review

A Day With My Mother

matthew robinson · June 18, 2022 certified reviewer
Noelle Hall has a bright future ahead of her as a theatre writer and director as structure and the overall tone of the show lend itself to a solid story. However the lack of variance with the tone of story leads into relentless melodrama that can be hard to get invested in. The show is so oppressive to the characters and audience it is hard to be invested as the stakes aren't clear enough and the absolute lack of joy makes it hard for there to be anything to root for. Talent is all over this prod... full review
