STRONG STOIC STRAITZ: ALPHA PODCAST FOR MALE KINGS (a musical)

vince tula · June 06, 2026 certified reviewer
As a straight white passing cisgender male, finally a show to take the theater back for us by us! A reminder of how valuable it is to produce theater that is written by dead white men or billionaires, I left feeling seen. The “Male Loneliness” number spoke to my soul. So true. ... full review

Three Eulogies for Tyson Miller

vince tula · June 06, 2026 certified reviewer
A tour de force in acting, especially Tom. 75 minutes of embodiment, commitment and clarity. There’s a lot of nuance in the writing and in the web of relationships between the 3 characters. These are the type of actors that directors want to work with and wish more actors were like; it’s evident in their performances, embodiment and execution.... full review

Good Boys Anonymous

anonymous · June 06, 2026 certified reviewer
This play and these actors are brilliant! Bill Prudich brings together a series of 7 monologues tied together through the setting of a support group circle where everyone is dealing with the burden of being a “good boy/ girl”. The intimate stories of these people are raw, vulnerable and heart wrenching; shining a light into the origin of their people pleasing habits and their struggle with coming to terms and letting it finally go, with Joshua Alejo, Scott Hislop and Bill Prudich being strong... full review
