Review by Sarah Lucie Who doesn’t love a good dance party? Or even better, a dance party filled with as much gossip and drama as there is good music. Art Party Theater Company’s new immersive expe

It’s hot in St. Ann’s Warehouse. No matter the weather outside, the theater is alive with the dry, stifling heat of South Africa, but the heat is only one of the many forces imprisoning the characters of “Mies Julie.”

“home/sick” is back for a third run at the historic Living Theatre, and while the thoughtful and inspiring production is the same, this time the work finds itself in conversation with our most recent election.

A 600-pound man is an unexpected sight anywhere, particularly onstage as the lead in a theatrical production. Thanks to Samuel D. Hunter’s wonderful writing and a stellar ensemble, The Whale holds many unusual treats for theatergoers seeking a thought-provoking drama.

Although efforts at acceptance and public awareness have increased in recent years, autism is still a touchy subject. Dramatizing it without resorting to sentiment or homily is no easy task.

It’s not hard to see why Neal LaBute and Italian dramatist Marco Calvani are attracted to each other’s work. Both in tone and subject matter, the plays contained in AdA (Author Directs Author) share similar preoccupations.

Do you remember that childish excitement; the kind that felt like you were busting at the seams when a new toy, idea, or story was discovered?

The word “hostel” generally evokes one of two things: either the boundless excitement of a European backpacking adventure, or the tense anticipation when awaiting the bad guy in a horror movie.

The Flea Theater has the Bible on its brain these days. In its downstairs theater, Thomas Bradshaw’s brutal “Job” reexamines the idea of a coarse and vengeful God. And upstairs, A.R. Gurney’s hokey “Heresy” takes on the Gospel of Mark, resetting Christ’s last days in a dystopian military state.

At one point in the for/word company’s (sic) languid production of “North,” I looked around the theater and counted no less than seven people fully asleep.
