No one does family dysfunction quite like Sam Shepard, and "A Lie of the Mind" is prime crazy-quilt Shepard, a lengthy examination of relationships that alternate between harrowing and hilar…
The play, an impressive first effort by Campbell, stands on more than a soapbox.
Director Marc Bruni, with an imaginative assist from choreographer Lorin Latarro, has done a fine job of underlining the emotional oomph in what amounts to a cluttered, overstuffed story.
The work is smart, stylish, timely and layered with an intriguing seriousness that inspires discussion after the curtain comes down - a rarity these days.
"Ages of the Moon" may not have the ambition of such Shepard classics as "Buried Child,""Fool for Love" or "A Lie of the Mind," but it is a tantalizing appetizer for what one hopes will be a…
The story of Horace Robedaux comes to an emotionally and theatrically satisfying conclusion in Part 3 of "The Orphans' Home Cycle," Horton Foote's monumental, nine-hour saga of one man's jou…
One of the reasons "Present Laughter" works so well is Coward's shrewd, sure sense of self-mockery, a quality Garber captures with ease.
Movie producer and actor Tyler Perry says he is taking his sharp-tongued character "Madea" back on tour.

There's enough material for several plays in "The Starry Messenger," Kenneth Lonergan's sluggish, soggy, mid-life-crisis tale starring Matthew Broderick as an ineffectual astronomy instructo…
"Dreamgirls" has come home with its glitter, glitz and gusto mostly intact.
If only the rest of the show were as much fun as the sounds produced by its accomplished on-stage orchestra, which is under the direction of guest conductor Rob Fisher. But the production, u…
If Part 1 of The Orphans' Home Cycle is any indication, we are in for a remarkable journey.
This provocative, often quite funny play, which Lincoln Center Theater opened Thursday at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre, is Ruhl's most entertaining work to date.
McCraney's poetic, crackling dialogue is conveyed in his distinctive style, where the actors speak their own stage direction, then perform it.
The play is slight and not as funny as it should be.
By today's more frantic standards, the slight story of "Finian's Rainbow" may feel a bit sedate. But relax and let the emerald-green enchantment of Lane's lush melodies and Harburg's fancifu…
"After Miss Julie" makes for quite an explosive evening.
