It's a revelation: EUREKA DAY now onstage at THE HUNTINGTON THEATRE is a A WILDLY FUNNY satire with a pitch-perfect cast attempting to unravel the Gordion knot of woke communication in the real world where consensus is a dream.

Director Jeremy Johnson runs a tight ship: 90 minutes from stem to stern! Though the set design is merely serviceable, what happens on that [...]
Love that frisky title: DIDO OF IDAHO! The play by Abby Rosebrock, now onstage at APOLLINAIRE THEATRE, is a mad mash-up of myth and modern romance about a latter day "Dido" named Nora, in love with her wayward "Aeneas" Michael. The classic myth culminates in his betrayal and her suicide. Rosebrock's dark comedy culminates in [...]
