Best nonmusical revivals... Baltimore CENTERSTAGE's production of Lynn Nottage's "Crumbs From the Table of Joy," a lyrical memory play worthy of comparison with "The Glass Menagerie."

"Between Riverside and Crazy.".. A RICH NEW PLAY DELICIOUSLY MOUNTED!

A heartfelt story of brotherly love based on the true and powerful bond that has grown through the years. "Elliot & Me" is filled with humor, colorful personalities, unexpected situations, and uplifting musical moments.

"The Right Reasons" is a sparkling and utterly believable bedroom sketch that explores the politics of sex in a smart and forthright way.

The current production of "Hughie" at Weehawken's Hudson Theatre Works captures the essence of O’Neill’s late little gem with impressive precision... In some ways, the night clerk in “Hughie” must be the most boring role for an actor in all of American theater... But there is more here, a substance that Wattenmaker locates and allows to emerge. It is no mean feat to find the room necessary to allow this character to evolve, but Wattenmaker’s night clerk does so skillfully.
