https://buffalotheatreguide.com/2020/03/08/hand-to-god-at-road-less-traveled/ Sabrina Kahwaty and Dan Urtz I saw Road Less Traveled Theater’s production of Hand to God for the first time on March 8, 2020. It was the last show I saw that season before The Long Intermission. It was a complete production, full of heart, humor, hell, and hope.

Spirited Show at D’Youville Kavinoky Theatre
Legend has it that the D'Youville Kavinoky Theatre is haunted. A fire in the original 1874 building took the life of one of the Grey nuns who lived there and it’s thought that she’s still on campus. For the next month, she’s not alone. The Woman in Black, on stage now to November 21, is … Continue reading Spirited Show at D’Youville Kavinoky Theatre
Patience is Indeed a Virtue for All for One Productions
For the cast and crew of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, the past 19 months must have been pure agony. The show was shut down opening night (thank you, Covid) after months of prep by All for One Theatre Productions, (the collaborative comprised of Shea’s 710 Theatre, MusicalFare Theatre, Irish Classical … Continue reading Patience is Indeed a Virtue for All for One Productions
Photograph 51 Holds the Secret of Life at JRT
One of my favorite James Taylor songs begins with these lyrics: “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time…” Sometimes we’re robbed of time. Sometimes we’re robbed of opportunity. Part of the human condition. For real-life British scientist Rosalind Franklin, the focus of Photograph 51, presented by Jewish Repertory Theatre, her early death … Continue reading Photograph 51 Holds the Secret of Life at JRT
Tootsie – Now on Stage at Shea’s
Full disclosure: I generally don’t enjoy productions that morph from screen to stage. I prepared myself to embrace Tootsie, now on stage at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre, with an open mind, and pushed my 1982 movie memories to the back of my brain. So a show with music and lyrics by David Yazbek (writing for screen … Continue reading Tootsie – Now on Stage at Shea’s

...it uses a chillingly fairytale set up to tell the story of a group of German Gentile woman in the never-idyllic days of Nazis and World War II.
“To the New Girl…” at New Phoenix Theatre
Sarah Emmerling as Elissa Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And if that woman has your address - physical or email – there’s a good chance you’re gonna hear from her. Sharing pearls of personal wisdom between the about-to-be-ex and the trade-in is the premise behind To The New Girl from the Former … Continue reading “To the New Girl…” at New Phoenix Theatre
It’s a New Camelot at MusicalFare
"Camelot" at MusicalFare. Picture courtesy of the theatre. Sometimes the simple joys of maidenhood are experienced in a comfortable theatre watching a classic piece of American musical theatre re-imagined on stage. Who thinks that? C’est moi, of course. MusicalFare Theatre opened its 2021-22 season on a resonant high note with Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot taking … Continue reading It’s a New Camelot at MusicalFare
It’s a Hoot at D’Youville Kavinoky Theatre
The cast of From Honky Tonk To Protest: A Woman's View of Country Music at D'Youville Kavinoky Theatre I’ll put this right upfront: I’m not a country music fan. That didn’t stop me from thoroughly enjoying From Honky Tonk to Protest: A Woman’s View of Country Music onstage now at D’Youville Kavinoky Professional Theatre (note … Continue reading It’s a Hoot at D’Youville Kavinoky Theatre
“Art” on Stage at O’Connell & Company
It’s so good to finally write these words after the longest intermission ever: welcome to a new theatre season, Western New York. O’Connell & Company started the season with a surprise: a comedy and not the typical musical. “Art” was written by Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton. It was first performed in London … Continue reading “Art” on Stage at O’Connell & Company
