In Buffalo, we know what it’s like to live in a factory town. In some families, working at the plant is part of your legacy. Maybe it’s your father or uncle who put in the word that got you that job, just as his uncle or father did for him. You expect the security of … Continue reading Sweat Packs a Punch at RLTP

Suspense on Stage at RLTP
Remember “Long Distance Call,” that episode of the incredible and timeless TV classic The Twilight Zone, where Billy Mumy’s grandmother gives him a play telephone and then she dies the next day? Whenever he picks up the phone, his grandma is talking to him. The Thin Place, the new production at Road Less Traveled Theater, … Continue reading Suspense on Stage at RLTP
Guards at the Taj at Road Less Traveled Productions
I’ve always loved a good buddy story. Butch and Sundance, Thelma and Louise, Oscar and Felix…you get it. One is always solid, pragmatic while the other is more spontaneous, creative, free-falling through life because the other buddy is both the emotional safety net and soft place to land. Road Less Traveled Productions has the ultimate … Continue reading Guards at the Taj at Road Less Traveled Productions
Mysterious Circumstances at Road Less Traveled
Mark Twain was right: Truth is stranger than fiction. In the case of Mysterious Circumstances, sumptuously presented now by Road Less Traveled Productions, an unsolved true crime (or was it?) might be solved by the iconic fictional sleuth who ‘died’ 113 years earlier. Complicated? Not really. OK, maybe a little. Mysterious Circumstances is the true … Continue reading Mysterious Circumstances at Road Less Traveled
Islena is a Celebration!
Islena means islander. For Victoria Perez, being an islander is part of who she is and always will be. It’s in her soul. Islena is also the perfect title for her original one-woman show, a glorious celebration of her life as an islena transplanted at a young age to Buffalo. This is exuberant, boisterous celebration, … Continue reading Islena is a Celebration!
Little Women…now…At Last!
Louisa May Alcott’s coming of age chick lit classic Little Women has been required reading since its 1868 publication. Hence, it’s multiple iterations on stage and screen: everyone loves the four plucky sisters of Concord, MA, their stalwart mother, and the men who dance around their periphery of their lives. Except me. I know, some … Continue reading Little Women…now…At Last!
Families and Cultures Clash in Tribes
Families and cultures: sometimes they connect and sometimes they don’t. Tribes, now on stage at Road Less Traveled Theatre, makes that point very clear. Playwright Nina Raine crafted an interesting take on a family story. Parents and two of the three adult children are so wrapped up in their own orbits that they chose not … Continue reading Families and Cultures Clash in Tribes
Hand to God Returns to Road Less Traveled Theater
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. RLTP wisely re-opened its 18th … Continue reading Hand to God Returns to Road Less Traveled Theater
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

Elston’s fear and fascination with this creature was the inspiration for his play.
