Bobby killed Casey in a cornfield in Milton, Nebraska ten years ago. Now he's being released, and no one in Milton knows how to feel about - or why he did it in the first place.

Anastasia 👸 Theatre Review
Written by Thelonia
When visiting friends and family come to New York City, it is a time honored tradition of finding something to see on Broadway. It can get a bit complicated to accommodate everyone's tastes at once (are we going for sad? light-hearted? indie darlings? the big shows?). Luckily, if you're hosting twenty year old girls who like Disney Princesses, you currently have a pretty good selection to choose from (well, if you count two big Broadway shows a good selection, which I am, so), and so, once upon a December, I got to see Anastasia (the Broadway Musical)! And was torn between nostalgic love, a good fun musical, and a lot of confusion as to how to feel politically.
A Doll's House, Part 2 👪 Theatre Review
Written by Thelonia
When she left her family years ago, Nora didn’t know what would await her. In this continuation of the 1879 Norwegian play A Doll’s House, A Doll’s House, Part 2 picks up 15 years later as Nora returns to straighten affairs and inadvertently reunites with her family in this lighter, more comedic re-imagining of a family dealing with social upheavals and new roles for women in the late 19th century.

What happens when the Catfish get revealed and the true players have to come out from behind their keyboards to confront the consequences of their lies?
Love, Love, Love 😰 Theatre Review
Written by Thelonia
The writing is quick and clean but the characters themselves are messy, sloppy, and often sloppy drunk. Love, Love, Love is a look at a family throughout decades, as baby boomers from the 60s get children and grow and create neurotic, damaged children of their own as we look at the question: how responsible for their children are parents?

The Cherry Orchard 😔 Theatre Review
Written by Thelonia
A bunch of Russian Aristocrats are on the brink of destruction, and though their Cherry Orchard may be their salvation, they are too stuck in their ways to move with the times and adapt to the new social hierarchy, which no longer protects them at all costs. Though the Roundabout Theatre's production hints at an Americanized version of the Chekhov classic, this adaptation tries to play both fields in terms of tradition and innovation, and ends up a confusing jumble of times, places, and people, ultimately loosing the human pathos of the original play in its attempts to modernize.
