Review: WEDDING BAND at The Catherine B. Berges Theatre At COCA

Jones collaborates with his cast and crew to mount an artful production of Alice Childress’ important story. He captures the grievous nature of oppressive racism and the fears of mixed-race couples in doomed relationships. This outstanding production of Wedding Band is being presented by The Black Rep at COCA’s Catherine B. Berges Theatre through March 31st.

Review: TWISTED MELODIES at Catherine B. Berges Theater At COCA

intense and gripping, Twisted Melodies is a transformative piece of jukebox theater. Riveting and powerful, this tightly-paced production sheds new light on an artist whose voice, lyrics, and music remain influential.

Review: SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER at COCA's Catherine B Berges Theatre

TWSTL’s SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER is a fairly well-constructed production of Tennessee William’s play. There is a lot to unpack in the 90-minute psychological drama including maternal obsession, malice, repressed homosexuality, mental illness, manipulation, pedophilia, greed, and cannibalism. Most of it works, some of it doesn’t, and leads to a conclusion that may leave the audience unsatisfied.

Review: SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM at The Catherine Berges Theatre At The Center For The Creative Arts (COCA)

Although Side by Side by Sondheim provides audiences with a dose of light musical entertainment, those familiar with the composer’s prolific output may not be satisfied. This is because when these songs are taken out of the context of their full productions, some of the magic wanes.

Review: PRIVATE LIVES at Catherine B. Berges Theatre At COCA

The Rep’s superb production of Noël Coward's Private Lives is directed by Meredith McDonough. This emotionally raw drama pulls no punches in depicting the intense passion and constant divisiveness that haunts Amanda and Elyot’s relationship. Alternating between sexually charged and emotionally abusive, the complex dynamics of their relationship never make the audience feel at ease.
