Hippest Trip is quite hip. My review for KQED, runs through 10/8 #hellatheatre https://www.kqed.org/arts/13934433/soul-train-musical-review-hippest-trip-san-francisco

First time seeing a show in #Marin, quite a trek from #SanJose. #Mamlet at Marin Shakes. #hellatheatre

There are only a few days left to catch #Othello at San Jose Stage, featuring a stellar cast which includes South Bay institution Aldo Billingslea in the title role. Through June 25. My review for the @mercnews #hellatheatre https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/06/16/review-othello-pulls-no-punches-at-san-jose-stage/?fbclid=IwAR0B3qNHqBLEwK3j1WV8BPFEIzoxe3_G3vKJaocF7sfr6I7bwBWZR5C_Oak

While I had some qualms with aspects of #SteelMagnolias at TheatreWorks SV, the six-person cast is universally terrific. My review of the show for the
@mercnews, running through July 2 in Mountain View. #hellatheatre https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/06/13/review-theatreworks-delivers-a-mostly-worthy-steel-magnolias/

"The piece regales in its commitment to Treviño Orta’s lyrical language, loaded with mythical poetry, which is quite nourishing for the soul." My review of #TheRiverBride for the @mercnews, thru 6/11. #hellatheatre https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/06/03/review-river-bride-at-city-lights-theater-digs-deep-into-amazonian-folklore/

My fraidy cat journey rounded out with the terrific production of #LetTheRightOneIn at Berkeley Rep. The show's magic and storyline are stunning. Jumped a few times, not gonna lie.

For #KQEDarts, I laid out my top-10 summer theatre picks in the Bay Area. Some great stuff happening as the sweltering months swarm upon us. Shows include #ShotgunPlayers, #SFCurran, #TheatreWorksSV, #SFPlayhouse, #ACTSF, #OaklandTheaterProject, #BerkeleyRep, #LorraineHansberryTheatre, #MarinShakes, #ZBelow #hellatheatre https://www.kqed.org/arts/13929225/bay-area-plays-musicals-summer

It's quite clear that when you arrive at 2nd and San Carlos, then go into the familiar theatre 3 at 3Below, the company has put a lot of stock into the spectacle of #NatashaPierre. My review for the
@mercnews, show runs through May 28. #hellatheatre https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/04/26/review-natasha-pierre-soars-to-life-at-san-jose-playhouse/

What is really striking about #GrandHorizons at SJ Stage is the simplicity of the script, filled with so much insightful wisdom; it's a really rich piece of writing. My review for the Mercury News, running through April 30. #hellatheatre #SanJose https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/04/18/review-grand-horizons-in-san-jose-cleverly-examines-sex-and-marriage-late-life/?fbclid=IwAR3aRhw8973iYLI_n8sPMGaZx6QH5jrSbDOzxhD_KiLF7RBgUntSOcjXR0U

It is always a joy to speak with Marga Gomez, and as an added bonus, I got to speak with another comedy pioneer, Monica Palacios. They both have shows opening in the next two weeks, and they will be lit! We might be talking literally when it comes to the show at Brava Theater Center this week on Thursday. #hellatheatre https://bayareaplays.com/2023/04/18/comedy-pioneers-palacios-and-gomez-set-to-host-big-april-events-at-brava-in-s-f/

Wild writing weekend wraps up today. Seated for the @sanjosestage production of #GrandHorizons for the @mercnews #hellatheatre

My debut review for the @sfchronicle was a bit of a struggle. #hellatheatre https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/theater/a-distinct-society-theatreworks-silicon-valley-17818463

The production of "Blithe Spirit" at City Lights Theater Company in Downtown San Jose is a delight. Digging deep into all of the pithiness of a Noel Coward work is terribly fun, on a highly ambitious scenic design full of scintillating bells and whistles. My review for The Mercury News, the show runs through April 23. #hellatheatre https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/04/04/review-cowards-blythe-spirit-comes-alive-at-city-lights-theater/

Greta Oglesby is a star. Seeing her in the TheatreWorks Silicon Valley solo production of #Fannie is one helluva treat. My review for the
@mercnews, show runs through 4/2. #hellatheatre https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/03/14/review-riveting-fannie-captures-pain-power-of-a-civil-rights-icon/

It was a bit of a bummer opening night for @TabardTheatre, simply because it was their last one. There is still time to support the company, but that time will run out soon. My review of the delightful #Once for the
Mercury News, running through 4/2 #hellatheatre https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/03/13/review-once-makes-a-poignant-swan-song-for-tabard-theatre/

Mercury News review today. #hellatheatre

A bit of a bummer opening night, because it's the final one for @TabardTheatre, closing down after 22 years. Covering #Once for the @mercnews #hellatheatre

Happy to share my debut review for @kqed @KQEDarts. In short, been waiting for #CambodianRockBand to premiere here for years, thrilled to have finally seen it. Through April 2, support this terrific work. #hellatheatre https://www.kqed.org/arts/13925823/cambodian-rock-band-berkeley-rep-review

For the San Francisco Chronicle Datebook, I spoke with playwright Lauren Yee, director Chay Yew and Dengue Fever co-founder Zac Holtzman about Cambodian Rock Band, opening at Berkeley Rep on Wednesday, March 1. Should be a terrific production! #hellatheatre https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/theater/sf-playwright-17787736

Loved this show, loved listening to Satchmo as I wrote. My review of #SatchmoattheWaldorf for the @mercnews, running in downtown #SanJose through Feb. 26 #hellatheatre https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/02/08/review-l-peter-callender-delivers-tour-de-force-in-satchmo/
