DOG MOM is Theatre at its Best, Here or Anywhere Else

There are days of doing this when I just get to gush. Today is one of those days.

I have had the pleasure this past year of witnessing some of the best theatre of my life. VA Rep’s Primary Trust floored me. Richmond Shakespeare continued their epic run of hits with The Importance of Being Earnest, Macbeth and As You Like It. Richmond Triangle Players made I Love You Because sing.

‘Love & Vinyl’ Is a Rom-Com Set and Staged Inside Plan 9

Record stores have always been more than retail. People go in saying they’re just browsing, but that’s rarely the whole story. It’s a treasure hunt. They’re chasing a feeling. They’re hoping to recognize themselves in someone else’s taste.

That’s why Plan 9 Music makes sense as the setting for Love & Vinyl, a site-specific romantic comedy by playwright Bob Bartlett, produced by Cadence Theatre Company. The play doesn’t simulate a record store onstage. It takes place inside one.

‘SMOKE’ at Firehouse, Fire in my Belly

Once again, a trip to the Firehouse Theatre has found a way to send me home with a boiling pit of emotions churning in my gut and fiery rants on the tips of my fingers.
