This show stayed with me for a lot of reasons long after it was over. One particular moment, which I mention in the review, was special. Catch this one while you can. My review of #PrimaryTrust at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley, through March 29. #hellatheatre (gift link)

Harry's Hofbrau is full of meat & gravy. It's also where I had a great convo with 2 creatives premiering #PrimaryTrust at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley. I then went over to rehearsal to catch their chemistry in person. My feature for the @mercurynews.com. Show runs 3/4-29. #hellatheatre (gift article)

One of the biggest seasons in years. I've seen all these shows (except Outsiders and Gatsby), and have not been this hyped about ATG in years.
Interesting thing - back in the day, we used to get a month in the Bay, but now they are all 3 week runs. A bit of a bummer. #hellatheatre (gift article)

The Cherry Orchard at Marin Theatre is excellent. Great translation, with a solid cast of the Bay Area's most acclaimed talent. So much to like about the show. Always great to be back writing theater reviews for @kqedarts.bsky.social. #hellatheatre www.kqed.org/arts/1398639...

Another show about how Shakespeare is hip-hop? Actually, no. We all discovered The Bard for the first time, but for Jacob Ming-Trent, it was life or death. The ending is a struggle, but the show really is terrific. My review of "How Shakespeare Saved My Life" for the @mercurynews.com. #hellatheatre

Hershey Felder's annual appearance on the Peninsula at TheatreWorks has an emotional bent, telling his very personal life story. It was so beautiful when he dedicated "Claire de Lune" to the memory of Alex Pretti in the post-show Q&A. My review for The @mercurynews.com. #hellatheatre (gift article)

Palo Alto Players is ready for their production of "The Da Vinci Code." How do u translate a roller coaster thriller to the stage? Artistic director Patrick Klein was also curious, so he went to find out. My feature for the @mercurynews.com about this regional premiere. (gift article) #hellatheatre

I believed "Georgiana and Kitty," the 3rd in the Pemberley series trilogy, would be quite good. I didn't anticipate it to be as funny as it was, and better than expected. The show runs thru 12/28 at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley. My review for the @mercurynews.com #hellatheatre (gift article)

Director Jeffrey Bracco does a terrific job of creating mood in "Over the River and Through the Woods" by Joe DiPietro at City Lights Theater. It's a delightful production that really bears down with some wonderful acting performances. My review for the @mercurynews.com, thru 12/21 #hellatheatre

For @kqedarts.bsky.social, @enkohl.bsky.social and I did our annual end of the year picks for theater events, shows and news. In 2025, there were great things going on despite news that was a bit tough on the ecosystem. Still, there's hope for a more positive 2026 in Bay Area theater. #hellatheatre
