Love Is Love: Passion and Art Make for Potent ' A Man of No Importance' by R-S Theatrics

Love Is Love: Passion and Art Make for Potent ‘ A Man of No Importance’ by R-S Theatrics

By Lynn Venhaus Managing Editor Passion drives the characters and the R-S Theatrics production of a miraculous little musical that has something to say. The title “A Man of No Importance” is a misnomer, for Alfie Byrne is a remarkable human being whose significance is mirrored in the faces of his fellow Dubliners. In a blockbuster musical theater climate that regularly serves feel-good fluff…

PURCHASE TICKETS HERE -- LIMITED SEATING

As we continue to monitor the Omicron variant, which seems to have peaked but is still very present, we are offering carefully limited ticket sales for the Jan 27-30 performances of Iphigenia in Splott, with socially distanced seating in the Marcelle Theater. Proof of vaccination and masks are strictly required. We still plan to offer a streamed version of the live event--please stay tuned for more information once that becomes available at the end of this week for patrons unable to attend because of Covid-19. Purchased tickets (including for Bohemian Thursday) may be exchanged for a different date, or refunded should a performance be canceled. 

The play is dangerous enough: we want you to feel safe watching it!

Upstream Theater presents the regional premiere of IPHIGENIA IN SPLOTT by Welsh playwright Gary Owen.

Inspired by the Greek myth about a young woman offered as a human sacrifice, Gary Owen’s IPHIGENIA IN SPLOTT is a fireball of a monologue with lines that can be wickedly funny even as they drive home the high price people pay for society’s shortcomings.

A fierce, funny, fabulously naughty 'Avenue Q'

A fierce, funny, fabulously naughty ‘Avenue Q’

By Connie Bollinger Contributing Writer “Avenue Q”  is Sesame Street re-imagined. It has the same sly wit, the same hard look at human behavior, the same messages about acceptance and love, but for an adult audience. A very adult audience.

The Tony-winning musical takes a sometimes-shocking look at post-college age people struggling to be independent and responsible while being happy — kind of…

Faith Put on Trial in David Ives' Engrossing 'New Jerusalem'

Faith Put on Trial in David Ives’ Engrossing ‘New Jerusalem’

  By Andrea Braun Contributing Reviewer Imagine you’re a Jew in Amsterdam in the mid-17th century. You are tolerated in this cosmopolitan city. Likely you’re of Portuguese descent, born of a family who fled the Portuguese Inquisition to find freedom to worship among the Dutch. They call your people conversos, and that’s fine with you because your Iberian identity is still strong in the customs you…

Engrossing Historical Drama Set for New Jewish Theatre

Engrossing Historical Drama Set for New Jewish Theatre

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Amsterdam was a haven for Jewish refugees escaping the Inquisition in Portugal. A large Sephardic community resettled there and the Jews were able to practice their religion openly and peacefully. So much so that Amsterdam was often referred to as the “New Jerusalem.”

That brings us to the subject of the next NJT production, David Ives’ New Jerusalem, the…
