Bowl EP Written and directed by Nazareth Hassan Music by Free Fool Vineyard Theatre May 15, 2025 Production website 💉💉 out of 5.
Bowl EP and the National Black Theatre – – – from all I could read about it going into the production was NOT going to be a production geared to my demographic – but that wasn’t going to stop me from going to seeing the production and expanding my theatrical repertoire. I love challenging myself as an audience member. The play sells itself as follows: Kelly K Klarkson and Quentavius da Quitter need to find a name for their rap group. Through flirty interludes, cringy overshares and practicing their “ollies”, they grow increasingly closer. Skating and Smoking. Skating and Drinking. Skating and exorcising a demon. With live skateboarding and original music, enter Bowl EP:
Eurydice Written by Sarah Ruhl Directed by Les Waters Signature Theatre May 13, 2025 Production website 💉💉💉 out of 5.
Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl is a very popular play – – done by colleges and high schools around the county – one that I have seen many, many times. I was very much looking forward to seeing my first professional production of the play. I wish I had a better first professional showing than this one. The story is a most familiar one – it is the classic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and their ill fated love story. Orpheus and Eurydice are young lovers in the land of the living, but soon in the story Eurydice dies on her wedding day. Orpheus then descends into the underworld to bring her back – – – but is given one condition: he cannot look back at her on their journey back to the upper world or he risks loosing her forever. Just as they are about to reach the land of the living, Orpheus, doubting Eurydice is truly behind him, turns to look, which causes her to vanish back into the Underworld.
