Henson (Bertha Holly), The Barrymore Theatre, Theatre Reviews, Theatre Reviews Limited, Tripp Taylor (Jeremy Furlow), vocal coach Dawn-Elin Fraser

Joe Turner was real. Brother of the Tennessee Governor, he would swoop down on Black men in the early 1900s – gambling, preaching, just walking down the road – and keep them enslaved on chain gangs for seven years. “They tell me Joe Turner’s come and gone / Got my man and gone” – the women sang it, a blues…

Friedman Theatre, Theatre Reviews, Theatre Reviews Limited, Thomas Schall (Fight Direction), Tripp Phillips (Production Stage Manager)

Balusters are the decorative posts that support a porch railing – without them, the whole structure collapses. In David Lindsay-Abaire’s wickedly sharp “The Balusters,” now at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, the title works both literally and metaphorically. The Vernon Point Neighborhood Association spends considerable energy debating historically appropriate balusters for the Crawfords’ front porch, but what they…

“Time can be a blisteringly fast thing, where in the blink of an eye – ten years are gone from your life, but the next week is agony.” Nick Yarris (Adrien Brody) opens Lindsey Ferrentino’s “The Fear of 13” with this observation, and it establishes the play’s central paradox.
