"The plays of Neil Simon feature layered characters, unique situations, and an abundance of well-crafted comical dialogue. His 1968 comedy Plaza Suite, which is a perfect blend of all of these elements, is a series of three one-act plays all set in the same hotel suite. It's funny but also a poignant examination of the many phases of marriage. Scottsdale Desert Stages Theatre's production features a very good cast and concise direction that result in an incredibly solid production of Simon's classic comedy....The cast all are very good in walking the fine line between the comedy and drama while beautifully portraying these multi-dimensional characters that Simon so expertly wrote. Angela Kabasan is heartbreaking as Karen, the vulnerable and sentimental wife ..Wade Moran is stoic and serious as Sam, the overworked husband who is suffering a midlife crisis. ..Jeff Jones has the perfect devilish demeanor for Jesse, the successful Hollywood producer who is trying to seduce his former flame but finds the moves he puts on her do not always go as planned. Michele La Forest Richmond is an absolute knock-out as Muriel, the flighty, giggly woman who follows Jesse's career and secretly wonders what her life would have been like in California if they were still together. ..The final act features Mary Pat Wallace and Mark Hackmann as the frazzled parents of the bride who locks herself in the bathroom. ..Director KatiBelle Collins does a splendid job in getting performances from her cast that are infused with comedy that never goes too over the top, along with many moving and emotional moments that touch upon the realistic impact of the ups and downs of romance. ...Desert Stages' production is funny and charming while also doing justice to the beauty of the intelligence of Simon's script..

Click here for more information on this production that runs through May 6th.

"..an intriguing, quirky and engaging one act play with music.. (Sasha) Wilson and a talented trio of actor musicians, including Sam Jenkins-Shaw, Drew Leatham and Mario Yniguez, portray multiple characters as they lay out the facts and details of the crime scene to help us weigh the motives in an attempt to determine (Lizzie) Borden's guilt or innocence. With snippets of transcripts from the actual case, and plenty of humor and the inclusion of numerous folk songs from the time period, it's a fun and appealing, though brief, show, running only an hour....both fascinating and entertaining...Wilson packs a lot into the hour-long show and, while it is very fun and fast paced, some of the information is so quickly delivered that a few bits of dialogue and a couple of jokes get lost or jumbled up with other details. There is also a rushed feeling to the entire piece that adds to the upbeat, spontaneous feeling but also makes it seem slightly unfocused at times....The actors are excellent in creating multiple characters while also playing an assortment of musical instruments..a fun, fast and witty history lesson into the facts about the infamous story of Lizzie Borden. ... " -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)

"...a cheekily anachronistic retelling of the murder trial of Lizzie Borden...part “You Are There,” part nouveau vaudeville, and it helps that the performers have great chemistry... " Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic (click here to read the complete review)

"...an immensely delightful and imaginative piece of metatheatre that revisits the evidence of the case and does so with such flair and wit that the final judgment seems almost secondary.... a thoroughly clever, wildly imaginative, and engaging romp through the evidence surrounding the murder of Lizzie Borden's parents. Sasha Wilson tears up the stage as she and her ensemble role out multiple scenarios in an effort to get to the truth about the crime." - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW - Scottsdale Community Players - August 3-11, 2018



Book, Music and Lyrics by Richard O'Brien

One fateful night, Brad Majors and his fiancée, Janet Weiss — a wholesome, well-behaved, utterly normal young couple in love — innocently set out to visit an old professor. Unfortunately for them, this night out is destined to be one they will never forget. A thunderstorm and a flat-tire force them to seek help at the castle of Dr. Frank ’N’ Furter, an alien, transvestite scientist with a manic genius and insatiable libido. Brad, Janet, and Frank’ N’ Furter’s cohorts are swept up into the scientist’s latest experiment. The night’s misadventures will cause Brad and Janet to question everything they’ve known about themselves, each other, love, and lust. A loving homage to the classic B sci-fi film and horror genres with an irresistible rock’n’roll score, The Rocky Horror Show is a hilarious, wild ride that you won’t soon forget!

URINETOWN - Greasepaint Youth Theatre - February 15-24, 2019


MUSIC BY Mark Hollmann
LYRICS BY Mark Hollmann & Greg Kotis
BOOK BY Greg Kotis

Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is an hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms.

In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

Click here for more information on this production that runs through May 13th.

"Robert Anderson's I Never Sang for My Father expertly portrays how family dynamics, and the relationships between parents and children, can cause both love and hate. The drama focuses on one son's lifelong need for the approval and love of his father and the emotional toll that takes when his father is a selfish, emotionless man. It's a simple play with a minimal plot, but Anderson's realistic characters and dialogue plus Theatre Artists Studio's superb cast result in an exceptional production that simmers and crackles until it ultimately explodes with raw emotion..... " -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)


"The bookends of Robert Anderson's memory play, I NEVER SANG FOR MY FATHER, echo a haunting refrain about the frailty of love and connection ~ and, in the failure to realize both, the enduring consequences: 'Death ends a life. But it does not end a relationship.' That sorrowful truth is the axis on which Tom Garrison and his son Gene spin in their daunting struggle to gain one another's affirmation and respect. Theatre Artists Studio is closing its season with Anderson's play. Directed by Steve Fajardo, the presentation is appropriately stark and focused. A simple set with the bare essentials gives the right space to a string of stirring performances... " Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
