Wondering what to see this weekend? There's a smorgasbord, I tell ya, a smorgasbord. At the Cultch, Andy Thompson's often-hilarious Broken Sex Doll offers a chance to see rising star Benjamin Elliott—and a couple of guys in jockstraps and lots of women in spandex....

Pi Theatre's production of Mark O'Rowe's Terminus is handsome on all levels, but it's not getting the sold-out houses it deserves. The imagery in the script is undeniably violent but, good lord, the language is beautiful and the performances are fantastic. So don't...

Go small. In The Icebook, the short, wordless presentation by Davy and Kristin McGuire, which Boca del Lupo is presenting as part of its Micro Performance Series, up to ten audience members at a time watch a kind of magic lantern show.  As the lights dim, Davy starts...

Alright, I'll admit it: some posters on straight.com get up my nose.  This week, I reviewed Zee Zee Theatre's production of Dave Deveau's My Funny Valentine. I gave it a mixed but overall favourable review. Elements of both Anton Lipovetsky's performance and Dave...

The PuSh Festival is coming up January 15 to February 3 and it looks like a bumper year. I want to share some of my picks. I've seen a couple of the shows in earlier versions and I recommend both highly. Ride the Cyclone from Victoria's Atomic Vaudeville is thrilling...

Writing spring and fall theatre previews is always risky business. I mean, I'm asked to recommend productions—in most cases, without having seen them. So how well did I do picking winners in this fall's theatre preview? Some of the shows were remounts that I didn't...
