Dorothy’s Dictionary at Theatre Lab Is Entry Worth Looking Up
In a time when so much theater and film seem dependent on sling-shots of unexpected left turns there’s a quiet life-affirming pleasure in a work that follows precisely the arc you expect from its familiar telegraphy. Such is the world premiere of E.M. Lewis’ Dorothy’s Dictionary at Theatre Lab – a warm and poignant celebration of words, books and bonds between people who love them

Ich Bin Ein Berliner Links Fall of Berlin Wall, Oppression in Cuba
