Post-Partum Woes Turn to Madness in Theatre Lab’s Bow Overactive Letdown
Buckle up if you’re attending the world premiere run of Overactive Letdown at Theatre Lab as a new mother spirals out of control in a harrowing descent into madness.

Dracula’s Prey At Zoetic: No Helpless Fainting Victims Here
In Zoetic Stage’s premiere Dracula, the vampire is a sexist pig (as are several men in the play). The protagonists are strong-willed proto-feminists. Together, they embody a society struggling with re-envisioning what self-empowered women can and should be. Michael McKeever’s script as directed by Stuart Meltzer presents social commentary told with droll, wry and self-aware humor, and the retelling of the classic horror narrative.
Dancing Lessons Teaches More About Life Than Fancy Steps
