Shakespeare in Love
In short, Pierce College’s Shakespeare in Love is absolutely magical and a fantastic homage to the film, while still being its own wonderful play. It’s a nerve wracking, tumultuous, inspiring and magical play performed with gusto and nuance and reverence by a truly wonderful cast who should be very proud of the miracle of what they have accomplished. They took a film and made it better… Review>>

Othello
Othello, by no less than The Bard himself, William Shakespeare, is one of the richest works in all of literature. It’s a deep dive into deceit, depravity, and despair. Through all the machinations, the talented members of the J-P Theatre Productions ensemble give vast life to the two most primal human emotions – love and fear – as well as the single most powerful one, jealousy.

HIGH MAINTENANCE
High Maintenance is a comic, albeit an unnerving glimpse into our near future. Full of wonderful observational comedy deftly directed and artfully acted. A sobering stare into the future of art as a whole. I’m sure the actors on stage and, especially the very fine actor playing the robot, must be more than a little alarmed by the almost reality of this excellent story.

Could I Have This Dance?
What struck me most keenly about this production when I sat down to write about it was how much I laughed. Not something you might expect to do when seeing a play that revolves around a disease. But that is because of Doug Haverty and this clever compassionate and ultimately thoroughly inviting world he has created. You love these characters. Review>>

Can't Live Without 'Em
It's an absolutely hilarious comedy about a man in a coma, his wife, his ex-wife and his pregnant lover. His mind, however, is very lucid and takes on physical form for our amusement. Thomas is played to perfection by the sublimely talented and sweetly charismatic Bert Emmett, interloping as the spirit of Thomas, bound to the room in which his almost lifeless carcass lies.
