Peter & The Starcatcher

Reviews July 23, 2025 Amanda N. Gunther

What if there was a play that could make you see how the world could be instead of the way that it is? Second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning. Though not quite. A little before that. Before that? You ask? Inconceivable! Wrong. Think again. Before there was the Pan as we know him, all green-clad and crowing, flying and taunting the infamous Captain Hook, there was a nameless boy…a perhaps even a lost boy,

Monster (or #MeToo, Brute)

Reviews October 11, 2024 Amanda N. Gunther

Reputation is everything. You either have enough wealth to buy reputation or you have enough reputation to be wealthy. That’s the vicious cycle of existing. Or at least existing on the internet. In a world-premiere of Marshall Logan Gibbs’ new work, Monster (or #MeToo, Brute) the ‘safe space’ of the internet is deeply examined through an all-too relatable lens. Directed by Maxwell Wolf, this current production appears as one of two brand new works being produced by The Maryland Theatre Collective this 2024/2025 season and is deeply poignant,

The Heat Is On: From Benny Southstreet to Truest Ethos a Chat with Marshall Logan Gibbs & Maxwell Wolf

Interviews August 25, 2022 Amanda N. Gunther
