Reviews August 9, 2025 Amanda N. Gunther

Love at first sight is built on illusion; it doesn’t stop it from happening but does it make it any less real? One of several topics intrinsically woven into the new work— Floating Down to Camelot by Steven J. Satta, appearing as a collaborative production between Baltimore Playwrights Festival and Spotlighters Theatre this summer. Running for two weekends under the direction of Cat Bustos, this play has a lot of heartfelt moments, good intentions,

Think Pink! at Pink Pen Theatre

Reviews October 5, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

Love is love is love is love. We’ve all heard it, and yet that message seems to still fall on deaf ears. We live in unique times, trying times, and what better way to draw the line in the sand and then make our stand than through art? Launching its inaugural production, the new theatre company, Pink Pen Theatre, is proud to present Think Pink! a gay play festival featuring ten world premiere short plays (and one Baltimore premiere short play) from local playwrights,

Review: Under the Skin at Everyman Theatre

Reviews January 28, 2016 Amanda N. Gunther

Blood is thicker than water, but it isn’t bondage— an unyielding tie to our relations— it’s more like a bond— a tie that connects us to one another in an unbreakable and inexplicable manner. Under the skin, we’re all family, tracing our roots back to the most basic of human origins, and playwright Michael Hollinger articulates that in his touching familial drama Under the Skin. Directed by Vincent M. Lancisi, this poignant and evocative drama performs explorative theatrical surgery on the construct of human relationships when it comes to the boundaries of the body and the limits of love.

Making its world premier at Iron Crow Theatre, this engaging and compelling drama reveals a great many truths which are in need of being told.

Review: The Revelation of Bobby Pritchard at Iron Crow Theatre

Reviews March 15, 2015 Amanda N. Gunther

There are some things that have to be said. Baltimore playwright Rich Espey is saying them loudly and clearly with his striking new drama The Revelation of Bobby Pritchard. Receiving its world premier at Iron Crow Theatre, this poignant life-altering play is a reckoning of the times; a true engagement of lifestyles juxtaposed against religious beliefs. Espey’s work will not be done justice in print and must be seen to be fully appreciated,

Review: References to Salvador Dalì Make Me Hot at Single Carrot Theatre

Reviews January 9, 2015 Amanda N. Gunther

The universe is an optical illusion. Domesticity verses wildlife; the age-long endless battle of which is natural and which is right. Single Carrot Theatre investigates this controversial topic with their production of Josè Rivera’s References to Salvador Dalì Make Me Hot. Directed by Steven J. Satta, this surrealist work based in reality with hints of magical realism and dream-escapism lives up to the standard of the typical Carrot productions: making you think whilst spinning you about in blissful confusion.
