  • Review “The Invisible Hand” (Steep Theatre): Puts us in the room and lets the walls close in!

    Monday, October 16, 2017 Steep Theatre, The Fourth Walsh Permalink 0

    Steep Theatre presents THE INVISIBLE HAND. An American banker kidnapped in Pakistan might be reported on CNN. It, at least, would likely be an article under international happenings in a newspaper. Details about the captivity, personal negotiations for survival, the pain, the panic, the tedium would be glossed over for the short factual blurb. The real ...

    Steep Theatre presents EARTHQUAKES IN LONDON. This show is a lot. Huge cast. Multiple storylines. Long running time. And a choreographed musical number?!  It's true!  In Steep's modest space, the 15-member ensemble dance.  Steep's signature British angst is momentarily halted as the cast frolic on stage to "I'm not a Robot." And guess what, a robot ...

    Friday, July 8, 2016 Steep Theatre, The Fourth Walsh Permalink 0

    Steep Theatre presents the U.S. premiere of WASTWATER. Playwright Simon Stephens and Steep team up again to deliver their signature British angst.

  • Review “The Few” (Steep Theatre): Honestly Thought-Provoking

    Friday, April 15, 2016 Steep Theatre, The Fourth Walsh Permalink 0

    Steep Theatre presents the Midwest Premiere of THE FEW. Playwright Samuel D. Hunter gives voice to the invisible and marginalized.  His plays are usually set in his home state of Idaho or other Midwest states. His characters are ordinary folks struggling with real life. I enjoy Hunter’s work immensely. Besides THE FEW, I’ve seen The ...
