  1. #LiveTheater #LGQBT #SFBA . . .

    I saw a performance of #LaCage at the #TheaterRhinocerous in #TheCastro yesterday.

    It was my 1st time visiting this "theater" which is incredibly small My guest & I sat in the 1st row of 2 & the performers were in our faces.

    it was a very entertaining performance but unfortunately the run is already sold out. If you can find them, you can stream LaCage &/or #Birdcage or watch their DVDs instead.

    Watched #PhantomOfTheOpera for the 3rd time in my life at the #OrpheumTheater in SF this past Friday.

    The costumes, sets & audio were better than prior performances that I've seen.

    It's still corny & over the top but I still like it. The voices of the leads are spectacular.

    Don't know if it's sold out yet or not but it's till playing til 6/21.

  11. Why You Need to See ‘A Delicate Balance’ at the Walnut Street Theatre

    If you’ve been following the Walnut Street Theatre’s 217th season, you know they’ve been on a roll. But their latest production—Edward Albee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning A Delicate Balance—is something truly special.

    Stepping into the theater for this performance, I couldn’t help but be transported back to the Walnut’s production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? from a couple of years ago. Much like that unforgettable show, this production captures Albee’s unique ability to peel back the layers of polite society to reveal the raw, messy humanity underneath. Under the seasoned direction of Bernard Havard, the Walnut has once again proved why it is the definitive home for American classics in Philadelphia.

    Sharp Writing and a Tension You Can Feel

    The writing in A Delicate Balance is, in a word, superb. It is strong, smart, and incredibly funny, often catching you off guard with a witty barb right before a moment of devastating psychological insight.

    The story follows Agnes and Tobias, an upper-middle-class couple whose lives are upended when their long-time friends, Harry and Edna, arrive at their door. They aren’t fleeing a fire or a scandal; they are fleeing an “unnamed terror.” It’s a fascinating premise that asks: What do we owe our friends, and how much of our own peace are we willing to sacrifice for them?

    Superb Acting

    The cast of Walnut favorites absolutely shines here.

    • Alicia Roper is commanding as Agnes, the matriarch, trying to hold the family’s “balance” together.
    • Paul L. Nolan brings a heartbreaking nuance to Tobias.
    • Grace Gonglewski nearly steals the show as the alcoholic sister, Claire; her performance is razor-sharp and provides much of the evening’s dark humor.

    The chemistry between the entire ensemble—including Wendy Scharfman, Peter Schmitz, and Alanna J. Smith—is electric. You truly believe these people have decades of shared history, secrets, and resentments.

    Stunning Visuals: Set and Lighting

    I have to give a massive shout-out to the creative team. The set design by Roman Tatarowicz is incredibly well done, perfectly capturing a lush, 1960s suburban living room that feels both comfortable and claustrophobic.

    However, it was Ryan O’Gara’s lighting design that truly blew me away. The way the lighting shifts to mirror the escalating tension and the “unnamed fear” gripping the characters is subtle yet profoundly effective. It elevates the entire production from a domestic drama to something hauntingly atmospheric.

    Final Verdict

    If you love theater that makes you think, laugh, and perhaps squirm just a little bit in your seat, A Delicate Balance is a must-watch. It’s a powerful look at the fragile structures of our lives and the fears we all try to keep at bay.

    A Delicate Balance runs through March 29, 2026, at the Walnut Street Theatre. Don’t wait on this one—it’s the kind of production people will be talking about for the rest of the season.

  13. Two more days until the reading of this play. I don't want to say it's my favorite piece I've ever written, but it's my favorite of all my plays that are getting staged readings this week. Plus I get to work with Sean Sassaman, who has assembled a killer cast, and the lovely folks at RTP. If you're in the Reading area on Thursday night, I hope you can come see this staged reading.
