Review for TheatreWorks, Palo Alto, CA, USA
This professional theatre company, with a history of 40 years in the San Francisco Bay Area, has a terrific season of 8 mainstage plays, plus a very active New Works program. Every mainstage production is beautifully produced, with professional talent and wonderful sets and costumes. The New Works Festival includes staged readings of 4-6 plays and musicals. The audience watches, and then has a chance to send comments and criticism to the playwrights directly, to help them improve the piece. It's an engaging and entertaining process. Often plays from the New Works Festival end up on the mainstage in future seasons. The current Tony-award-winning hit, "Memphis", was developed at TheatreWorks in this very sequence.
