"Great writing has the power to move us. It can cause us to think about important topics in novel ways," writes Sentinel theater critic Jake Thomas. "The best writing even reaches our emotional core and we deeply feel the consequences of our mistakes and our fates. Kate Hawley’s most recent play 'Under Ben Bulben' over-delivers on the promise of live theater."
"The Jewel Theater once again brings a classic play to life with a gorgeous set, brilliant costumes, smart directing and powerful acting," writes Jake Thomas in his review of "The Lion in Winter" by the Jewel Theater. "During our coldest month of the year, this production crackles, glows and offers its audience a warming experience of live theater."
"If you’re looking for an entertaining respite from the chaotic and tragic news cycle, then a night at the theater might be just the thing. Jeffrey Scharf’s play “Who’s Got Me?” directed by Julie James is an engaging and romantic romp full of wonderful songs and enchanting dance numbers," writes theater critic Jake Thomas.
The first showing in the Jewel Theatre Company’s final year is an impeccable rendition of Tom Stoppard’s "Rough Crossing." It features brilliant acting, wonderful directing and choreography, and gorgeous set and lighting design.
