Critics Say
The Balusters

Lindsay-Abaire's sharp HOA satire earns widespread praise for its stellar ensemble and biting comedy, though some find the premise familiar and emotional beats underdeveloped. Critics hail it as the season's funniest new play.

Stereophonic

Critics hail Adjmi's three-hour studio drama as a masterful, immersive triumph that captures the messy creative process with stunning authenticity. The hyperrealistic production, original songs, and design dazzle, though the lengthy runtime tests some.
