Theater Review: MONSTERS OF THE AMERICAN CINEMA (Rogue Machine at the Matrix Theatre
A MONSTER MASH Like most boomers, I was raised watching black-and-white horror movies.

Off-Broadway Review: GRENFELL: IN THE WORDS OF SURVIVORS (National Theatre at St. Ann’s Warehouse)
THE FLAMES OF INJUSTICE Documentary theatre, a.k.a. docudrama, uses existing nonfiction sources to create works of performance that reenact historical events.
