A future without humanity in 'Honey Bee Baby' at Rapid Lemon Productions

Jan 5, 2025 | dctheaterarts.org | Constance Beulah

Humans without humanity is like fried chicken without seasoning, a complete waste. Is she a robot? No. She is what is considered an example of the quintessential human. Emotionless, Caucasian, no diseases, no mental health issues, longer life span. An engineered test tube baby. She is perfect. In a world low on resources, humans are now dedicated to fixing the colossal mess left to them by their forefathers. But now there is a different issue. The increasing lack of humanity in humans.

Dec 8, 2024 | dctheaterarts.org | Constance Beulah

Oh, the beauty of Soldier Island. The extravagance. The quiet. The solitude. The murder. That’s right, how else should you spend your quick trip to an isolated island than trying to escape the hands of a murderer? Currently onstage at Everyman Theatre is And Then There Were None, written by infamous playwright Agatha Christie and directed by Noah Himmelstein. Its classic intrigue, plot twists, snippy comments, and traditional English accents will keep you at attention.
Happenstance Theater's 'Cabaret Noir' delights at Baltimore Theatre Project

Nov 3, 2024 | dctheaterarts.org | Constance Beulah

“Why didn’t you tell me about the other guy?”“But, Johnny, you’re the other guy!”Cabaret Noir, produced by Happenstance Theater, a resident company of Baltimore Theatre Project, is a glimpse of vintage film noir from the 1930s. Complete with intrigue, dark, smoky, rooms, and a harmonica playing underneath a single streetlight. A delightful, pun-filled play that added a little smile to an evening out in Baltimore. The setting is ambiguous in its setting.
Hope and courage in 'Queens Girl: Black in the Green Mountains' at Everyman

Oct 27, 2024 | dctheaterarts.org | Constance Beulah

“Wherever you are, you belong.” The line reverberates through the space in my mind. How powerful, how demanding such a statement is. Queens Girl: Black in the Green Mountains is the final part of a trilogy written by Caleen Sinnette Jennings and now proudly gracing the stage of Everyman Theatre. This prodigious play is a work of artistry that continually challenges the notion of belonging as a Black girl in America. A young Black woman arrives in the year 1968 at Bennington College in Vermont.
A thoroughly enjoyable 'Pride & Prejudice' at Baltimore Center Stage

Oct 21, 2024 | dctheaterarts.org | Constance Beulah

Pride & Prejudice by playwright Kate Hamill, adapted from Jane Austen’s infamous novel, is the original Bridgerton. Cue the drama, the music, the laughs, the wit! A brilliant production by theater house Baltimore Center Stage in association with the Arkansas Repertory Theatre, this often lighthearted and updated classic was a delight for both Regency enthusiasts and those who aren’t quite sure what the Regency era is.

Sep 9, 2024 | dctheaterarts.org | Constance Beulah |Selina Fillinger

From the first word — the C-word — you know this is a production that is going to “go there” in the most hilarious way possible. And it does not disappoint. Everyman Theatre is truly doing its part for the political season with this piece of comedic satire.

Campy comedy in 'Clue' on tour at the Hippodrome in Baltimore

May 9, 2024 | dctheaterarts.org | Constance Beulah

This show at the Hippodrome — based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn and written by Sandy Rustin — brings to life one of my favorite games I played as a child, the board game Clue. The game itself is British, but this play and all its comedic wit are all American. The premise of this production is that several suspicious characters come together for an auspicious dinner party where they find themselves surrounded by secrets, intrigue, and of course the occasional murder.
A dreamy good 'Mamma Mia!' on tour at the Hippodrome in Baltimore

Apr 18, 2024 | dctheaterarts.org | Constance Beulah

Is this real? The lights, the music, the voices, and the set were so unbelievably well done, I just knew I had to be dreaming it all. Brava to Director Phyllida Lloyd for a wonderfully directed cult-classic musical. I knew I was going to enjoy Mamma Mia! regardless, but this show at the Hippodrome Theatre went beyond all my expectations. I enjoyed it so much that I may return to see it again during its run here in Baltimore.
August Wilson's 'Gem of the Ocean' resonates deeply at Arena Players

Apr 13, 2024 | dctheaterarts.org | Constance Beulah

Just live. An astounding statement that resonated deeply for me. So often we get so lost in the forest of life we forget to do that one little thing. To live. To truly live. This brilliant play by August Wilson, Gem of the Ocean at Arena Players Inc., takes place in a humble kitchen and parlor in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1904. Though the ninth play Wilson wrote in a series of ten (his American Century Cycle), it is the first representing the decade of the 1900s.
