Artists Rep is ending its short season on the highest of high notes with the world premiere of THE STORYTELLER, by local playwright Sara Jean Accuardi. This gorgeous play, which won the 2023 Oregon Book Award for drama, delves into the profound ways stories shape our understanding of the world – healing us, guiding us, and sometimes imprisoning us. The play was inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

Before every show at Broadway Rose, someone comes out to thank the sponsors and, for well-known musicals like this one, remind the audience not to sing along. I have never found repressing that urge as difficult as I did for GREASE. This production’s energy is infectious, thanks to an excellent cast, featuring many actors making their Broadway Rose debut. GREASE follows the romance between high schoolers Danny Zuko (a greaser) and Sandy Dumbrowski (the wholesome new girl).
