From its first moments —when Ken Kesey leaps out of the audience onto a stage patterned with light, sporting a fraying straw hat, the poetry of e.e. cummings still lingering in his mouth —Annika Bennett ’15’s new play “Eyes Up High In the Redwood Tree” reveals its intention to tell two stories at once: one personal, the other generational.

We’ve all met our fair share of legendary divas, but the characters in Douglas Carter Beane’s The Little Dog Laughed make Miranda Priestly look like a strawberry shortcake. Beane possesses a particular linguistic talent that he shares with satirists like Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw: the gift for making spoiled, greedy people seem compelling —not because of how they spend their money or with whom they sleep, but because of how they talk.

Some plays are foolproof.“Romeo and Juliet”isn't one of them — in fact, the hazards are numerous. And unfortunately, the current iteration produced jointly on campus by Theatre Intime and Princeton Shakespeare Company falls into many of them.A little aimless blocking, poor chemistry, lack of energy in key players, some hollow dialogue — and one of Shakespeare's best known and most popular plays may keep you only mildly engaged.

When an artist confronts his materials, a battle must be waged. The painter’s bare canvas, the poet’s blank page, the empty stage that awaits the actor, the immobile dancers waiting for the choreographer to give them motion — every piece of art begins with a terrifying void that dares you to fill it. And every move you make to do so sets up new conflicts; the terror never goes away.

Director Adin Walker’s ’16 troupe of performers is only the latest of many tenants to spend time in “Rent,” the 1996 musical and worldwide sensation that tells the story of a ragtag bunch of artists living la vie bohème in New York’s East Village.

In Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons,” an American businessman and father struggles with prioritizing large-scale morality over the narrow goal of making money for his immediate family. On Princeton’s campus, Theatre Intime is currently tackling this challenging piece of theater. This production continues into next weekend (Nov. 14-16) and is under the direction of Oge Ude '16. “All My Sons” centers on Joe Keller (Jordan Adelson ’14), a businessman whose factory was responsible for shipping defective airplane parts overseas, leading to the deaths of American pilots during World War II. Throughout the play, Joe Keller and his family must grapple with questions of practicality and morality. “All My Sons”tells the story of the crumbling of the small-town American dream. And although any production of “All My Sons” includes a certain apprehensiveness, evident from the beginning, the play’s power lies in that which begins as cheerful and idyllic turned dark and sour.
