Moby's metaphor, Seeking the truth, Mixed Magic's When Fate Comes Knocking, More 
- Moby's metaphor
Whether a reader of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick skims through that chapter on cytology or is faithful to every word of the novel, he or she can never forget Captain Ahab’s search for the Great White Whale.
- Seeking the truth
It’s from the perspective of a man, but The Well of Woman makes a brave attempt at honoring and, to some extent, understanding what women go through, especially if they are African-American.
- Mixed Magic's When Fate Comes Knocking
It's been said before and it'll be said again: the election of Barack Obama casts a new light on the Civil Rights Movement. Or, in Ricardo Pitts-Wiley's words, "We get to tell the story in a different way."
- Mixed and mismatched
Oh those Elizabethans, those cutups, those bawdy scamps. If we had only William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors to go by, we'd wonder how the Brits ever built an empire between all the misidentifications and panicked confusions.
- Being Bessie
Waiting for Bessie Smith, written and directed by Ricardo Pitts-Wiley, is a generous as well as enjoyable performance.
- A rewarding ride
Comfortable lives aren’t the usual stuff of theater.
- Sweet inspiration
For more than three decades, until her death in 1972, Mahalia Jackson’s powerful contralto voice raised the spirits of even nonbelievers through her inspiring gospel singing. In an original production, Mixed Magic Theatre is reminding us about her legacy in the premiere of When Mahalia Sings .
- A living history
Since Anna Deavere Smith's Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 is set in a specific place and time, some theatergoers will want to relegate its incidents and attitudes — which surround the Rodney King riots — to history.
- So-so Shakespeare
If Shakespeare had written no tragedies or histories of note, his comedies would still delight us 400 years later because of their timeless wordplay, exuberant sense of fun, and still-valid psychological underpinnings.
- Tyrants’ tales
According to legend, Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
- Daddy issues
Watching a production of any classic almost always opens your eyes or your ears to something you hadn’t noticed before.
