House of Life is a work of theatre created by Sheep Soup that is, according to its description, “one-part sermon, one-part purge, three-parts party,” or, in simpler terms, a “travelling musical cult.” Walking into the Soho Theatre Upstairs, you are greeted by a bright and glittery backdrop, as well as a table full of instruments and mixing equipment, the perfect setting for a rave. A man dressed in a suit is handing out bracelets and he then takes to the stage, beginning the show with some instrumentals as the RaveRend takes the stage.

Fringe plays tend to be edgy, experimental, personal, and always of their moment; DEATHTRAP, a sturdy two-acter about a playwright whose idea for a murder mystery becomes reality, is safe, comfortable. Fringe is hot sauce; DEATHTRAP is a fine mayonnaise.

Throughline Theatre will begin their 2024 season with Sam Shepard’s Buried Child, directed by company member Katy Chmurra. The setting is a squalid farm home occupied by a family filled with suppressed violence and an unease born of deep-seated unhappiness.
