You might not know it from the temperatures this week, but we’re nearing the official start of autumn.

And fall brings not just school and an extra hour of sleep—it also brings the start of a new theater season.

Thankfully, Eight Forty-Eight‘s Dueling Critics Kelly Kleiman and Jonathan Abarbanel never miss an opportunity to bring us a little more drama.
