Review: SCARAMOUCHE at City Lit Theater

Review: OCTET at Raven Theatre


by Rachel Weinberg - May 08, 2026

Though it’s a musical about a support group for internet addicts, Dave Molloy’s Octet is delightfully analog. And that’s precisely the point — Molloy’s musical invites audiences to look away from their screens and lean into this intimate, inventive, and fully a cappella show. Molloy (perha...

Review: WINDFALL at Steppenwolf Theatre Company


by Rachel Weinberg - April 20, 2026

Tarrell Alvin McCraney’s world-premiere play WINDFALL is part somber, part whimsy — which is true to his unique playwriting style. It’s a poignantly topical play, yet sometimes too on the nose. I enjoyed how McCraney blends the hyperreal and the surreal in a play that asks the question: Should...
