Review: EUREKA DAY at City Stage

Review: EUREKA DAY at City Stage

by Alan Portner · September 15, 2026

It had taken me a day or two to absorb Jonathan Spector’s Eureka Day both well-acted and well-produced by Kansas City Actor’s Theatre in the City Theatre space of Union Station.  Cleverly cloaked in comedy, this 2025 Tony Award Winner strikes a deeply held cultural belief from playwright Jonath…

Review: DISNEY'S NEWSIES at Starlight Theater

Review: DISNEY'S NEWSIES at Starlight Theater

by Alan Portner · September 9, 2026

Disney’s Newsies does not merely seize the day. It dances on it, vaults over it and occasionally executes a backflip before the day knows what struck it. It takes an 1899 historical event as a jumping off place and imagines the history as it might have been retold in a 1930’s Busby Berkeley movi…

Review: KC Rep's COME FROM AWAY at Spencer Theatre

Review: THE SHARK IS BROKEN at The Warwick Theatre

Review: THE SHARK IS BROKEN at The Warwick Theatre

by Alan Portner · August 17, 2026

“The Shark Is Broken” is a fascinating invite into a hidden world that informs us how the sausage gets made when it comes to mega-hit films. This play snickers as three famous actors suffer “slings and arrows” while Bruce, a damned mechanical shark, turns turtle repeatedly during filming “…

Review: WICKED at Kansas City Music Hall

Review: WICKED at Kansas City Music Hall

by Alan Portner · August 17, 2026

Review: INTIMATE APPAREL at Kansas City Actors' Theatre

Review: INTIMATE APPAREL at Kansas City Actors' Theatre

by Alan Portner · August 9, 2026

The year is 1905.  The place is New York City. The play is Lynn Nottage’s intimate and surprisingly affective comedy/drama “Intimate Apparel.” “Intimate Apparel” tells a tale drawn from Nottage’s own passed down ancestry stories and perhaps a little imagined history.  The inspiration i…
