Review: THE FIRST GENTLEMAN World Premiere Musical at Torrance Theatre Company

Review: THE FIRST GENTLEMAN World Premiere Musical at Torrance Theatre Company

by Shari Barrett · June 22, 2026

Director Glenn Kelman is to be commended for taking on the challenge of coordinating twenty cast members moving scenery and set pieces into place to create 22 set changes in 14 locations on such a small stage, as well as setting the timing of each Ameri-News video projection to forward the story.

Review: ROMEO AND JULIET at Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum

Review: ROMEO AND JULIET at Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum

by Evan Henerson · June 21, 2026

Casting high school aged teen-agers can be a trickier needle to thread than one might think. Two actors who are still in high school wrestling down the spectrum of emotions, growth journeys and heartbreak of Shakespeare’s tale is no small achievement. Asher Hagler and Quinnlyn Scheppner make thei…

I'll say this now: this Summer's most beguiling, most enchanting theatrical surprise is perhaps the brand new, gorgeously opulent regional production of ANASTASIA - THE MUSICAL, now on stage at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts through June 20, 2026. A visual stunner punctuated by remark…

Review: OC's Segerstrom Center Welcomes New Tour of THE SOUND OF MUSIC

by Michael Quintos · June 8, 2026

You may ask yourself—is seeing a touring stage production of the globally and generationally ubiquitous 1959 musical THE SOUND OF MUSIC still worth experiencing live on stage in 2026?
