There is something special about this time of year.
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Kentucky.
There is something special about this time of year.
The Derby Dinner Playhouse certainly knows what their audience wants, and as a result, we get another in the long line of Southern-fried comedies from what seems to be their go-to playwriting team, the trio known collectively as Jones Hope Wooten.
Unless you have lived under a rock or somehow managed to stay asleep since 2016, there is a lot of anger in the air, and rightfully so.
Yonkers and Harmonia Gardens swept into town on Tuesday evening to a packed Whitney Hall.
Is Henry V the most accessible of William Shakespeare's History plays? There is a good argument for Richard III, but whatever the political underpinnings of any individual production, King Henry is heroic but complex; the man we want to be.
It was not too long ago that Commonwealth Theatre Center completed the Shakespeare canon of plays.
That the 1969 riots at the center of Ike Holter's play are identified as 'Stonewall' is a neat metaphorical turn of phrase, even if it is happenstance.
I remember studying the Scottish play during my junior year in high school.
Hello, Dolly! is a true american classic, and is treated by some as the perfect musical comedy.
Way back in those days of yesteryear, the early 1990's, Jeffrey Katzenberg was celebrating his success.
This sweeping musical from the creators of Les Miserable is blazing a trail across the country.
Some Kinda There are iconic musicals that always seem to pop on some local company's schedule on a regular basis, but what of the lesser known shows that don't enjoy quite the same level of success?
From the title and social media promotions, I had expected Sheila Callaghan's play to maybe be a light-hearted feminist comedy.
Americans talk about racial and cultural identity as if walking on eggshells.
A wonderful score in an early work by Pasek and Paul takes center stage in DOGFIGHT.
Everybody Black is a play.
The best collaboration happens organically, perhaps an arguable point, but this production of Just Like Us, co-produced by Looking for Lilith and Teatro Tercera Llamada seems such a natural pairing, less an innovation than the appropriate result of relationships built over time.
There is nothing more infuriating than attempting several times to solve the same problem over and over again.
A fresh new addition to the jukebox musical genre gets so much needed flare with ON YOUR FEET.
As soon as I saw Lucas Hnath's name on the docket for this current season's Humana Festival, I knew immediately which show I most wanted to see.
The idea of two companies in one community doing the same show within a few months of each other poses many questions.
Could I BE anymore in love with this show?
HELLO! The Book of Mormon is in Louisville for the third time since the production started touring.
A young man is raised with the expectation that he will follow in his father's footsteps, working in the trade and carrying on an important tradition, but instead, he wants to follow his own path and become an artist.
