Feature: REFLECTIONS ON RUSSIA: GMU CAST MEMBERS ON AN EPIC COLLEGE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE
by Elliot Lanes - November 26, 2025
Every once in awhile you go to see a show not knowing what the final product is going to be. The epic musical Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 was one of those musicals that was very specific to its original staging because of it’s tent location. It was totally immersive. When the show moved to Broadway, it didn’t have the same effect.

Review: DRUNK CHRISTMAS CAROL at Drunk Shakespeare
by Brett Cullum - November 26, 2025
So, this DRUNK CHRISTMAS CAROL is completely irrelevant... err... irreverent, but refreshing. You know the story, and if you don’t, you haven’t been watching television or at the Alley for two decades or more.

Review: DOUGHNUT DRIVE, Drayton Arms Theatre
by Niamh Jones - November 26, 2025
What do grief, crime films and doughnuts have in common? Upon first glance very little; however, in Finella Waddilove’s Doughnut Drive they are thrown together in the most unlikely way to create an undeniably hilarious, if dark, comedy.

by Kat Mokrynski - November 26, 2025
After nearly a decade, the hit Netflix television series, Stranger Things, will be coming to a close with Season Five. But fear not, fans - there is still the stage version, Stranger Things: The First Shadow, running in the West End. The play is a prequel to the events on screen, showing some of the older characters in high school and exploring the origins of the show’s main villain, Vecna. Recently, we had the chance to speak with Jack Christou, who plays the role of Henry Creel. We discussed what it is like to be part of the stage adaptation of such a popular television series, how he prepared for the role and even what he hopes audiences take away from the show as a whole.

by Theresa Bertram - November 26, 2025
Morrilton High School’s Thespian Troupe 3131 presented a touching production of John Cariani’s Almost, Maine November 13–16, an event made even more magical by a rare natural coincidence. As these students took the stage beneath the play’s iconic Northern Lights, the real auroras were unexpectedly visible across Arkansas, an extraordinary sight this far south.

Review: AND JULIET at Orpheum Theatre Memphis
by AniKatrina Fageol - November 26, 2025
'For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.' It's a classic tale, one that has been told hundreds of thousands of times and one that theatre kids everywhere know well. But you likely have not seen Romeo and Juliet quite like this. The costumes are vibrant, the choreography is exhilirating, the voices are powerful, and the story... there is quite the twist in the story.

by Aliya Al-Hassan - November 26, 2025
For many, Christmas cannot begin until The Old Vic is staging Jack Thorne's A Christmas Carol. This year's iteration shows yet again why it is a festive must-see. Brimming with emotion, but never tipping into mawkishness, it will make you laugh, cry and gasp with child-like wonder, no matter what your age. What more could you want from a Christmas show?

Review: DAVID COPPERFIELD, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Clementine Scott - November 26, 2025
This David Copperfield is far more than a cheap facsimile of its source material. There is room here for all the observational humour of Dickens’ writing, but also for all the pains and lessons of growing up.
