Review: UNCLE VANYA at Kansas City Actors Theatre
by Alan Portner - Aug 14, 2025
The opening night performance of Kansas City Actors’ Theatre production of Antov Checkov’s UNCLE VANYA ended with an enthusiastic standing ovation on City Stage in the lower level of Union Station. UNCLE VANYA as performed is a modern translation of Anton Checkov’s 1899 classic musing on family and relationships. Some audiences see the show as comic. Others see it as tragic. This production is solid based on its reception and an excellent cast.

Review: DIAL M FOR MURDER at City Stage At Union Station
by Alan Portner - Sep 17, 2024
It is a quest to commit the perfect murder, and it almost works. “Dial M For Murder” is the twisted story of a failed novelist who has married an heiress and has decided to do her in to inherit her millions.

Review: TROUBLE IN MIND at Kansas City Actors Theatre
by Alan Portner - Aug 14, 2024
It is funny. It is a slice of life. It is a literal peek behind the curtain. Kansas City Actors Theatre production of Alice Childress’s TROUBLE IN MIND allows audiences a long-delayed opportunity to vision America (and its theatrical community) as it appeared in 1955 from an African American point of view. I was struck by how much our country has matured (mostly for the better) over eighty years.

Review: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY at Kansas City Actors Theatre
by Alan Portner - May 26, 2024
The Lehman Trilogy studies American Dream Mythology as seen through the eyes of Italian playwright and poet Stefano Massini. The English translation by Ben Power transfigures itself into an absorbing and poignant exercise in stellar storytelling as one might imagine it by three brothers around a metaphorical campfire.

Review: GASLIGHT at Union Station
by Alan Portner - Jan 20, 2024
They say you never forget your first. That was certainly the situation for a former Scotland Yard Police Inspector named Rough (played by John Rensenhouse). Oddly, Inspector Rough had no known first name. Rough’s first bloody murder case in 1865 remained unsolved fifteen years after the event.

Review: GRAND HORIZONS at Kansas City Actors Theatre
by Alan Portner - Aug 20, 2023
“Grand Horizons” is the tongue-in–cheek moniker given the senior development to which the fifty-year, mostly amicable marriage of Bill and Nancy French has recently been downsized. “Buckle your seat belts… it is going to be a bumpy (and funny) ride.”
