Review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY at Ahmanson Theatre
by Harker Jones - Nov 18, 2025
Chris Fisher’s illusions are the ace in the hole for this production. It’s astonishing what can be done live on stage these days, but the effects in PARANORMAL ACTIVITY will blow your mind.

Review: THE HUNGER GAMES: ON STAGE, Canary Wharf Troubadour Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Nov 13, 2025
Housed in a purpose-built venue in Canary Wharf, it’s a behemoth. Adapting it for the stage was always going to be a Herculean task, not only when it comes to pleasing a very passionate fandom, but when we consider the scale and magnitude of the story too. Written by Conor McPherson and directed by Matthew Dunster, it’s an unquestionably impressive achievement with great technical value. The actors are tireless athletes, the theatre is an imposing arena, and the stagecraft is often remarkable. Unfortunately, it’s also a soulless incarnation.

Review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY at Chicago Shakespeare Theater
by Rachel Weinberg - Oct 17, 2025
This new PARANORMAL ACTIVITY play (based on Paramount Pictures’ PARANORMAL ACTIVITY horror films) has terrific stage effects and absolutely creeped me out. Based on the merits of the script alone, there’s not much to recommend in the material. But it leaves plenty of room for creepy effects and terrifying stage surprises — and the inventive and frightful production is definitely the selling point!
