This history gives context to the legacies of theatrical dynasties—considered to consist of at least three subsequent generations of theatre creators. In 2026, there is a stigma around any successful professional who follows a parent into their line of work, with this being seen as a pattern of nepotism.

“The Tale of the Allergist's Wife” by Charles Busch, is on stage at Sarasota Jewish Theatre from March 4 to 15. Check out photos of the production below.

Last week Hell’s Kitchen, located at the Shubert Theatre, announced that they would close on February 22. Aside from the unfortunate news that is for all who work on the show, it stands to wonder what might take that theatre in the next couple of months, and could that happen before the Tony Awards deadline? Furthermore, why is the Shubert Theatre in particular considered so desirable?

While the musical version of Death Becomes Her plays on at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, Drew Barrymore is cooking up some ideas for the beloved title to return to the screen. On a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, she revealed that she'd love to remake the classic 1992 film alongside Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.

It’s so satisfying to see a musical that resonates emotionally with an audience, and Waitress is one of those musicals. From the writing to the performance, the entire audience was held rapt for the entire 2 1/2 hours, staying right with the performers as they traversed this well told story. There were gasps, applause, and exclamations of support, and a well deserved standing ovation at the end of it all. MTWichita told this story exceedingly well.

On a recent edition of CBS Sunday Morning, the show devoted a segment to the most famous playwright of all time: William Shakespeare. The segment explored why his four-hundred-year-old plays continue to remain so popular, interviewing Broadway performer Patrick Page. Watch it now.

It’s no secret that the right ingredients, and a touch of heart, make the best pies. WAITRESS at the John W. Engeman Theatre in Northport is a very strong representation of this notion.
