If we all come together and fight against these people in power, if we demand change in the industry, we can make theatre a better place for future generations, for everyone who's ever dreamt of being on Broadway. Because we shouldn't have to compromise our art for our morals.

There is nothing like Celtic music to bring a lift to the step and a smile to the heart, and SONGS OF IRELAND, a new benefit concert streaming on the Fulton Theatre’s virtual platform, Fulton HD, delivers an hour of irresistible tunes performed with impeccable style, charm, and emotional depth by a stellar ensemble, who have a strong bond with Maine theatre. Directed and choreographed by Marc Robin, this beautifully crafted musical revue brings together Curt Dale Clark, Charis Leos, David Girolmo, Cary Michele Miller, Jay Poff, and Gillian Hassert, all of whom are favorites at Maine State Music and most veterans of either the 2016 THE IRISH AND HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY co-production with Portland Stage or Robin’s restaging at the Fulton Theatre in 2018.

Open Stage presents a TikTok-driven version of Everyman. It’s a morality play for our social media world, performed using TikTok, Messenger, and other social media platforms. What would your “Wreckoning” with Death look like?

In the last two months of 2020, Kat released remixes to their track “Supernova,” one with popular alt/rock act PVRIS, and one an acoustic version, after releasing a show-stopping holiday classic “O’Holy Night.” 

The play was originally written in the late 15th century by an unknown author.  In the course of the original story, the character of “Everyman” (who represents all mankind) is summoned by Death to stand before God to recount his life in a final reckoning. 

Sometimes, one of the hardest things we can do take the time to reflect. Taking that time to reminisce can sometimes lead to a fresh perspective for us. A few nights ago, one of my theatre friends Mariah Kerns took the time to reflect on the last year. She shared on Facebook, regarding her and her husband, 'The last 'normal' thing we did before voluntarily going into quarantine on March 15, 2020, was see a live show. Last night, nearly a year later, we went to see another.' The show she referred to was Des Moines Playhouse's preview of 'Leaving Iowa,' which I streamed on opening night, February 19. Since this viewing, the show's performances have been suspended for two weeks due to Covid 19.

On Sunday, March 7th, Musical Theatre Factory presents a one-night-only event starring musical theatre writing team, Melissa Li and Kit Yan.

The Des Moines Playhouse follows its successful fall and holiday performances with two shows this winter, Leaving Iowa, Feb. 19-Mar. 21, 2021, and, for families, Stuart Little, Feb. 26-Mar. 14, 2021.

Rising star Hannah Anders’ album “Evolution” is available on all digital download and streaming platforms now.

Andrew Barth Feldman's Broadway Whodunit returns for the sixth installment titled 'The Sixth Mystery: A Theme Park Whodunit.'
