An excellent production of an strong play by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
What did our critic think of MAJESTY AND GLORY WITH RIVER CITY MEN'S CHORUS at St. James UMC In Little Rock?
What occurs when your family name has more importance than you do? This question sits at the center of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' play Purpose, currently being performed at The Ensemble Theatre, and the answer is messy, hilarious, uncomfortable, and profoundly human. Because of the direction by Eileen J. Morris and a highly committed six-member cast, Purpose turns into more than just a play concerning one particular family; it makes a sharp study of legacy, identity, politics, faith, family expectations and the at times painful journey of working out who you are when all the other people have already told you who you should be.
Penfold Theatre’s CLUE is a murderously funny evening of mystery, mayhem, and impeccably timed comedy. A terrific ensemble, clever staging, inventive design, and hilarious physical comedy make Boddy Manor an awfully fun place to visit.
'Good Night, Oscar' is full of comedy, music, celebrity, addiction, mental illness, ambition, and the uncomfortable bargain between an artist and an audience that wants to consume his genius. This production at North Coast Repertory Theatre handles it all with impressive performances and empathy.
What did our critic think of HEART'S ANN WILSON WITH TRIPSITTER at Reynolds Performance Hall?
The newly opened modern Mexican social tequilera, Casa Felix in the heart of the Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan brings an exciting element to the area’s dining scene
Play On! is a lively retelling of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Conceived by Sheldon Epps (who also directs) and with a book by Cheryl L. West, Play On! transports Shakespeare’s story to Harlem, New York. West’s book skillfully weaves Duke Ellington’s songs into the narrative.
The psychadelic musical HAIR that put rock music onto the Broadway stage in 1968 may feel dated to some but that time capsule will always be fully recognizable. With such musical hits as “Let the Sun Shine In ” and “Aquarius,” the musical that shows hippies burning their green cards in New York’s Central Park in protest of the Vietnam War has found it’s was to the Shea’s 710 stage in a spectacular hippie-dippie production presented by Musicalfare
What did our critic think of THE SMUGGLER at The Gamm Theatre?
Karen Zacarías brings telenovela excess to the stage in a comedy of switched babies, impossible coincidences and enormous emotions.
Emotions are running deep at Theatre Latté Da as they opening their 2026-2027 season with a passionate and moving production of Paula Vogel’s Indecent.
What did our critic think of INS CHOI'S SON OF A PREACHERMAN at the National Arts Centre?
Sometimes you get a perfect storm of circumstances that turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. Whether by design or by luck, the Sherman Players have taken advantage of this perfect storm with their production of 'Inherit the Wind'.
A musical full of mischief, fun and warmth in the true spirit of the beloved Emil.
GREASE at the Tuacahn Amphitheatre is a chipper throwback to a simpler time. Sit up front and enjoy the fizzy good time of days gone by!
Henry never expected his first girlfriend, Liz, to turn up at his flat. Especially not as a sex robot.
Canadian Opera Company’s season opener La Traviata pulls out all the stops and sets an extremely high bar for the rest of its 26-27 offerings. My companion has been coming to the opera with me for many years, and she was blown away, proclaiming this as one of her all-time faves. “A triumph,” she said, and I couldn’t agree more.
Joffrey Ballet soars in John Neumeier's LILIOM
Dear Readers, I don’t mean to make anyone feel ancient but “A Chorus Line” is 51 years old! And the 5th Avenue Theatre dusting off the old girl for their current remount may feel like a bit of nostalgia. But if their spectacular production proves anything, it’s that “A Chorus Line” is still the masterpiece it always was.
