Review: OUR TOWN at Hale Centre Theatre is a Quiet Little Miracle

Utah: Tyler Hinton • July 13, 2026

OUR TOWN on Hale Centre Theatre’s new Miller Family Beehive Stage has a gentle dignity that tugs at your attention and your heart strings, keeping you intensely interested in the everyday lives of ordinary people and immensely invested in their happiness.

Review: THE EMPLOYEE DHARMA HANDBOOK at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley

San Francisco / Bay Area: Steve Murray • July 13, 2026

There’s an HR nightmare threatening a critical launch and successful IPO at a Silicon Valley aerospace company. An accusation of gender discrimination fuels the World Premiere of Geetha Reddy’s smart and funny The Employee Dharma Handbook marking the kickoff of TheatreWorks 56th season.

Review: CURTAINS & CADENZAS at 54 Below

Cabaret: Rob Lester • July 13, 2026

Old showtunes prove there's life in old-school show tunes when the Pocket Change Combo combines forces with young singers. Terrific Tyler J. Landusky led the combo platter of jazz and Broadway in CURTAINS & CADENZAS at 54 Below.

Review: A.J. CHRIS COMEDY at Clint's Comedy Club

Kansas City: Alan Portner • July 13, 2026

The show I saw last week on Wednesday, July 8, featured three warm-up acts and Ayrn performing under the stage name A.J. Chris. A.J. Chris was the feature comic of the evening. A.J., who has already had significant success in the UK, had warned me that she had come home to try out a new routine in development to see how a U.S. audience would respond to her acquired U.K. sensitivity might play to a Kansas audience. A.J. I was impressed with A.J.’s fearlessness, her body control, and her facial expressiveness. She is a funny young lady with the looks that could easily help her catch on. .

Review: EMILY SKINNER AT CV REPERTORY at CV Repertory

Palm Springs: June August • July 13, 2026

Emily Skinner's versatility and sense of humor was in full bloom for a full house at the CV Rep Summer Cabaet Series on Thursday, July 9. With a host of award nominations in her resume, Emily gave a commanding performance that took us from Chicago to Avenue Q, Rodgers and Hart to Sondheim --right, no one can resist including Sondheim--to Nick Jonas and collaborators for a song that was new to me, 'Bacon.'

Review: WE ARE THE TIGER at Manukau Performing Arts

New Zealand: Glenda Pearce • July 13, 2026

‘We are the Tigers’ is a pop-rock musical with hints of more mainstream favourites such as ‘Heathers’ and ‘Mean Girls’. The all-female cast (bar one) delivers the witty script with a natural cadence that allows the audience to follow the fast-paced story and multiple comedic lines with ease.

Review: THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENED at Analog

Nashville: Catherine Burford • July 13, 2026

“Politics have no place in theatre,” says a person who has no idea that some of the first-ever plays from Ancient Greece were political. From Antigone by Sophocles to Julius Caesar by Shakespeare, there has been no shortage of bold theatre spreading a message.

Review: NOIR COMEDY at Kechi Playhouse

Wichita: Greg Dalton-White • July 13, 2026

Review: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Brings Life to Broadway At Music Circus

Sacramento: Courtney Symes • July 13, 2026

What’s seven feet tall, green, and a triple threat? You’ll have to come to Broadway at Music Circus to find out and witness the spectacle of the summer. Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein is tapping its way into the hearts of Sacramentans as fast as you can say, “It’s alive!” The film version premiered in 1974 and quickly became a beloved parody of the classic Universal monster movies. It combined Brooks' signature humor and outrageous characters into an enduring classic that was adapted to a Broadway musical in 2007. This summer, director Glenn Casale’s vision of mad genius turns this Broadway at Music Circus production into a gloriously entertaining monster mash.

Review: BEEHIVE: THE 60’S MUSICAL at Stage West Theatre Calgary

Calgary: Amanda Barnum • July 13, 2026

Big hair, big voices, big love! Don’t miss Beehive at Stage West where you can relive the 1960’s through the fashion, dances, and melodies of that era. The performers are one of the most talented ensembles I’ve seen in years and you’re sure to leave with a full belly and full heart!

Review: LEAR, Pitlochry Festival Theatre

Scotland: Natalie O'Donoghue • July 13, 2026

In this bold new imagining of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, Scottish theatre legend Maureen Beattie takes on the towering role of the monarch whose decision to test her daughters’ love unravels both family and kingdom. A thrilling story of pride, folly and misplaced trust.
