Review: HOW TO DIE IN JAPAN at District Fringe

Review: HOW TO DIE IN JAPAN at District Fringe

Washington, DC: Aidan O'Connor • July 14, 2026

If nothing else in this world, we all have one thing in common – everyone is born, and everyone will die. Regardless of the country or culture shaping us, every human encounters the daunting ambiguity and the rigid finality of the end of this life sentence equally. Contrastly, our experience with death while living is sculpted by our varying cultures. How to Die in Japan, an entertaining one-woman show at District Fringe, uses honest comedy to explore the convergence of Japanese and American cultures surrounding the end of life.

Review: WHEN I WAS at District Fringe

Review: WHEN I WAS at District Fringe

Washington, DC: Roger Catlin • July 14, 2026

Teenage years are no picnic for anyone. That we survive it at all makes us wish we all had the knowledge then what we know now. Such is the premise of MaKayla Baker Paxton’s play “When I Was” that’s playing as part of the District Fringe.

Review: Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID Strengthens a Beloved Classic

Vancouver: Alyson Eng • July 14, 2026

More than 35 years after Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID premiered in theatres, the beloved animated classic continues to capture the imagination of audiences across generations. Following the success of the 1989 film, the story made the leap to Broadway in 2008, where it found new life as a stage musical that has since toured internationally and become a favourite among regional theatre companies.

Review: ELF THE MUSICAL at Music Theatre Wichita

Wichita: John Dalton-White • July 14, 2026

While the outside temperature was a scorching 92 degrees, the audience inside the Century II Concert Hall enjoyed the cold air conditioning and Music Theatre Wichita’s production of ELF THE MUSICAL.  While the majority of shows this season at Music Theatre Wichita are tired reruns, ELF THE MUSICAL is the only new show for MTW.

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

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

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

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.
