Review: INDECENT at Theater Latté Da

Review: INDECENT at Theater Latté Da

Minneapolis / St. Paul: Joe Sarafolean • September 20, 2026

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.

Review: INHERIT THE WIND at Sherman Players

Review: INHERIT THE WIND at Sherman Players

Connecticut: Jared Reynolds • September 20, 2026

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'.

Review: FEEL GOOD, Òran Mór

Review: FEEL GOOD, Òran Mór

Scotland: Natalie O'Donoghue • September 20, 2026

Henry never expected his first girlfriend, Liz, to turn up at his flat. Especially not as a sex robot.

Review: LA TRAVIATA at Four Seasons Centre For The Performing Arts

Review: LA TRAVIATA at Four Seasons Centre For The Performing Arts

Toronto: Keira Grant • September 20, 2026

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.

Review: A CHORUS LINE at The 5th Avenue Theatre

Review: A CHORUS LINE at The 5th Avenue Theatre

Seattle: Jay Irwin • September 19, 2026

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.

Review: THE FABLE FESTIVAL AND MOTHER GOOSED at DreamWrights

Review: THE FABLE FESTIVAL AND MOTHER GOOSED at DreamWrights

Central Pennsylvania: Sandra Harberger • September 19, 2026

DreamWrights presents a double feature with The Fable Festival and Mother Goosed on stage from September 18th to 27th under the direction of Hannah Kuhn. The Fable Festival and Mother Goosed is filled with animals and nursery rhymes gone wrong. It is perfect for families with children. It’s also an excellent opportunity to support local playwrights. Congratulations to the winners of Dreamwrights’ Fable Festival!

Review: JOHN & JEN at La Grange at Bruxellons!

Review: JOHN & JEN at La Grange at Bruxellons!

France: Patrick Honoré • September 19, 2026

Tucked into La Grange's intimate corner of Bruxellons, Andrew Lippa's near-sung-through two-hander proves a musical can carry real psychological weight.
