Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Ottawa Little Theatre
Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Ottawa Little Theatre
Ottawa: Courtney Castelino • April 3, 2026
Ottawa Little Theatre’s presentation of Kimberly Akimbo, written by David Lindsay-Abaire, is a fun, quirky, and deeply human musical about growing up amid unusual challenges. Set deep in the suburbs of New Jersey, we meet Kimberly (Sharon Bernbaum), a teenager navigating high school, family chaos, and a first crush while carrying more responsibility than anyone her age should, thanks to a rare disease and a dysfunctional family.
Review: THE MONSTERS at Berkeley Rep
Review: THE MONSTERS at Berkeley Rep
San Francisco / Bay Area: Steve Murray • April 3, 2026
Berkely Rep’s co-production with La Jolla Playhouse of Ngozi Anywanu’s The Monsters is a joyous, heartwarming story of the bond between sister and brother that will want to make you hug your sibling. Both emotionally devastating and rewarding, The Monsters is brilliantly written, superbly acted by Anyanwu and Bay Area–born actor Sullivan Jones (HBO’s The Gilded Age, Slave Play on Broadway), and beautifully staged by Director Tamilla Woodard and her technical crew.

Review: San Diego Opera Performs Bizet's CARMEN at San Diego Civic Center
Opera: Ron Bierman • April 3, 2026
Carmen is the world’s third most performed opera. Its tale of the doomed love affair between an innocent young soldier and a beguiling young woman unconstrained by conventional beliefs was seen in more than 6,000 productions on five continents last year. This performance was in the opera’s original French with Spanish and English translations displayed above the stage.
Review: NUTS at The Weekend Theater in Little Rock
Review: NUTS at The Weekend Theater in Little Rock
Arkansas: Theresa Bertram • April 3, 2026
What is the definition of crazy? Are you nuts? And perhaps the most unsettling question of all—would you be able to defend yourself in court if your sanity were put on trial? To be honest, I’m not entirely sure how successful I would be at convincing a judge to deem me fit for a regular trial… and that uneasy thought is exactly what lingered with me as I walked into Tom Toper's NUTS at The Weekend Theater, which ran March 6–22 in Little Rock.

Review: Full House Enjoys AN EVENING WITH DIONNE WARWICK at Groton Hill Music Ce
Review: Full House Enjoys AN EVENING WITH DIONNE WARWICK at Groton Hill Music Center
Boston: R. Scott Reedy • April 2, 2026
As Dionne Warwick took the stage at Groton Hill Music Center in Groton recently, before she had sung a single word, she was met by a rousing standing ovation. It was clear from the get-go that the capacity audience knew they were in the presence of a legend.
Review: Theatre Raleigh's COME FROM AWAY
Review: Theatre Raleigh's COME FROM AWAY
Raleigh: Jeffrey Kare • April 2, 2026
Come From Away is based on a true story of when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small Canadian town turned into an international sleep-over when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from across the globe, were diverted to Gander's air strip on September 11th, 2001.
Review: FLEX at SF Playhouse
Review: FLEX at SF Playhouse
San Francisco / Bay Area: Steve Murray • April 2, 2026
For Starra Jones, a baller from rural Plainnole, Arkansas, fulfilling her mother’s dream of basketball glory is her prime motivation. Playing a style of ‘dirty’ ball, her braggadocio will lead her to a foul play in Candrice Jones’ Flex, making its West Coast premiere at SF Playhouse.

Review: ONE DESTINY at Ford's Theatre
Washington, DC: Elliot Lanes • April 2, 2026
When it comes to the arts, there are a lot of things in DC that go either unnoticed or get lost in the shuffle. For almost twenty years now Ford’s Theatre has been presenting such a piece of theatre and it’s a very important one.

Review: CHICAGO at the Kennedy Center
Review: CHICAGO at the Kennedy Center
Washington, DC: Mary Lincer • April 2, 2026
When the original production of Chicago opened on Broadway in 1975, its subtitle read “A Musical Vaudeville.” And as distinctively Bob Fosse-style as it was (and is in this excellent touring production of the 1996 revival), Chicago has always been a slight history of vaudeville.

Review: DOING 90 DOWN MEMORY LANE at Brave New Workshop
Review: DOING 90 DOWN MEMORY LANE at Brave New Workshop
Minneapolis / St. Paul: Jared Fessler • April 2, 2026
Doing 90 Down Memory Lane at the Brave New Workshop is a laugh-out-loud comedy that feels like a fast-moving road trip through some of the company’s best sketches from the past few years. Framed as a springtime detour through Minnesota road closures, the show is a perfect mix of nostalgia and fresh humor, with a few throwback sketches that longtime fans will love.

Review: SHREK THE MUSICAL JR at The Royal Theatre in Benton
Arkansas: Theresa Bertram • April 2, 2026
SomeBODY once told me that Shrek The Musical Jr. would be a fun night at the theatre, but what I experienced at The Royal Theatre in Benton was a joyful, high-energy celebration of young talent, teamwork, and the kind of storytelling that reminds us all why we fell in love with theatre in the first place.
