Many of us have less-than-fond memories of high school, and can relate to the idea that “high school is hell” – enough so that a musical about a high school literally at the mouth of hell, overrun by demons and evildoing feels fairly apropos.
Have you ever wondered what really goes on in cemeteries when memories are shared with those seen and unseen at grave sites? Then head on over to see two, funny and life-affirming plays in this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival, bundled together as Amazing Graves, produced by Amanda Lynne for Neo Ensemble Theatre.
The Play That Goes Wrong, now playing at the Keegan Theatre, amusingly subverts classic murder mystery tropes by merrily mixing the physical comedy of the Three Stooges with the verbal intricacy of the Marx Brothers. This frenetically and madcap play conveys the double-entendre of Charlie Chan and the mass appeal of detectives we have all come to know through literature and film (for, indeed, the marvelous Matthew Pauli does a superb job of portraying “Chris” as Inspector Carter-- who reminded me of an absent-minded Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple).
El espacio Lírico del Teatro Calderón será el escenario de Alma de zarzuela, un concierto dramatizado que conectará algunas de las obras más representativas del género con la historia del propio teatro y de la ciudad de Madrid.
What did our critic think of THE SOUND OF MUSIC at Rialto Community Theatre?
It's a very well done, confrontational hour-long play at this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival, but also life-affirming to know none of us are alone in the struggle for emotional maturity rather than turn to the easy crutches of overeating, alcohol abuse, drug use or unbridled sex to forget about where the Rage holding our emotions in place is rooted.
Coming off a successful run of The Drowsy Chaperone at Cosumnes River College, Rise Up Theatre Company is tackling another fan favorite. Stephen Sondheim's Company has long been regarded as an insightful and groundbreaking comedy. In this latest production, director Courtney Conklin impressively rises to the challenge that Sondheim poses, offering an engaging and emotionally relatable interpretation that showcases both the strengths of the cast and the continuing relevance of the material.
Starting a new theatre company is a leap of faith. Launching that company with a full-scale musical featuring a cast of young performers is even bolder. Yet that is exactly what Kaitlyn Rose Vacco Woodall accomplished with THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL: YOUTH EDITION, presented June 5-7 by Rosewood Repertory at the historic Ritz Civic Center.
El universo de Pedro Páramo se inserta en la cruda realidad de la Sierra Tarahumara desde la mirada de la Compañía Nacional de Teatro y la sensibilidad del director Juan Carrillo.
I can sometimes feel intimidated by productions that focus on the climate crisis. They often leave me wrestling with feelings of guilt and the uncomfortable awareness that I could be doing more. Don't Look Now,written by Angie Farrow, is different. Beautifully and skilfully crafted, it doesn't seek to shame or lecture its audience; instead, it leaves me thoughtful and reflective, contemplating the world we live in, where we are headed, and the role we each play within it.
Once is a musical based on the acclaimed film of the same name. It remains the only musical to have won an Oscar Award, Grammy Award, Olivier Award, and Tony Award—an OGOT, if you will. If the accolades don’t ring a bell, this movie-turned-musical also inspired another movie, Begin Again starring Mark Ruffalo and Kiera Nightly.
Going to Actors Theatre of Little Rock is not just a trip to the theatre; it is an experience that embraces community in a party-like environment. I love it so much!

An entertaining collection of eight original ten-minute plays that ranges from broad comedy and satire to moments of genuine reflection.
Carla Hall delivers her signature flavor in new, autobiographical, one-person play. See what our critic had to say.
What did our critic think of MYSTERY & ILLUSION WITH PAUL NOFFSINGER at Birdie's Cabaret Theater & Lounge?
The show isn't long - and neither will this text be. But the truth is, it stays with you long after you've left the theatre. Longer than you'd expect from something so compact. Jan Kowalewski made this show an intensive pleasure full of surprises - like an espresso with caramel (is that even a thing? It is now). His talent and range brought the whole production to another level entirely.
People know Romeo & Juliet. In fact, it feels to the point that people would be reasonably familiar with a somewhat modernised Romeo & Juliet. Indeed, the archetypal tragedy is so often pulled apart and rehashed that it can become tired. WAAPA’s third year acting students, keen to make an impression, refused to retread a tired path.
