Review: THE FIFTH STEP is hilarious, sharp and hits you in the gut

Review: THE FIFTH STEP is hilarious, sharp and hits you in the gut

South Africa: Faeron Wheeler • September 12, 2026

THE FIFTH STEP is one of those plays that makes you laugh before hitting you with real emotion. The writing and the characters created by David Ireland are superb. And the Baxter team that brought them to life have more than risen to the occasion.

Review: JURASSIC PARKING LOT at Seattle Public Theater on Green Lake

Review: JURASSIC PARKING LOT at Seattle Public Theater on Green Lake

Seattle: Shelley Dean • September 11, 2026

What’s better than roaring laughter and a night at the theater? How about laughing with roaring dinosaurs at the theater! The Habit Comedy is combining every element for a good time now through September 27 at the Seattle Public Theater on Green Lake, as Jurassic Parking Lot makes its colossal return to the Emerald City. Hilariously written by Jeff Schell and David Swidler, with foot-tapping music and top-tier direction by Mark Siano. If you’re looking for a night of suspended reality with the occasional leaf blower in your face, this is the place to be.

Review: BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA at A Red Orchid Theatre

Review: BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA at A Red Orchid Theatre

Chicago: Rachel Weinberg • September 11, 2026

Birds of North America is a touching and supremely well-acted two hander. A Red Orchid Theatre’s return engagement reunites Cassidy Slaughter-Mason and John Judd as father-daughter duo Caitlyn and John, directed by Artistic Diretor Kirsten Fitzgerald. Over the course of roughly 10 years, Caitlyn and John bird from the yard of their family home in Maryland. Through these encounters, playwright Anna Ouyang Moench explores the evolution of this father-daughter relationship. Sometimes, John and Caitlyn appear to be each other’s biggest supporters. But as with many family dynamics, their close relationship also means they have the ability to push one another’s buttons and deliver astounding, painful barbs.

Review: EMERGENCE, Theatre Royal

Scotland: Natalie O'Donoghue • September 11, 2026

Enter a mesmerising underworld where human-kind dissolves into something altogether more elemental.

Crítica: MASA MADRE at Teatro La Capilla

Crítica: MASA MADRE at Teatro La Capilla

Mexico: Juan Carlos Araujo • September 11, 2026

Una hilarante farsa donde la gentrificación, junto con sus franquicias, tienen el poder de destruir la estabilidad de una familia, o de una excéntrica millonaria.

Review: CRUSHING at A.C.T. Strand

Review: CRUSHING at A.C.T. Strand

San Francisco / Bay Area: Steve Murray • September 11, 2026

Stories of romantic love are delivered by a variety of interdisciplinary artists in the second Bay Area incarnation of Crushing, and it’s a winner for the art of spoken word. The featured writers span genders, ages and viewpoints and you never know what’s coming next.

Review: PERICLES at Theater At Boston Court

Review: PERICLES at Theater At Boston Court

Los Angeles: Evan Henerson • September 11, 2026

In staging the west coast premiere of Ellen McLaughlin’s modern verse translation, director Margaret Shigeko Starbuck and her cast are working their Helicanuses and Thaisas off to keep this lesser-staged romance punchy and relevant

Review: MENSA at OnStage Playhouse

Review: MENSA at OnStage Playhouse

San Diego: ErinMarie Reiter • September 10, 2026

There is no magic equation for solving political division, or for fixing a culture that increasingly seems to prefer arguing at one another rather than actually talking. Mensa doesn’t pretend to have that answer, but it does offer a nice opening to start the conversation.
