Review: JOHN PROCTOR IS A VILLAIN at Kansas City Repertory Theatre

Review: JOHN PROCTOR IS A VILLAIN at Kansas City Repertory Theatre

Kansas City: Alan Portner • October 12, 2026

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It is fitting that a play about questioning the stories we inherit has a story of its own worth revisiting. Kimberly Belflower’s John Proctor Is the Villain, now being presented by Kansas City Repertory Theatre at the downtown Copaken Stage, has so far traveled a remarkable road.  I Imagine Kimberly as Luke Skywalker with a laser pistol taking comic potshots at almost everyone in her galaxy. But there is something darker going on in this play too

What if Juliet chose herself over Romeo? Packed with Max Martin’s biggest pop hits, “& Julia” reimagines Shakespeare’s tragedy as a vibrant, witty celebration of self-discovery, queer visibility and female empowerment. Stuttgart’s energetic cast brings this feel-good musical to life.

Where do you go to have an entertaining time at the theater while simultaneously being intellectually stimulated?  Attending a play authored by Tom Stoppard would seem to be an obvious answer.  And Portland Stage is offering a production of what many consider his best work to open the company’s 53rd season.

Review: CARRIE at Connecticut Theatre Company

Review: CARRIE at Connecticut Theatre Company

Connecticut: Jared Reynolds • October 11, 2026

Horror is one of the most versatile genres in performing arts. Connecticut Theatre Company chose the minimalist route, which created a fantastical atmosphere rather than the gruesome route that horror/slasher films take today.
