I love visiting Northwest Arkansas, and when I was invited to see Dear Evan Hansen at Arkansas Public Theatre, I was especially excited because it meant I would finally get to visit the historic Victory Theater in downtown Rogers. Owned by the City of Rogers and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Victory is a beautiful piece of the city’s history as well as a home for live theatre.

Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller’s classic tragedy about a man trying to achieve the American Dream, opened at Ottawa Little Theatre this week. The play was required reading for me in high school, and I will admit that, as a teenager, I despised it.

Weston Theater Company will present the Pulitzer Prize-winning PRIMARY TRUST, directed by Bobbin Ramsey, at Walker Farm as the finale of its anniversary season.

Dear Readers, shows about overcoming adversity are not a new thing. It’s pretty much a staple of many storylines. But what has been coming up more and more are the shows about overcoming a physical adversity. Of course there’s one of my favorites, “Hairspray” dealing with racism and body positivity. There’s the recent “How to Dance in Ohio” about autistic teens at a school dance. And then there’s “Kimberly Akimbo” with the teen girl who ages so fast she looks like she’s in her 60’s. And what all these physical malady shows have in common is they strive to push those emotional buttons of ours. And now along comes “Freak the Mighty” at the Seattle Rep, in conjunction with Cleveland Play House. A new World Premiere musical that gleefully pushes those buttons to wonderful effect. And while those buttons are pushed eliciting many a sniffle or tear in the audience, the show could use some tightening up to become truly mighty.

I absolutely love discovering hidden theatre gems, and Ouachita Little Theatre is exactly that! Nestled at the foot of Rich Mountain near the Oklahoma border, this charming community theatre continues to surprise me with the incredible talent it produces. Every visit reminds me that you don't have to travel to a major city to experience outstanding live theatre.

BroadwayWorld spoke with Chameroy about what makes a musical sizzle, trusting your scene partner—even when it’s the stage itself—and how to balance explosive humour with laid-back cool.

When Philly and NYC meet to celebrate the late, great Tony Bennett.

Inon Barnatan became music director of La Jolla Music Society’s annual SummerFest chamber-music festival in 2018. This year, on its 40th anniversary, the celebration’s theme is “Making History.” More than 100 artists are participating in a month of 21 adventurous concerts. Born in Tel Aviv, the pianist began playing on his own at the age of three. Half a year later his parents realized he had perfect pitch and was likely to respond well to lessons. From his youthful point of view, it probably didn’t hurt that his first teacher rewarded him with chocolates. As he progressed, he studied at Tel Aviv University before moving to London at the age of 16 to study at the Royal Academy of Music with Maria Curcio, a student of Artur Schnabel. The late Leon Fleisher was also an influential teacher and mentor. The versatile musician, “One of the most admired pianists of his generation” (The New York Times) performs with the world’s finest orchestras and in recitals of solo and chamber music.  His most recent recording is a set of Brahms Cello Sonatas with Alisa Weilerstein. I met with Barnatan via Zoom to discuss the festival, how he approached its programming, and his career as a soloist.

Here are my interviews with director Melissa Chalsma, composer David Melville, and actor Carene Rose Mekertichyan on COMEDY OF ERRORS presented by Independent Shakespeare Company outdoors in Griffith Park this summer.
