I’ve been five days in Toruń and saw nine shows. After a while I figured that there is an invisible rope connecting all of them - if you followed it carefully enough, it led you from one theatrical venue to the next, weaving a thread you didn't quite see until the very end.

Escape to Margaretaville, opening this Wednesday in Marshal, Michigan, July 9th-August 22nd, 2026, at Cornwell’s Dinner Theatre, Turkeyville USA, for a multi-week engagement. On a small island in the Caribbean, vacationers and the laid-back staff of the Margaritaville bar flirt, unwind, and sip drinks under the sun. When an ambitious tourist named Rachel arrives with her friend Tammy for a much-needed vacation, she finds an unexpected romance with Tully, the island bartender and musician. As paradise collides with real life, both are faced with deciding what they want beyond the sandy beaches of Margaritaville. This tropical romantic comedy has plenty to laugh at and a sweet love story – all underscored by Jimmy Buffett’s classic tunes, including “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “Margaritaville,” “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” “Fins,” “Volcano,” and many more. With a book by Emmy Award winner Greg Garcia (My Name Is Earl, Raising Hope) and Emmy nominee Mike O’Malley (Survivor’s Remorse, Shameless), this hilarious, heartwarming musical is the party you’ve been waiting for! Broadway World Michigan was fortunate to interview Lauren Quigley, who plays Tammy, ahead of the show’s opening night!

The Second City e.t.c.’s 50th revue Reality Detox promises more improv than ever before. While originally billed as an all-improv piece, ensemble members Kennedy Baldwin, Anna Portnick, Chas Lilly, Max Thomas (appearing in his second e.t.c revue), Annie Sullivan, and Riley Woolen haven’t quite made it there. But Reality Detox features substantially more improv than some past revues. The ensemble uses a chalkboard to indicate the line-up of sketches and improv moments of the evening. It appears that the improv slots rotate so audiences also see different sketches each night, making each performance a little different.
