Playwright Vivienne Franzmann and choreographer-psychotherapist Frauke Requardt bring ANATOMY OF SURVIVAL to Edinburgh Festival Fringe, using dance, text, drumming, and psychology to explore the human nervous system through 22 interpretations of a coffee shop meltdown.

Tom Ryalls' This Book Is Short: A Toolkit for Creative ADHDers is a refreshingly honest, practical and deeply compassionate guide that understands both the possibilities and the frustrations of living and creating with ADHD. Rather than presenting itself as a definitive solution, the book offers a flexible collection of tools, reflections and strategies that encourage readers to discover what works for them.

There’s a certain neat irony at the heart of this. A female director, returning to this opera for a second season (and for its third outing in Holland Park's semi-open staging), has chosen to stay largely faithful to a work whose central idea is that women are inherently unfaithful.

A special moment took place in Sydney this weekend when an audience member took the stage to join the orchestra during the opening night performance of Justin Hurwitz’s La La Land in Concert at the Darling Harbour Theatre.

What a joy it is to see Olivier Award-winning The P Word returning to the Bush Theatre, along with original cast members Esh Alladi and Waleed Akhtar. A deeply moving, heartfelt and important play for our times.

Sophie Power's CVNT, a bouffon-style clown show blending physical theatre and interactive comedy to reclaim feminine pleasure, is set to return to Assembly George Square at Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Scenario Youth has announced the full cast for its Youth Flagship Production of PETER PAN JR at Die Centurion Teater, with Erich Jordaan, known for Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Sweeney Todd, set to play Peter Pan.

Lillian Tang of Bloomfield Hills High School and AJ Denomme of Dakota High School were named Outstanding Performers at the 14th annual Sutton Foster Awards Showcase at Wharton Center, earning spots to compete at the Jimmy Awards in New York City.

There is a moment, somewhere between the knife-thrower's insane grin and Brian the Goose making his entrance with the unruffled authority of a minor aristocrat, when you simply have to give in to the magic. Giffords Circus has this effect on people. It has had this effect on people for twenty-six years, and Waterfield — this season's new production, themed around the riverbanks and hedgerows of an England that exists mainly in children's literature — gives absolutely no indication that the spell is about to wear off.

Another Castle Productions will present the world premiere of CELL: A DUOLOGUE at The Broadwater Black Box in Los Angeles, starring Alyssa Limperis and Mike Cabellon in Edward G. Excaliber's new one-act.

The Cleveland Play House is launching the world premiere of the new musical Freak the Mighty. Adapted from Rodman Philbrick’s novel, the story follows the adventures of two young outsiders who form an unlikely friendship.

There are some shows that feel untouchable, which is why it takes a certain amount of courage or lunacy to approach a beloved musical and decide to reinvent it. Co-directors Sherri Eden Barber and Coleman Ray Clark do exactly that, taking some big swings with Diversionary Theatre's production of RENT playing through June 28th.

What did our critic think of STEEL MAGNOLIAS at Arkansas Repertory Theatre?

Joe Scalissi, praised by the Las Vegas Review-Journal as 'Dean to a T,' will perform at the Dean Martin Hometown Festival's 30th anniversary luncheon show in Weirton, WV, with Lou Martini Jr. as MC.

All I had to do was take that initial leap. My passion for theatre supersedes judgment and I am constantly feeling grateful that my high school theatre community showed me that. I thank every “theatre-friend” throughout the years who has respected me for my fearlessly geeky self.

National Tour is tighter and cleans up some of the grittier sensibilities while employing Broadway level talent.

Amphibian Stage has announced the full lineup for SparkFest'26, its annual celebration of live entertainment in Fort Worth's Near Southside. This year, SparkFest proudly shines a spotlight on the Latine community, offering a vibrant array of events.

Kenneth Branagh has returned to Stratford-upon-Avon to tread the boards of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, where we last saw him 33 years ago as the Prince of Denmark directed by Adrian Noble. This time around, Branagh takes on Shakespeare’s swan song under Richard Eyre. He gets to tick Prospero off his Shakespearean to-do list, and we get to watch another project where the actor-director-writer-producer sticks out like a sore thumb. Eyre struggles to keep Branagh under control.

In the most delightful case of déjà vu, Stratford Festival audiences once again can take in Director/Choreographer Donna Feore’s masterful production of SOMETHING ROTTEN (last seen in 2024) at the Festival Theatre this season. For a production that is being repeated, it is ironically part of a lot of firsts! This is the first time (in my recollection) that a show has been brought back by popular demand, and it is also the first time Feore has both musicals on the Festival Theatre stage (with mostly the same company of actors between them). What is affectionately being called SOMETHING ROTTEN 2.0 opened to thunderous applause (and two mid-show ovations) Friday night and I've never been able to say with more certainty that it will be a hit!

Heartwarming and hilarious, the musical theatre adaption of TOOTSIE has its Australian Premiere at Teatro At The Italian Forum. 

Nick Fagan has drawn together some of Adelaide’s finest performers.

The Shakespeare Theatre Company has had a rich history of stars lured to its stage — not just to sell tickets through big names. The actors nearly always deliver — and the company attracts them because of the quality and rigor it retains.
