What a Life 1938

Lazy Susan Theatre Co. is about to embark on their 4th annual theatre season which will explore identity, community, power and survival through bold intimate storytelling.

Halloween season in Williamson County has found its crown jewel. Studio Tenn has officially launched its 17th theatrical season at the Turner Theater with a deliciously macabre production of The Addams Family running through October 25. Directed with razor-sharp comedic timing and vibrant visual flair, this production proves that Broadway’s favorite ghoulishly eccentric clan translates brilliantly to the local stage.

Forward Theater will present the Wisconsin premiere of GASLIGHT, Steven Dietz's adaptation of Patrick Hamilton's 1938 thriller, at Overture Center for the Arts in Madison.

The Long Beach Shakespeare Company will present radio adaptations of classic works including Ray Bradbury's Zero Hour, Edgar Allan Poe's Tell Tale, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds at the Helen Borgers Theatre.

Outhere Music will release recordings featuring violinist Geneva Lewis performing Barber, Zorn, and Glass; mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor's recital debut; and Paavo Järvi conducting Mahler's Symphony No. 2 with Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich.

The musical was on Broadway before it was a movie, and they highlight all the great songs from the movie, all the stuff with the kids, all the beautiful things with the nuns, and the captain and Maria. But there's also some really great stuff that they just didn't have time to put into the movie.

East Lynne Theater Company will present an adaptation of the infamous 1938 radio broadcast in true Golden Age radio style, with four actors performing 75 roles and creating live sound effects.

Tom Stoppard’s Leopoldstadt follows multiple generations of an Austrian Jewish family from prosperity to despair — spanning over 50 years from 1899 to 1955. Now in its Chicago-area premiere at Writers Theatre, the late Stoppard’s final play includes a cast of 24 actors and many, many characters. Leopoldstadt (named after the Jewish quarter of Vienna) is a sprawling and ambitious work.

You may ask yourself—is seeing a touring stage production of the globally and generationally ubiquitous 1959 musical THE SOUND OF MUSIC still worth experiencing live on stage in 2026? While the stage musical in its current touring form certainly doesn't offer anything revolutionary or new to the show's now timeless canon, this latest iteration is, overall, a genuinely enjoyable, unabashedly earnest, and pleasantly nostalgic revival of a classic, featuring everything that made the show so gosh darn lovable to our parents and their parents before them. Sticking to the familiar, the show remains a comfortably cozy revival that will satisfy those expecting more of the same. The tour continues at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa through June 14, 2026.

What is a pro-shot and how is it different than an adapted film? Pro-shot is an abbreviation for professionally shot, denoting a stage play that was captured in its native habitat: a theatre. In general, a pro-shot seeks to film the exact experience that audience members would have at a live performance of the show, in contrast with a feature film which actually adapts the piece into a new form, including different locations, the removal of theatrical aesthetic, and changes to make the script work as a film as opposed to as a live theatrical show.
