Palm Canyon Theatre’s holiday-season production of “Annie” is a radiant reminder that optimism and heart can light even the darkest of times. Directed and choreographed by Se Layne, with musical direction by Linda Mack Berven, this beloved musical bursts with warmth, humor, and dazzling performances. Running November 28 through December 21, 2025, the production captures the spirit of the Great Depression-era story while infusing it with a fresh, contemporary energy that makes it feel timeless.

The iconic rock musical Hair is back in a bold new Brazilian production directed by Charles Möeller and Claudio Botelho. Opening at São Paulo’s BTG Pactual Hall, the show celebrates the spirit of the 1960s counterculture — peace, love, and rebellion — through powerful anthems like Aquarius and Let the Sunshine In. With a cast of 30 led by Rodrigo Simas and Eduardo Borelli, this vibrant staging fuses rock, poetry, and raw emotion to explore freedom, identity, and protest in a turbulent era. Nearly six decades after its debut, Hair still pulses with youthful defiance and idealism, inviting audiences to sing, reflect, and feel the rhythm of a revolution that never truly ended.

What did our critic think of ASTOR PIAZZOLLA EXTRAVAGANZA, BY ANALIA FARFAN AND THE INTERNATIONAL AMERICAN BALLET at St. Jean?

From 1892 to 1930, Ellis Island was the first experience of life in America for millions of immigrants. That first experience was dramatic, exciting, terrifying and unforgettable. And the immigrants remembered. Those stories are presented in this performance piece by Pippa White.

DIETRICH, written by Willard Manus, starring Cindy Marinangel, Chicago Second City Conservatory graduate, directed by Glenda Morgan Brown and produced by Sea Angel Productions., LLC is based on a true story. Set in May 1960, the play takes place when the actress returned to the Berlin stage for the first time since fleeing the Hitler regime in the 1930’s. Inside her dressing room at the Tatania-Palast Theater, Dietrich weighs whether to go through with the live performance despite threats on her life by Nazi sympathizers who resented her for having spent much of World War II entertaining American soldiers on the front lines. To them, Dietrich is a turncoat; a traitor who deserves to be shot and killed on stage.

Wonder what would happen if some 1930’s high schoolers smoked weed for the first time? According to New Stage Theatreworks’s production of Reefer Madness, apparently, they would ruin their whole lives. Though this might sound dark, actual propaganda films of the time portrayed this message seriously. Reefer Madness, however, is a musical satire of the 1936 propaganda film of the same name. Set in 1936, the story is set up as a play within a play, with the Lecturer (John Lipian) telling a story that the school’s drama department would then put on.

Janet Eilber was a high school senior at Michigan’s Interlochen School for the Arts when she first crossed paths with modern dance legend Martha Graham (1894–1991). After auditioning for Graham, the dancer and actor attended the Juilliard School at Graham’s recommendation, and subsequently joined the doyenne’s eponymous dance company where she became a soloist at age 21, dancing many of the roles made famous by Graham.
