Review: NOBODY'S PERFECT at New Theatre & Restaurant
by Alan Portner - Dec 1, 2025
Overland Park, KS — The New Theatre & Restaurant has built its reputation on polished, crowd-pleasing comedies, and its latest production of Nobody’s Perfect keeps that tradition humming along with bright energy and old-fashioned farce. This show is a four-hander with a super cast starring Jim O’Heir (familiar to audiences from TV’s Parks and Recreation) as Leonard Loftus. Backing up O’Heir are New Theatre veterans Kelly Felthous, Victor Raider-Wexler and rookie KyLee Hennes.

Interview: David Boyd Directs LEGACY OF LIGHT at Catalyst Theater Company
by Chloe Yang - Nov 13, 2025
Director David Boyd discusses Catalyst Theater Company's production of Karen Zacarías' Legacy of Light, the award-winning play connecting 18th-century physicist Émilie du Châtelet with a modern-day astrophysicist. In this exclusive interview, Boyd reveals his cinematic approach to staging parallel timelines, the rehearsal room conversations about women balancing ambition and motherhood, and why this intellectually rigorous, female-driven narrative resonates with contemporary audiences. Legacy of Light runs November 14-16, 2024, at the duCret Center of Art in Plainfield, New Jersey. The play features six actors portraying nine characters across 300 years, exploring themes of science, surrogacy, legacy, and the impossible choices women face between career and family. Boyd, founding artistic director of Catalyst Theater Company and veteran scenic artist who has worked on productions including Sex and the City and Across the Universe, shares insights into bringing Karen Zacarías' Steinberg Citation-winning script to life in an intimate theater setting.

Review: HAMLUKE at Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre
by Jared Fessler - Aug 12, 2025
There’s no way Hamluke should work. It’s Hamlet smashed into Star Wars, with puppets, live music, a dozen people playing thirty different roles, and a script that switches between iambic pentameter and lightsaber duels without warning. And yet—it does. Somehow, it does.

Review: YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLEY BROWN at PORTHOUSE THEATER
by Roy Berko - Jul 10, 2025
Few realize that when reading a Peanuts comic strip, watching a television show based on the writings of Charles M. Schulz, or seeing the theatrical YOU’RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN, a version of which is now on stage at Porthouse Theatre, that they are being exposed to the author’s religious sensibility.
