A Broadway Show With Every American President
by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - Aug 23, 2026
Theatre has always intersected with politics, and the presence of American presidents in Broadway, off-Broadway, and regional theatre plays and musicals is a major part of this. Did you know that all of our heads of state have been featured in shows, whether as characters or as plot points that are part of the action? Dramatizing current and former leaders of our nation is a way to examine their affect on society at the time and how political events, even those of many years ago, still impact us all.

Review: -320°F, Sadler's Wells
by Cindy Marcolina - Jul 3, 2026
Hideki Noda reintroduces his idiosyncratic blend of movement and drama in a production that’s grounded by a strong philosophical framework and soars with brilliantly theatrical imagination. This is experimental theatre that verges on the completely and poetically bonkers. The play might be structurally complicated to explain, but it’s remarkably easy to follow due to Noda’s instinctive approach to storytelling.
