Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at City Theatre
by Sabrina Wallace - Jul 28, 2026
A contemporary soundtrack, Shakespearean verse, and a playful approach give City Theatre’s adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream a distinctive identity. The fairies sparkle, the mechanicals steal the laughs, and the production proves that revisiting the classics can still lead to something unexpected.

Review: Encore Performing Arts Warms a FROZEN Heart at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts
by Albert Gutierrez - Jul 19, 2026
The selection of Frozen as the summer musical served multiple masters. Thematically, it fit within Encore’s 2025-2026 season’s theme of “Finding Yourself,” as the story of Queen Elsa discovering how to better control her powers also serves as a metaphor for self-love, self-acceptance, and self-esteem. Frozen also, let’s be honest, has always been a crowd-pleaser. It has a near universal appeal for various attendees who’d be interested in seeing a production at Dr. Phillips Center. Musical Theatre Acolytes. Disney Adults. Families looking for kid-friendly entertainment.
