News About My Favorite Sociopath at Contemporary American Theater Festival / Shepherd University Campus
Review: MY FAVORITE SOCIOPATH at Contemporary American Theater Festival
July 16, 2026 We need plays like Aurin Squire's “My Favorite Psychopath” to remind us that when it comes to shameless, yellow journalism, we have nobody to blame but ourselves. Squire offers us a finely-crafted portrait of digital-age journalism in all its messiness, and director Céline Rosenthal has created a truly riveting, disturbing evening of theatre which should trouble us all, long after we’ve headed home.

Review: CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN THEATER FESTIVAL'S 2026 Rollout
March 12, 2026 One of the most eagerly-awaited debuts will be Beth Kander's 'Best Line Wins,' a show dedicated to the lives and careers of two of America’s great comic treasures, Elaine May and Mike Nichols. Whether you grew up with their subversive acts back in the day, or whether you’re a newcomer, or a fan of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, with its evocation of the comedy club scene in the late 1950’s, you are in for one helluva treat.About the Theatre
