Review: THE BOOK OF MORMON at National Theatre


by David Friscic - May 01, 2026

The Book of Mormon continues its robustly quirky, comedic, and intentionally offensive romp as it enjoys a much too-short touring run at the National Theatre in Washington, DC.  Rushing to get tickets to this production would be a wise idea ---the phenomenon that is the Tony-winning The Book of Mor...

Review: AESOP'S FABLES at Adventure Theatre MTC


by Elliot Lanes - April 30, 2026

I honestly think there is something in the water at Glen Echo Park because Adventure Theatre MTC is now four for four this season with their latest production Aesop’s Fables. This show is fast paced, well-acted, well- directed, and most importantly, educates as well as entertains....

Review: EVERYTHING, DEVOURED at Sitar Arts Center


by Aidan O'Connor - April 19, 2026

Picture former United States President Ronald Reagan as a demon drag queen summoned to the Chicago apartment of a group of twenty somethings. A bit bizarre to think about. On paper, the far-fetched, extraordinarily unique pitch shouldn’t work. Yet, in the world premiere production of Everything, D...
