Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at Keegan Theatre Photo
Review: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at Keegan Theatre


by David Friscic - June 17, 2026

The Play That Goes Wrong, now playing at the Keegan Theatre, amusingly subverts classic murder mystery tropes by merrily mixing the physical comedy of the Three Stooges with the verbal intricacy of the Marx Brothers. This frenetically and madcap play conveys the double-entendre of Charlie Chan and t...

Review: EVIL LIBRARIAN: A NEW MUSICAL at Landless Theatre Company


by Rachael F. Goldberg - June 17, 2026

Many of us have less-than-fond memories of high school, and can relate to the idea that “high school is hell” – enough so that a musical about a high school literally at the mouth of hell, overrun by demons and evildoing feels fairly apropos. ...

Review: ONCE at NextStop Theatre


by Audrey Cahak - June 16, 2026

Review: LOOT at Edge Of The Universe Theater


by Audrey Cahak - June 11, 2026

Billed by Edge of the Universe Theater as “Monty Python meets Oscar Wilde,” Loot is a quirky, satirical snapshot of 1960s Britain that shares images of 2020s America. Written in 1965 by controversial playwright Joe Orton, Loot explores religious, moral, and institutional corruption through the c...
