Review: SUFFS at The National Theatre
by Aidan O'Connor - June 17, 2026
The women’s suffrage movement in the United States spanned 72 years, finally concluding in 1920 when women gained the right to vote. Thousands of women lended their lives to the cause with a hope for the future, that subsequent generations would be inspired by the suffragists. Yet, their names wer...
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: 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...
