Review: INTO THE BREECHES! at Wichita Community Theatre
by Susan Guntly - April 30, 2025
Four opportunities remain to enjoy Wichita Community Theatre’s Into the Breeches by George Brant. A heartfelt comedy about those left at home during World War II while their beloved soldiers sail off to battle. The Oberon Theatre, in Providence, RI, is to stand dark for the entirety of the war while the men, who dominate the company, fight abroad. A band of sisters make meaning of their altered lives by cultivating creativity, fostering connection, and surprising themselves along the way.

Feature: THE 42ND WILLIAM INGE THEATRE FESTIVAL at The William Inge Center For The Arts At Independence Community College, Independence KS
by Paula Makar - April 23, 2025
It’s a shame that this is my first time attending the William Inge Theatre Festival at Independence Community College in Independence, KS. This Festival has hosted some top notch playwrights over the years, with recent featured playwrights including Lauren Gunderson, Lynn Nottage, and Paula Vogel. This is the 42nd year of the Festival, which celebrates the legacy of the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright William Inge, a native of Independence, KS. It is also the official theatre festival of the state of Kansas. The event is not only a retreat for playwrights, but for any theatre practitioner who is looking for an inspirational and communal experience in a relaxing and welcoming environment. It is safe to say I will be attending next year, and if you are interested in the future of theatre, you should, too!

Review: WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION at ICT Rep
by John Dalton-White - March 31, 2025
When you mention playwright and novelist Dame Agatha Christie to the average theatre audience member, they quickly come to mental images of her classics The Mousetrap, Ten Little Indians (now titled And Then There Were None), or The Unexpected Guest. But Christie’s courtroom drama, Witness for the Prosecution, is one of the Queen of Crime’s finest, and ICT Rep is summoning Wichita audiences to the historic Sedgwick County Courthouse this last weekend and next to see how this drama unfolds.
