Come From Away, the musical by Irene Sankoff and…

Theater Review: PERICLES (Boston Court Pasadena)
PERICLES IS WORTH THE VOYAGE A questionable framing device doesn’t sink Boston Court’s lively take on Shakespeare’s rarely staged adventure The groundlings who attended William Shakespeare’s Pericles, Prince of Tyre back in 1608 (or 1619, hard to nail these dates down) would certainly have gotten their penny’s worth, as did the audience at the West…

A First-Timer’s Guide to Seeing Live Theater: How to Choose a Show, Find Seats, and Know What to Expect
Seeing live theater for the first time can feel surprisingly unfamiliar.

Theater Review: ADOLESCENT SALVATION (Theater Wit / Chicago)
TEENAGE WASTELAND Growing up is hell in Tim Venable’s funny, disturbing and morally murky gearshift play In the late 1990s, filmmaker P.T.

Theater Preview: KAIJU (The Road Theatre Company & BroadStage / Los Angeles)
THE MONSTERS HAVE NOTES Two kaiju flatten a city, then stick around to argue Godzilla generally has better things to do after destroying a city than discuss the cultural implications.

Theater Review: BEING PIAF (Odyssey Theatre Ensemble / Los Angeles)
PIAF, WITHOUT THE PARROTING Eleanora Owen finds the heartbreak and defiance inside the Little Sparrow’s songs Édith Piaf’s life overflowed with the severest of extremities: the writhing, rapturous harmony of joyous consonances and agonized dissonances, hastened with the rapidity of a tempo that flamed out after a brief 47 years, and woven with counterpoints of…
