50+ professional voices, 5 musicians, and a programme of Alan Menken rarities performed in French for the first time. The Chœur à l'Horizon's sixth annual concert was joyful, precise, and quietly revelatory. A communal celebration of the best kind.
What did our critic think of THE WIZARD OF OZ at Broadway Palm?
Paris hit record temperatures Friday night & the Casino de Paris had no AC — but the cast of Rocky Horror Show refused to melt. Sweat-mopped floors, mid-show breaks, a crowd that cheered every return: Morgan Jackson as Rocky was nothing short of extraordinary. Theatre as it should be. 🩲👏 #RockyHorrorShow #CasinoDeParis #Paris #Canicule

Salt Lake Acting Company’s THE GASLIGHT ZONE is wondrously zany as it takes a satirical look at what’s happened locally and globally in the last year through the lens of Utah’s idiosyncrasies.
A gripping docudrama about Eleanor Kasrils's role in the anti-apartheid underground. Inventive staging, sharp performances, and a cleverly devastating argument about the absurdity of racial discrimination.
What did our critic think of THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP: A PENNY DREADFUL at Central Square Theater?
“Adult Storytime: A Caregiver's Guide to the Blues” isn't designed to make audiences cry (though you may). Instead, it celebrates resilience, connection, and the extraordinary care people extend to one another every day.
She’s a good time gal, and we need her more than ever with all the bad time boys running the world today. Let freedom ring, and let Tamarie sing! 250 years of America, and 30 of those with Tamarie out there.

What did our critic think of TEDXNASHVILE MIXTAPE at Analog?
What better way to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence than by mounting a stirring production of the musical 1776. That is just what Maine State Music Theatre has chosen to do – the only regional company in Maine to receive the rights at present - for the Sherman Edwards 1969 show that delivers a witty, riveting, deeply human and affecting account of our Founding Fathers. Directed by Amber Mak and featuring stunning cast of twenty-eight, MSMT‘s production is one of those artistic events audiences cannot afford to miss.
How does our memory distinguish the aspects of the life we live that make up our remembered life, our conscious legacy? Is the entirety of that remembered life truthful? How does it inform our relationships?What Became of Us at Signature Theatre doesn’t necessarily answer any of these questions, instead it prompts them. Through a dyadic memory play tracking two siblings of immigrant parents, this production's deep relatability stems from a unique normalcy.
NAILS: THE MUSICAL In Concert is a fabulous new Australian work that combines women’s sport with heartwarming queer coming of age stories that reinforce that life isn’t always simple.
After years in residence at The Green Room 42, Leola doesn't just still have it, she is still bringing it.
Just because the music speaks for itself in this jukebox musical, doesn't mean the stories aren't worth hearing.
FIREFLIES is a delightful little feel-good piece that gives humorous, heartwarming, and character-driven romance. It avoids high-concept sci-fi or intense melodrama in favor of a comfortable, down-to-earth, good ole story. One that is told by some of the area’s well known, admired, extremely competent and capable teams of story tellers.
