Review: DIANA at Theo Ubique


by Misha Davenport - June 02, 2025

Review: SWEET CHARITY at Blank Theatre Company


by Zac Thriffiley - May 21, 2025

Despite a few growing pains and a rushed finale, SWEET CHARITY is a great vehicle for the cast’s charming female lead and further evidence that Blank attracts some of the best young musical talent in the city while pushing the envelope of what Chicago storefront theater can accomplish....

Review: THE ANTIQUITIES at Goodman Theatre


by Rachel Weinberg - May 15, 2025

Jordan Harrison’s new play THE ANTIQUITIES asks the question, “What does it mean to be human?” It opens with two museum curators inviting the audience to tour a museum displaying relics from the late human era...with the implication that said place exists in a post-human one.

Review: HYMN at Chicago Shakespeare Theater


by Zac Thriffiley - May 07, 2025

Review: THE BOOK OF GRACE at Steppenwolf Theatre Company


by Rachel Weinberg - April 07, 2025

I usually appreciate when plays show and don’t tell, but THE BOOK OF GRACE really needs more exposition. Directed by Steve H. Broadnax III. Steppenwolf’s production is a new version of Parks’s 2010 play, expanded from its original 100-minute run-time to two and a half hours. Even with the extra run ...
