by Jeffrey Kare - December 17, 2025

Based on Sara Gruen’s 2006 novel of the same name.

Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Dr. Phillips Center For The Performing Arts


by Albert Gutierrez - December 17, 2025

One of the most effective things the musical gains by moving from page to screen to stage is permission to reframe the story without betraying it. By leaning harder into the Curtis brothers as the emotional spine, the musical clarifies a distinction that’s always been present in the text but rarely ...

Review: JACK AND THE BEANSTALK, Festival Theatre


by Natalie O'Donoghue - December 17, 2025

Review: AN EVENING WITH RENÉE ELISE GOLDSBERRY AND THE SEATTLE SYMPHONY at Benaroya Hall


by Shelley Dean - December 16, 2025

A night at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall is always worth it. Between the breathtaking venue and the consistently exceptional performances, the standard is undeniably high.

Review: INDIAN INK, Hampstead Theatre


by Clementine Scott - December 17, 2025

Indian Ink is not among Tom Stoppard’s greatest plays. The tale of a literary darling moving to 1930s India is awkwardly structured and hamfisted in its messages about Indian identity. Yet this revival breathes new life into the lesser-known work....

Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at The Acting Company At The Rubicon Theatre


by Evan Henerson - December 17, 2025

The company visit is a quick hit, but Risa Brainin’s production of Shakespeare’s A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM is the kind of crowd-pleasing, take-no-prisoners ex...
