Theater Review: GLORIA (Chance Theater)
GLORIA, HALLELUJAH! Unless you can see Gloria at The Chance Theater tonight or tomorrow, this may be a review of record, as it ran only two weeks after opening night, but I tell you this is what theater should be: unique, sharp, funny, adventurous. The author, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, continues to be one of contemporary theater’s…

Dance Review: CHOREGRAPHERS OF THE 20TH AND 21ST CENTURIES (American Ballet Theatre)
IN THE LOWER ROOM A triple bill of unconnected masterpieces showcases the best and worst of “America’s National Ballet Company” George Balanchine’s Ballet Imperial, which heads the triple bill of American Ballet Theatre’s Choreographers of the 20th and 21st Centuries program — which opened tonight at Lincoln Center’s Koch Theatre — was choreographed in 1941….

Concert Review: AN INTIMATE EVENING WITH NORM LEWIS (The Barns at Wolf Trap in VA)
NORM SETS THE STANDARD An Intimate Evening with Norm Lewis at The Barns last night was a magical journey through his musical theater career, brimming with charm, humor, and breathtaking vocals (there is one more performance tonight). The evening began with a dynamic rendition of “Don’t Rain on My Parade” followed by the gentle, hopeful…

Concert Review: AUSTRALIAN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA (U.S. Tour at Jordan Hall in Boston)
MAKING THE OLD NEW “Make it new,” Ezra Pound urged the poets of the early twentieth century. For Modernists such as T. S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, H.D., Amy Lowell, and Pound himself, making it new meant innovating to produce something never before seen or read. Yet Boston’s Celebrity Series has now brought us two concerts…

Music Review: LONDON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA (Edward Gardner, conductor; Randall Goosby, violin; The Soraya)
GOOSBY + GARDNER = GOOSEBUMPS There was a happening at The Soraya in Northridge on October 10. I call it that for three reasons: The London Philharmonic Orchestra; violinist Randall Goosby; and The Soraya itself. This strikingly beautiful concert hall on the campus of CSUN easily has the best sound of any large performance venue…

Dance & Music Review: INFERNO & BURLESQUE (American Contemporary Ballet at Television City)
ACB’S FANTASTIC JOURNEY INTO HELL-OWEEN In the same Television City soundstage that The Price is Right and The Carol Burnett Show was recorded, American Contemporary Ballet began its current season on Oct. 11 with a revival of its original works, Inferno and Burlesque. A third work, The Rite [of Spring], alternates with Inferno. Entering the…

Theater Review: I DO! I DO! (Revolution in Palm Springs)
IT DOES AND IT DOESN’T A moving exploration of one couple’s life together, I Do! I Do! is an intimate two-character Broadway musical that spans half a century as it focuses on the ups and downs of spouses Agnes and Michael — home life, childbearing, emotional quarrels, and empty-nesting. I wonder that many people have…

Theater Review: PRIMARY TRUST (Goodman Theatre)
YOUR PRIMARY CHOICE FOR GREAT THEATER. TRUST ME. The Goodman’s Chicago-premiere production of Primary Trust by Eboni Booth is everything I’ve been craving in theatre lately. Directed by Malkia Stampley, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play about loss and loneliness is intimate, dripping in empathy, but most importantly full of hope. I’ll even dare to say it’s…

Extras: INDICA VS. SATIVA: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DIFFERENT CANNABIS VARIETIES

Extras: HOW CAN SELF STORAGE BENEFIT LOCAL THEATER GROUPS?
Local theater groups often have very little space to store props, costumes, and theatrical equipment. Self-storage provides an ideal nominal resolution in a flexible way to keep everything neat until the next production. A community theater group may well store awkward set pieces or sensitive costumes without lateral flow of rehearsal spaces. In this way,…

Film Review: PIECE BY PIECE (Directed by Morgan Neville)

Broadway Review: OUR TOWN (Ethel Barrymore)
WHOSE TOWN IS IT ANYWAY? Long before there was a Sheriff Taylor and a Mayberry (google it) there was a Stage Manager and a Grover’s Corners. Thornton Wilder’s classic paean to small-town life centering on that bucolic New Hampshire enclave first premiered on Broadway in 1938. Since its initial run, Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play Our…

Theater Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO (National Tour, Pantages)
YOUR GREAT ADVENTURE AWAITS If you rearrange the letters of “progeria,” you can get “opera rig,” or “rigor ape,” or “prior age.” That last one is befitting. Progeria is an incredibly rare syndrome that causes people to age faster than normal. Though the turmoil of high school, a troubled home, and growing up in New…

Theater Review: ROBBIN, FROM THE HOOD (Road Theatre)
A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money. — W. C. Fields I highly recommend the World Premiere of Robbin, From the Hood, which opened last Friday at Road Theatre. It is playwright Marlow Wyatt’s creative protest to American capitalism. It’s entertaining and timely with surprising plot twists. In Wyatt’s re-imagined tale, corporate…

Theater Review: HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE (AGAIN) (Steep Theatre at Steppenwolf’s 1700 Theater in Chicago)
AN EXTREMELY HEAVY PORTRAYAL OF ABUSE IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH It’s no secret that the Catholic Church has a sordid history of covering up sexual abuse, and many have made art on this topic to keep it in the spotlight (pun intended, as the 2015 film Spotlight is an excellent example). This is the first…

Highly Recommended Theater: SYMPHONY OF RATS (West Coast Premiere, The Wooster Group at REDCAT in Los Angeles)
In Symphony of Rats, a President of the United States has strange encounters of the phantasmagorical kind. Surrounded by his presidential aides, he plunges into a series of incidents where he meets otherworldly beings, among them a giant rat with a special message. October 18-20 & 22-23, 2024, the legendary Wooster Group transforms REDCAT in downtown L.A. into a sort of mad laboratory for their latest deliriously trippy production Symphony of Rats, directed by Elizabeth LeCompte,…
