Theater Review: IN OLD AGE (Arts Emerson with Front Porch Arts Collective)
SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE A “charming bulldozer” meets a wall of resistance Anyone who has had a home renovation knows the way a contractor can take over one’s life. Suddenly, strange men (usually men) clomp around in heavy boots in the early morning, tearing up floors and tearing down walls. There is noise and dust and…

Theater Review: CHAMPIONS OF MAGIC (Tour at Studebaker Theatre / Chicago)
TRICKS ARE FOR KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS A large-scale illusion show that never loses its personal touch Most of the magic shows I’ve been to have been small, intimate affairs, with an audience of fifty or less watching one magician perform an array of card tricks and sleights of hand. Champions of Magic, now on…

LLC VS CORPORATION: WHICH BUSINESS STRUCTURE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Starting a business in California is exciting — but before you open your doors, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right legal structure. For most entrepreneurs, the choice comes down to two popular options: a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or a Corporation. Both offer liability protection and legitimacy, but they…

FROM STAGE DRAMA TO INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT: HOW AUDIENCES SEEK NEW EXPERIENCES
For most of human history, the audience sat still. The stage moved; you watched. Then the screen replaced the stage, and you still watched. Now, for the first time, the audience can interact with the entertainment industry. This is having a big impact on the entire entertainment economy. Think about the path of the ball….

INSTANT PAYOUTS AT PINCO: What Technologies Enable Payments in Minutes?
A decade ago, cashing out meant submitting a request and checking your bank app for three days straight. Most of that lag is gone now, and sites like Pinco lean on rails that finish the job before you’ve refreshed the page twice. So what’s doing the heavy lifting underneath? The Shift that Killed the Three-Day…

Theater Review: FALL OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC… ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET (Actors Company / Hollywood Fringe Festival)
ET TU, SHOESTRING? An ambitious historical comedy collapses under its own weight— but not without flashes of promise There are many different reasons for failure. All of them sting. The Fall of the Roman Republic… On a Shoestring Budget, now striding the stage at the Actors Company’s Other Space Theatre, is a failure. But a…

Theater Review: WEST SIDE STORY (Paper Mill Playhouse / Millburn, NJ)
SOMEWHERE, STILL Paper Mill Playhouse proves that a classic doesn’t need fixing The powerful and poignant West Side Story has been retooled, tweaked, and tinkered with in the years since the original 1957 production boldly burst forth on Broadway. Not every change was for the better. For a change, those presenting the version at Paper…

Off-Broadway Review: ROMEO & JULIET (The Public Theater / Delacorte Theatre / Central Park)
BORDERING ON TRAGEDY Saheem Ali’s politically charged staging complicates Shakespeare’s timeless tale— but the young lovers still shine through This year’s Shakespeare in the Park presents the Bard’s most enduring love story, Romeo & Juliet, where bright youthful innocence collides with dark adult cynicism, and love finds itself trapped in a feud so ancient that…

EVERYTHING’S COMING UP MORMONS A campy musical mashup finds laughs, heart, and the perfect home at Prism Theatre Palm Springs’ Prism Theatre is christening its permanent home with a production of The Book of Merman, and audiences are eating it up. This gleefully irreverent musical comedy spoofs The Book of Mormon while celebrating the larger-than-life…

HOW AI VIDEO TOOLS ARE CHANGING THE WAY INDEPENDENT ARTISTS CREATE MUSIC VISUALS
For independent musicians, small theater groups, and emerging filmmakers, visual storytelling has always been powerful but difficult to produce consistently. A strong music video, a short promotional clip, or a character-driven teaser can help an audience understand the mood of a project before they hear a full song, watch a scene, or buy a ticket….

FROM IDEA TO FINAL CUT: What a Unified Video AI Generator Actually Delivers in Practice
There is a moment in every video production workflow where the creative vision outruns the available resources. You have the footage, you have the concept, but making the two meet requires either a team of specialists or a patchwork of AI tools that do not talk to each other. That gap between vision and execution…

Theater Review: OCTET (Goodman Theatre Chicago)
[Editor’s Note (June 2026): Raven Theatre’s astounding production of Octet, originally reviewed by Stage and Cinema in May, transfers intact to the Goodman Theatre for a limited engagement beginning July 15, 2026.] LOG OFF AND SING Dave Malloy’s brilliant chamber musical turns doomscrolling, loneliness, and internet addiction into something unexpectedly humane I don’t know what…

Theater Review: LEOPOLDSTADT (Writers Theatre / Glencoe, Chicagoland)
THE GHOSTS IN THE FAMILY TREE Tom Stoppard’s final play is as intellectually dazzling as it is emotionally devastating “Barbarism will not be eradicated by culture.” That line, spoken midway through Leopoldstadt, the final masterpiece by Tom Stoppard—one of the greatest playwrights of his, or any, generation—made my stomach do a flip. Merely one of…

Theater Review: BAD BOOKS (Gloucester Stage Co. / MA)
TO BAN OR NOT TO BAN Who decides what children are allowed to read? Playwrights are among the many who are struggling to reconcile the escalating conflicts among different factions of our society.

Theater Review: TRENCH (Broadwater Studio / Hollywood Fringe)
UNDER PRESSURE Ann Noble directs Ann Loud in a nicely twisted mystery set in a multi-crew submersible some 30,000 deep.

Theater Review: DAY AFTER DAY (THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF DORIS DAY) (The Broadwater Second Stage / Hollywood Fringe)
CALAMITY JANE MEETS LAS VEGAS A charming tribute delivers plenty of Doris Day favorites, even if the biography occasionally takes a back seat Day After Day (The Life and Music of Doris Day) is like a slick—very slick—lounge act, the type you’d expect to see during Vegas’s heyday. Penned by Tony Santamauro, with Christy Mauro-Cohen…

FROM STAGE TO SOUL Valentina Peleggi leads an evening that journeys from operatic spectacle to intimate confession Valentina Peleggi conducts opera for a living.
