Theater Review: GOOD NIGHT, OSCAR (North Coast Repertory Theatre / Solana Beach)
WELL ABOVE PAAR FOR THE COURSE David Corlew gives a gripping performance as Oscar Levant in this darkly funny and increasingly tense backstage drama To put it mildly, Oscar Levant, the brilliant mid-century pianist known equally for his Oscar Wilde-like wit (“I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin”), wasn’t a happy-go-lucky kind of…

Off-Broadway Review: ARIAS WITH A TWIST (HERE Arts Center / NYC)
WHEN DREAMS GET A SECOND ACT Nearly two decades later, Joey Arias and Basil Twist’s downtown fantasia returns with its imagination, naughtiness, and joyful strangeness intact Back in 2008, when iPhones were a year old and Instagram might’ve been a cookie mix, Arias With A Twist burst onto the downtown New York theater scene. Part…

Theater Review: INTO THE WOODS (South Coast Repertory / Costa Mesa)
WISHING FOR MORE Beautiful voices aren’t enough to cast the spell this Sondheim classic demands It seems like there’s always a production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Into the Woods running nearby.

CINEMA INFLUENCES SLOVAK AUDIENCES TO DISCOVER DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT
Cinema still shapes leisure habits in Slovakia, even when the screen in front of someone is a phone on a train to Košice. A film trailer teaches rhythm. A chase scene teaches tension. A comedy teaches timing. Those patterns follow viewers into streaming apps, mobile games, sports clips, and casino-style platforms, where short scenes and…

Theater Review: LEGALLY BLONDE (Berkeley Playhouse / Berkeley)
BEND, SNAP, AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF Berkeley Playhouse gives Elle Woods plenty of energy, heart, and high-octane dancing in a buoyant musical about refusing to be underestimated Berkeley Playhouse opens its 2026–27 season with Legally Blonde: The Musical, the stage adaptation of the popular 2001 movie starring Reese Witherspoon.

Theater Review: MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM (Round House Theatre / Bethesda, MD)
THE BLUES MEAN BUSINESS A superb ensemble brings August Wilson’s recording studio to life as music, ambition, and exploitation collide There is something almost intoxicating, and ultimately suffocating, about being inside the recording studio with the musicians in Round House Theatre’s production of August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Music, laughter and teasing fill the…
-
Theater Review: TEXAS SODOMY (Whitefire Theatre / Sherman Oaks)
A LANDMARK CASE GETS THE SITCOM TREATMENT A pivotal civil-rights case deserves sharper comedy and deeper drama than Howard Skora’s overstuffed retelling provides On September 17, 1998, a 911 caller claiming there was a weapons disturbance sent police into John Lawrence’s Houston apartment. Officers arrested Lawrence and Tyrone Garner under a Texas law criminalizing sex…

LIBERTY, IN ALL ITS CONTRADICTIONS Wynton Marsalis brings jazz and symphonic traditions together in a sweeping portrait of an America still wrestling with the meaning of freedom It was one of those beautiful September evenings at Wolf Trap when the night air seems to become part of the performance. Under the open sky at the…

Theater Review: HANGMEN (Long Beach Playhouse)
GUILT IS SOMEONE ELSE’S BUSINESS Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy makes murder a profession, morality a technicality, and laughter increasingly uncomfortable Martin McDonagh’s Hangmen opens with a man about to be hanged and everyone fussing over procedure. It is 1963. James Hennessy insists the police have the wrong man. His executioner, Harry Wade, is unmoved. Harry…

Theater Review: THE HUMANITIES (Victory Gardens Theater / Chicago)
FIVE MONOLOGUES IN SEARCH OF A PLAY A sharp, funny satire of academia wrestles with difficult questions—and nearly gets derailed by its sexual detours They’re back!

-
Theater Review: BEGIN AGAIN (World Premiere Musical / The Old Globe / San Diego)

-
Theater Review: MARISOL (Open Fist Theatre Company / Los Angeles)
WHEN THE APOCALYPSE LOSES ITS MAGIC José Rivera’s surreal vision of a world coming apart demands theatrical daring that this earthbound revival rarely delivers What would you do if you lived in the Bronx, God went senile, and your guardian angel left you to fight him with the other angels? This is the scenario of…

Theater Review: THE VISIT (Pasadena Playhouse)
A TOWN LEARNS WHAT IT’S WORTH Darko Tresnjak’s blistering production watches Güllen purchase its way toward murder When the Burgomaster (mayor) of Güllen rises in his most solemn civic register and declares that his town would rather starve than have blood on its hands, Claire Zachanassian lets the speech hang.

Cabaret Review: JEFF HARNAR – THE 1959 BROADWAY SONGBOOK (Birdland / New York)
A VERY GOOD YEAR Someone should carve a statue to this delightful performer If the world of cabaret ever got around to having someone carve its own equivalent of Mount Rushmore, the smiling face of singer Jeff Harnar might well be one of the heads in stone. After all, he’s carved out quite a long…
-
Theater Review: A CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD (Rogue Machine / Los Angeles)
THE HUMAN INTEREST RATE A deeply affecting production makes its unrelieved sadness difficult to shake Kierkegaard shows up late in Samuel D.
