Broadway Review: LITTLE BEAR RIDGE ROAD (Booth)
WHERE LONELINESS ECHOES AND CONSTELLATIONS ARE CALLING She gets up at dawn and is asleep by eight. She lives alone and doesn’t like people. Nobody at the hospital (where she’s worked for forty years) likes her. She watches TV and complains non-stop. In short, she’s thoroughly disagreeable. But what can you do if she’s your…

Theater Review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (North American Premiere Tour at The Ahmanson Theatre)
CAN HORROR WORK ONSTAGE? PARANORMAL ACTIVITY MAKES ITS CASE I imagine most people’s response to hearing that Paranormal Activity has been turned into a stage play is a raised eyebrow—doubt mixed with intrigue. How is that going to work? Horror—especially supernatural horror—isn’t a genre you often find in theatre. It thrives in film, where the…

Theater Review: DEATHTRAP (MadKap Productions at Skokie Theatre)
MURDER, MAYHEM, AND A MANUSCRIPT TO DIE FOR Sometimes uncontrollable forces work in your favor. How fortunate then for MadKap productions that on the opening night of their production of Ira Levin’s Deathtrap, Chicago was plunged with little warning into its first winter storm of the season, with sub-zero temperatures, gale-force winds, and heavy snow….
-
Off-Broadway Review: RICHARD II (Red Bull Theater at Astor Place Theater)
GLAMOUR BEFORE THE FALL A pansexual Richard II struts through power, pleasure, and ruin in the 1980s In its current staging at the Astor Place Theatre, Red Bull Theater serves up a Richard II for 2025 with lots of flash and style (some over substance). Director Craig Baldwin, who also adapted Shakespeare’s history play, leans…

HORROR MOVIE RECOMMENDATION: A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
Movies without some horror feel like Christmas without lights. You can watch each and every genre. But the night doesn’t kick in until a scary film plays on the screen. And if I had to pick one film for that eerie build-up – it would be A Nightmare on Elm Street. Wes Craven’s 1984 classic…

Theater Review: SUPERIOR DONUTS (TheArtistic Home at The Den Theatre)
GO ON AND BITE INTO THIS DONUT– YOU’VE EARNED IT It must have been quite a shock to Tracy Letts fans when Superior Donuts premiered at Steppenwolf in 2008.

Opera Review: FRA DIAVOLO (Pacific Opera Project)
A Night with a Gentleman Thief: Pacific Opera Project’s Delightful Fra Diavolo Daniel Auber’s Fra Diavolo amassed over 900 performances at the Opéra Comique during the 19th century before being dropped from the repertoire in 1907.

Feature Story: RAYMOND MUNRO (On Adapting Works by Raymond Carver into Story Theatre on Film)
Raymond Munro (photo by Stephen DiRado) TWO RAYS UNITE IN A JOURNEY OF STORY THEATRE Theatre, by its nature, is ephemeral. That is part of its allure, and part of what we love about it. It forces us into the here and now- ever changing and ever present. We are also keenly aware of the…

Theater Review: AMERIKA OR, THE MAN WHO DISAPPEARED (Open Fist Theatre Company)
THIS WAY TO THE AMERICAN DREAM– MIND THE TRAP DOORS Kafka’s story still needs an ending, but Open Fist delivers a wildly inventive Amerika If you think America is in an existential crisis right now, you either don’t know your U.S. history, or you aren’t familiar with Franz Kafka’s Amerika or, The Man Who Disappeared—which, in Dietrich…

SHARP CAST, BLUNT SATIRE A Fierce Ensemble Fights for Meaning in Angry Fags Topher Payne’s Angry Fags first made its appearance in 2015, in a world that was decidedly different from what it is now, and Ghostlight Ensemble’s new production at the Lifeline Theatre in Rogers Park is timely.
