There was a time when the theater curtain separated the performer from the audience, defining a clear boundary between art and participation. Today, that curtain is gone.

Off-Broadway Review: TARTUFFE (André De Shields at House of the Redeemer)
ANDRÉ DE SHIELDS THE REDEEMER André De Shields should be a landmark; for over six decades, he has towered over the worlds of theatre, film, and television with the kind of presence that cannot be imitated.

Theater Review: DUTCHMAN (Trap Door Theater)
ON THE THIRD RAIL: STRONG ACTORS KEEP THIS DUTCHMAN FLYING The Trap Door Theatre is a quintessential Chicago storefront theatre — it’s housed in a converted garage, accessed through a narrow walkway, almost invisible from the street — that has built its reputation on offbeat, experimental productions.
