Theater Review: UNTITLED VAMPIRE PLAY (Lookingglass / Chicago)
SUCKING FACE Chemistry, comedy, and a little bloodlust make for an irresistible evening. Is there a quality more indefinable and unpredictable than the chemistry between two people, whether in real life or on stage or screen? It cannot be predicted by mien, talent, or secondary sexual characteristics. It’s either there or it isn’t. And in…

Theater Review: THE DOG LOG (The Style Den / Marina Del Rey)
FROM BARK TO HEART A barking-dog complaint grows into something far more interesting I have been a fan of Richard Lucas since I reviewed his short, humorous, autobiographical novel The Dog Log, which chronicles life next door to two constantly yapping Yorkies and their hoarding, annoying owner as told through the device of a “dog…

Theater Review: THE RISE AND FALL OF LITTLE VOICE (Backyard Renaissance Theatre Company / Tenth Avenue Arts Center / San Diego)
SPEAK SOFTLY AND CARRY A BIG SONG Megan Carmitchel delivers a knockout performance in Backyard Renaissance’s latest gem During a recent move, I handed down dozens of DVDs.

Theater Review: CATCH AS CATCH CAN (Steppenwolf Theatre Company / Chicago)
GETTING CAUGHT UP WHEN THERE’S A CATCH A baffling experiment eventually reveals a powerful emotional core Why? That one-word refrain was what repeatedly popped up in my head through most of the first hour of Mia Chung‘s Catch as Catch Can, the final production of Steppenwolf’s mostly excellent 50th season. The show features three actors—two…

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…

FROM STAGE DRAMA TO INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT: HOW AUDIENCES SEEK NEW EXPERIENCES

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…

Cabaret Review: BACK TO BARBRA (Melissa Errico / 54 Below / New York City)
A SUAVE, STREISAND- CENTRIC SOIGNÉE SOIRÉE Errico eloquently echoes superstar Streisand with style Musical mega-talents cast long shadows.

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.

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…
