Review: 'Come From Away' is a Love Letter to Humanity in Crisis

Imagine a world in which 7,000 refugees from all over the globe appear on North American shores in a single day and instead of being turned away or treated like criminals for simply being displaced, they are welcomed with open arms, given food, clothing, and shelter.

Artist Profile: Ladislav Hanka

Ladislav Hanka was born in America, the son of Czechoslovakian immigrants. If his parents seem to have emerged from another time, it’s because they did; while automobiles were not unknown in Czechoslovakia, only the rich owned them. Most people rode horse-drawn buggies.

Review: ‘Rock of Ages’ at Civic Keeps Nostalgia Fresh

Orthodoxy tells us that hair metal was an aberration: a dragon, crude and swollen, who reigned over our radio waves until the knights of grunge slayed him.

Review: 'Jesus Christ Superstar' Finds Clarity in Simplicity at Circle Theatre

On October 24, 1971, The New York Times published a review of Jesus Christ Superstar by Walter Kerr. Kerr had enjoyed the concept album, released a year before, but found the stage production bizarre and unappealing.

Artist Profile: Chapel of Ghouls

When you see Nick Hartman’s work under the alias Chapel of Ghouls, the message is clear: Life is hard. Live it to the fullest. While always fascinated by art, especially music and film, he didn’t necessarily see himself as an artist. But a series of tragic deaths and visits to the hospital throughout his youth later bubbled up in the form of panic attacks, and also as an interest in the dark side of life—goth culture, horror movies, metal music and beyond.

Review: Fun and Farce Abound in 'Girls' Weekend' at Circle Theatre

It’s been said that nearly 88% of private book clubs are all-female, a fact that likely wouldn’t surprise Dot, Meg, Carol, and Ellie, the four women who gather in a Minnesotan cabin in Karen Schaeffer’s play Girls’ Weekend (onstage at Circle Theatre through August 23rd). They’re there to discuss their latest read—well, that’s the plan, anyway. But this is a farce, and farces mean complications.

Review: Powerful and Full of Talent, 'Waitress' is Delightfully Bittersweet

“Sugar. Butter. Flour.” are the primary ingredients of any good pie, we’re reminded throughout Waitress: The Musical, as the words are the sung heartbeat of this marvelous show with exactly the right ingredients to make something far more creative and delicious than the mixture of its parts at Saugatuck Center for the Arts.
