    ‘The Front Page’: Reporters’ Romance, Onstage (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    EVANSTON, Ill.—It was a time in which there was no television, no internet, no cable, and no computers. Radio was in its early days, but it was only for entertainment. In the 1920s, the print newspaper was the primary source of daily news. This was a world in which correspondents pounded away on heavy mechanical typewriters, editors yelled out demands, and reporters shouted into telephones. Getting the story out before your competitor did mattered more than anything. The news business was so agg

    Chicagoland Welcomes the Musical ‘Come From Away,’ Honoring Community and Humanity (opens the original)

    LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.—When one first learns that on the 25th anniversary of Sept. 11 a theater company is presenting a work that recalls events that took place at the time of that shocking, horrible event, one might easily expect the show to be depressing and painful. But “Come From Away,” now in an exceptional revival at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, Illinois, is just the opposite.

    Chicagoland Brings a Tale of Civilizing the Wild West to Life With ‘Shane’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Western motion pictures were originally short, fast-paced, simple. Morality was obvious, with heroes in white hats and villains in black. When “Shane” arrived in 1953, it was a turning point that reshaped Western films. Its director George Stevens elevated the genre into an artistic, complex, and mythic American drama.

    A Timeless Masterpiece: Music Theater Works Delivers an Electrifying ‘West Side Story’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    SKOKIE, Ill.—When director and choreographer Jerome Robbins first came up with the idea of modernizing Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” for a stage musical, he envisioned a conflict between Jews and Catholics on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. He enlisted Arthur Laurents to write the book, Leonard Bernstein to compose the music, and Stephen Sondheim to write the lyrics. The project was called off, though, when that creative team realized that the plot felt too similar to other plays like “Abie’s Ir

    Echoes of History in Tom Stoppard’s Masterwork (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The play premiered in 2020 in London’s West End, went on to Broadway in 2022, and is now in a moving, mesmerizing production in its Chicago regional premiere at the Writers Theatre in Glencoe, Illinois. “Leopoldstadt” stands out as Stoppard’s most eloquent and intimate masterwork. It marks an insightful shift from his previous clever plays, such as “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” (1966), “Jumpers” (1972), “Travesties” (1974), “The Real Thing” (1982), “Arcadia” (1993), “The Coast of Utopi
