    Steep Theatre readies its new Edgewater home (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Another new theater is coming to Chicago’s Far North Side, this one with the help of much foundation support and an unusually generous $4 million in City of Chicago funding. It will be located inside a former Christian Science Reading Room at 1044 W. Berwyn Ave., just up the street from TimeLine Theatre’s impressive new building. Steep Theatre will soon take up residence in its more modest, $7 million home as it prepares for its first major production there in January — Simon Stephens’ “A Slow F

    Chicago Theater Report: Carrie Coon sings Christmas, ‘Come From Away’ adds shows and Milwaukee Rep makes bank (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Fans of longtime Chicago actress Carrie Coon have the chance to hear her sing about Santa and such, which feels a tad counterintuitive, to say the least. Coon is part of “Voices of The Gilded Age: The Christmas Album,” a spinoff from the popular HBO drama in which Coon stars. Perchance husband Tracy Letts will guest as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The Milwaukee Repertory Theater has announced a big infusion of endowment cash. Thanks to a so-called “challenge gift” from major donors Ellen and

    Lookingglass Theatre has appointed David Catlin, a longtime ensemble member and a Northwestern University faculty member, and Ericka Ratcliff, most recently the literary manager at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, as its new co-artistic directors. They replace Kasey Foster, who has completed a three-year term. Meanwhile, Philip R. Smith, a longtime Lookingglass ensemble member and leader with decades of commitment to the company, is leaving his development role at Writers Theatre in Glencoe to becom

    Review: ‘School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play’ on Broadway finds its life in the girls (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    NEW YORK — Sometimes you need to see two different productions of a show to understand the value of a truly inspiring stage director who can take a narratively predictable script and turn it into a total blast. Such was the case for me with “School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play,” a cumbersomely titled moral comedy from Jocelyn Bioh that the director Whitney White has transformed into a profoundly optimistic Broadway celebration of girlhood. The show now possesses a spirit so exuberant a

    Review: ‘Topdog/Underdog’ at Steppenwolf Theatre reveals itself as an American tragedy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I deeply admired Kenny Leon’s Broadway staging of Suzan-Lori Parks’ “Topdog/Underdog” in 2022 because the veteran director emphasized the humor and humanity in what is indisputably among the very best American plays of the last 25 years. It’s a symbolically weighty drama that often finds itself squelched by overly academic productions; Leon, working with the producer David Stone and the actors Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Corey Hawkins, cut away all pretentiousness, foregrounded its bravura acting
