A Leader in theatre commentary since 2014
“It is being reported that during last night’s performance of ‘Cabaret,’ an audience member walked up to the stage and grabbed star Eddie Redmayne. The audience member was removed by theatre security.”
‘Crazy Rich Asians’ is headed to the stage. It was announced today that a stage musical adaptation of the hit film is being developed by the film’s director, Jon M. Chu.
“A former Metro Nashville Public Schools drama teacher has been charged with aggravated sexual battery of a minor following a grand jury indictment.”
“Theatre students from New Orleans’ Benjamin Franklin High School traveled to Baton Rouge on March 27 to protest several anti-LGBTQ+ bills up for consideration by the Republican-controlled House and Senate.”
“Last night or yesterday afternoon, you finished your final performance of a show. You had an incredible run, the cast was fantastic, and the performances were some of the most memorable times of your life. But now you're miserable, and you know this weekend will only get worse.”
Many of us work full-time jobs, what I refer to as a vocation to support our avocations. I can’t tell you how many times people ask me after seeing a show or hearing I am in a show, “How much do you get paid for doing this?” Of course, in community theatre, the answer is nothing. The look of surprise on their faces is astounding.
