    First Look review: The entertaining “Lottery Day” at the Goodman Theatre holds a magnifying glass to Chicago, revealing both pleasures and problems

    The qualities of theater, as opposed to other forms of art, make it uniquely suited for blurring the boundaries between art and life. Lottery Day does this particularly well.

    First Look review: “Noises Off” at the Windy City Playhouse is a wonderfully self-aware farce of a farce, brought to life by a talented ensemble

    Normally, there are one or two actors who jump out to me, but I found it so hard to isolate a specific performance. It was like the force was just flowing through a group of Jedi masters.

    First Look review: “Southern Gothic” is a uniquely interactive theatrical experience at the Windy City Playhouse

    This was by far the most unique and one of the coolest experiences I have ever been a part of. This entire show is essentially “interactive theater,” if I can even call it that.

    First Look review: The Steep Theatre’s “Birdland” is an intensely captivating exploration of the pitfalls of fame

    Birdland's exploration of the psychological impact and pain resulting from a barrier-free life is original and highly nuanced.

    First Look review: The Goodman’s “Yasmina’s Necklace” is a heartwarming love story told through a unique lens

    Yasmina’s Necklace is speckled with honest, family moments while having the ability to tackle serious themes such as racism, culture identity and prejudice.

    First Look review: Griffin Theatre’s version of “Ragtime” is a seriously unserious story of race and class in turn-of-the-century America

    Whether you like musicals or not, it would be impossible not to admit that the stage direction of Ragtime was something close to genius.

    First Look review: Shattered Globe’s “For Peter Pan on her 70th birthday” is a fun reminder that you can always be young at heart

    While the theme focuses on what it truly means to grow up, what is most enjoyable is the constant banter among the siblings.

    First Look review: Steppenwolf’s “Linda Vista” is a chilling comedy about irresponsibility and getting old

    Part of what affected me so much was the reality and rawness of it. Full of unrestrained profanity, frank discussions about the world and two fully nude sex scenes, there is something painfully honest about this performance.
