Wait, is this even theatre? Should it be listed somewhere else? The facts are: It's a professional audio performance accessed through the internet; it's dramatically funny (or funnily dramatic); it's from theatre powerhouse Jarrott Productions. Especially because of that last thing, here is where we're pimping this Carlo Lorenzo Garcia-scripted work about how "in 1969, in rural Illinois, private investigator Labinowicz documented on micro-cassette tapes his investigations into a series of unexplained pet deaths over the course of 20 years."

"Einstein and Picasso walk into a bar … " encapsulates this intellectual (but also goofy) comedy by Steve Martin, presented here by City Theatre. Featuring Wray Crawford, Tom Swift, Anne Hulsman, Timothy Allen, Holley Garrison, Kyle Romero, Joshua Nunez, Payton Trahan, Angelina Castillo, and Sebastian Garcia. Oh, and here's what our critic thought of the show.

This dynamic new work of theatre unfolds with humor, dance, and music, weaving concepts from the African Diaspora and style of jazz aesthetics into stories of growing up as a Blerd (Black Nerd) child of the Nineties. Written and performed by Valoneecia Tolbert, directed by Florinda Bryant, it's a bold and bright and silly and fierce show of creative power.

Here is Dave Steakley's reimagining of the beloved musical classic – with its Tony-, Grammy-, and Oscar-winning score – that brings the Von Trapp family singers to life upon Zach Scott Theatre's Topfer stage, a stage now transformed into a lively biergarten.

Based on the 1992 motion picture, Disney’s Newsies features a score Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Harvey Fierstein. Inspired by the real-life Newsboy Strike of 1899, when newsboy Kid Blink led a band of orphan and runaway “newsies” on a two-week action against Pulitzer, Hearst, and other powerful newspaper publishers, this adaptation is high-energy and replete with eight new songs – in addition to many of the beloved songs from the film version. Directed by Joey Banks, with musical direction by Beth Everett.
