The reincarnation blues
For Christopher Durang, the neurotically-charged playwright of the Unicorn Theatre's lastest play Miss Witherspoon, the stage is a second home; his comedies put his characters in situations as absurd and frightening as an hour at a psychoanalyst's couch set up in a confessional.

Retro confection: "Fruitcake" is yummy
When the Heartland Men's Chorus rolled out a kitchen set complete with the late Julia Child (played to perfection by Ron Williams) I knew I was in for a treat. The tasty piece "Fruitcake" was a fascinating mix of musical ingredients sung by the different sections of the Choir, overlapping in cannon. Sung together with "Christmas is Delicious" and "It's the Most Fattening Time of the Year," I ate it all up with a spoon.
A few honest moments of Christmas
In this day and age, it's difficult to find entertainment that truly touches the heart. "A Spectacular Christmas" presented by Musical Theatre Heritage may just be one of those rare gems.
KC Civic Opera revives a holiday favorite
The liturgical opera "The Wise Women" is billed as a mystery fable by Conrad Susa. In his own words, the composer describes it as “high church redesigned by the littlest angel.” There is a definite Anglican sensibility in the opera’s use of children, shepherds, angels and the holy family, but there is a twist. These wise women have voices, and they use them.
"A Christmas Story" has Broadway on its wish list
After the Kansas City Repertory Theatre's 29-year run of performing "A Christmas Carol," Eric Rosen, in only his 2nd full season as its artistic director, deserves a theatric medal of valor for breaking with three decades of tradition to stage this new musical.
Giving thanks for small blessings
In the Coterie Theatre's new production of "Little House on the Prairie," big questions are asked.
My heart finds Christmas
"This show is about light," says director J. Kent Barnhart. "And about Christmas, about all of the different meanings it has for each one of us."
Christmas is "On the Air" at AHT
Christmas lights and garland decorate the American Heartland Theatre lobby, leaving no doubt of the impending Holidays despite the warm November evening.
Taffeta for the Holidays
The Chestnut Fine Arts Center is presenting "A Taffeta Christmas." a musical revue that features Christmas songs and golden oldies.
