Theater

'Sister Act' is a fabulous musical you shouldn't miss. Good acting, great music, wonderful costumes, funny lines and emotionally effective scenes are all reasons you'll agree with Deloris when she sings, 'Nothing's ever gonna change that fact. I'm part of one terrific Sister Act.'

In the aftermath of a season of "identity politics," the Olivier Award-winning new play zooms in on a handful of young people whose personal identity politics happen to involve sexual orientation and gender identity, but who could stand in for any and all of us.

Milne (1882-1956) was a literary polymath who had a successful career on the London and Broadway stages in the 1920s.

With a just balance of talent and charm O'Loughlin invites us into the most intimate of nonsexual activities – and makes us comfortable doing it.

A typhoon of a performance by Sophie Melville drives toward – and justifies – a wrenching twist. Directed with just-shy-of-frantic energy by Rachel O'Riordan, Sophie Melville's Effie is a raw slice of humanity, baring her ragged soul and bringing us her milieu, a few of the people in her life, and a critical encounter with a war veteran that bends the arc of her history toward, if not justice, a kind of heroism.
