Theater

Concrete Temple Theatre's new one-act is a well-played Southern gothic in the vein of Tennessee Williams with a magic-realism edge.

The story of 'Beauty World' is dated, predictable and uninteresting, and the music is not memorable. But good singing and funny dialogue make this revival worth checking out.

Jake is an actor who has it all: success, wealth, fame, women, misery. Deborah is a devout Christian actress who feels God's presence. When these opposites meet, the explosion is inevitable.

Magic is literally in the air at the Woodlawn this holiday season with its terrific production of the beloved Broadway musical.

Of what worth is a marriage, if its foundation is based on social pretensions and it is kept "alive" with hypocrisy and lies?

When sexual abuse allegations are brought against a promising political candidate, a fire storm erupts. As questions deepen and Social Media fuels the flames, his own campaign team unravels under the tensions of the growing crisis.

Great voices and staging but uninspired acting and unmemorable songs make this production a mixed bag.

'Totem'is a story about man's relationship with nature, as well as with the flora and fauna around us. As with most Cirque du Soleil productions, there isn't a solid narrative, which some might find problematic if you're looking for a logical plot. Rather, imagery and connotative stories take centre stage.

'Totem' is a non-chronological journey through man’s evolution from swamp creature to cosmonaut.

For a modern theatrical audience who goes to the theatre to be entertained by a story rather than by a message, 'Battlefield' isn't going to satisfy easily. On the other hand, if you are someone who goes to the theatre to marvel at the language and meaning found in dialogue, this is a play you shouldn't miss.
