Review: EDDIE: THE FRIENDSHIP THAT CHANGED HISTORY At White Theatre


by Alan Portner - May 16, 2023

It is hard to imagine a tougher gig for any actor than a one-man show about an historical personage; especially in front of people who may have known that person in life or are related to him by blood.

Review: IS HE DEAD at Olathe Civic Theatre Association


by Alan Portner - May 13, 2023

Anything with the name Mark Twain on it draws a crowd.  “Twainiacs” like me will always show up.  This particular piece of Clemens’ literary output languished inside a file cabinet at the Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley for a century.   It is difficult to know what to say...

Review: MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET at New Theatre & Restaurant


by Alan Portner - May 01, 2023

Review: ANNIE at Kauffman Center


by Alan Portner - April 19, 2023

If a musical comedy could be served up as comfort food, that show would look a lot like “Annie.”  Audiences have been lapping up the sweet story of Little Orphan Annie since it opened on Broadway in 1977....

Review: THE RIPPLE, THE WAVE THAT CARRIED ME HOME at KC Rep


by Kelly Luck - March 19, 2023

Ms. Anderson’s work is an excellent example of voices that need to be heard. It takes on the segregation fight not with a high-level history book approach, but from the very ground level, the people fighting the fight and feeling the scars of battle....

Review: FORBIDDEN BROADWAY at Starlight Indoors


by Alan Portner - March 10, 2023

“Forbidden Broadway” the musical parody performs on the actual indoor stage (not the Butterfield Stage) at Starlight Theatre in Swope Park in front of an audience of about 500 wildly amused patrons.    “Forbidden Broadway” is a thorough skewering of all those Broadway shows you’ve either seen or ho...
