Florida Studio Theatre extends the run of the popular musical comedy, Little Shop of Horrors, due to audience demand.

Stars are awesome and they are stars for a reason, but this show was a reminder that theatrical experiences are ones that immerse you in a story and take your mind from the cares of the world if only for a moment. That experience is exactly what you will get if you go see FST’s rendition of this classic musical.

What did our critic think of THE NOTEBOOKS OF LEONARDO DA VINCI at Shakespeare Theatre Company?

Rarely do I see theater that feels truly unique, but Mary Zimmerman's THE NOTEBOOKS OF LEONARDO DA VINCI at Goodman Theater is indeed unlike any other piece of theater.

Nearly 30 years after its acclaimed premiere, one of the most popular works in Goodman Theatre history opens tonight in the Owen Theatre in a major revival—and will be available to view online next month!

Goodman Theatre is now presenting their major revival of Mary Zimmerman’s The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci—three decades after the play premiered in the Goodman’s Studio Series (at the Art Institute of Chicago).

In MISS BENNET: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY, Gunderson partners with her friend Margot Melcon and lends a righteous voice to Mary Bennet, the third child of the Bennet household in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. In the duo's amusing account, Mary comes of age in a way Austen enthusiasts ought to appreciate -- no longer the stodgy middle child consigned to a pedantic existence, but a woman of substance deserving of social recognition and romance.
