    The Irish and How They Got That Way - Chicago - Theater Review

    You’ll probably love this if you’re of Irish heritage because of the familiarity of the songs and background message. If you’re a few generations removed or have no Irish heritage you will likely find some insight into this segment of America that makes up about 10% of the overall population. The Irish and How They Got That Way by Porchlight Theatre Company is at Ruth Page Center for the Arts, tickets are available at PorchlightMusicTheatre.org Theater review by Reno Lovison concludes with an original rendition of Danny Boy recorded live at the Roots Room.Cover photo by LaPenna.

    Confederates at Redtwist - Theater Review Podcast

    This intimate drama at Redtwist Theater in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago delivers a message of unconscious bias and institutional slavery put into motion generations ago but messages that are still very much alive and grappled with today on both sides of the racial divide. Review by Reno Lovison approximately 5 minutes. Highly recommended.

    Dance of Death - Steppenwolf Chicago - Theater Review Podcast

    Featuring an impressive, ancient, oppressive, dimly lit three story plaster and brick edifice, that apparently was a former jail, it is now the military home of a company commander and his wife located on an offshore island.  Set in Scandinavia sometime in the late 19th or early 20th Century, Alice (Kathryn Erbe) and Edgar (Jeff Perry) will soon be marking the 25TH anniversary of their mostly unhappy marriage. The structure serves as a physical representation of the couple’s own feelings of entrapment and isolation.Playwright August StrindbergAdaptor Conor McPhersonDirector Yasen PeyankovScenic Design - Collette PollardCostume Design - Ana KuzmanicLighting Design - Lee FisknessTheater Review by Reno Lovison

  8. Annie at Music Theater Works in Skokie is perfect

    21/12/2025

    Annie at Music Theater Works in Skokie is perfect

    The uplifting story of a distinctively red haired, hopelessly optimistic, depression era orphan named Annie is firmly rooted in the early 1930s where the stark contrast between the haves and have-nots was plainly evident everywhere. This was especially true in urban centers like New York City where fortunes large and small were lost in the 1929 stock market crash.
