The Fantasticks

The longest-running play in American history gives off an unfresh odor

My Ántonia

Willa Cather would not have been happy with this adaptation of her novel

It Had to Be You

A crowd-pleasing comedy that doesn't strain any brain cells

Mata Hari

The famous spy was a fascinating woman, so why is this play so dull?

Lines of the Times

Shaw's 70-year-old Apple Cart still has plenty to say about modern-day democracy, globalization, and corporate scams

Selling Their Souls

The characters of a first- time playwright choose their own slavery

Heaven

A white human rights lawyer becomes cynical about his career

Only a Scratch

Interesting questions lack resolution in this otherwise nimbly written play

Joe Louis Blues

Story Hour

Out There The Business

Death Trap

A fine ensemble of actors can't save The Shadow Box; a deadly dull Galaxy
