  1. Canadian couple drive modern twist on Moliere farce

    THEATER REVIEW: "The School for Lies" at Chicago Shakespeare Theater ★★★ ... 'Tis the season for sucking up at company holiday parties. Or, as Frank, the central character in David Ives' "The School for Lies" would put it, this is prime time, baby.
    'Tis the season for sucking up at company holiday parties — or, as Frank, the central character in David Ives' "The School for Lies" would put it, this is prime time, baby, for "two-faced pestilential etiquette." Perchance you indulged in a little...

  2. Chicago actress Elana Ernst Silverstein, 29

    While most of her friends at Highland Park High School were still thinking of where they were going to study, Elana Ernst Silverstein already was booking the national tour of one of Broadway's biggest hits: "Mamma Mia!". And she had a bright future on the Chicago-area stage.

  3. Shedding light on the man behind the books

    Step back, Scrooge. There's another Dickens hit in town — but only for a few days. Step lively if you want to snag a ducat before it departs.

  4. From gypsies to Mormons, the big stories of 2012

    As 2012 draws to a close, let's take a look back at the year in Chicago theater. January started with a roar — Klea Blackhurst doing Ethel Merman doing "Gypsy" at the Drury Lane Theatre. Twyla Tharp, an artist who refuses to stop reworking her material, brought her "Come Fly Away" musical to one of Frank Sinatra's favorite towns, and it turned out to be a better show than in New York, New York.

  9. A very full load of nominees for this year's Equity Jeff Awards

    Apparently confronted by a plethora of riches in the past season of Chicago theater, the Joseph Jefferson Awards Committee offered up not the traditional four or five nominees one finds at the Tony Awards, for instance, but a bevy of nominees for its annual awards. In the case of best Equity production in Chicago last year, the committee came up a whopping 18 nominees, divided between "large" and "midsized" companies. And that doesn't even include the musicals.

  10. Looking ahead to the Tony Awards: An off year for musicals, but 'Once' deserves to win

    <strong>NEW YORK &mdash;</strong> What with "Ghost,""Lysistrata Jones" and other wearying disappointments, the 2012-13 Broadway season hardly will go down as a banner year for new American musicals. Indeed, should the best-musical Tony Award go, at Sunday night's ceremony, to a show other than "Once" or "Newsies" &mdash; the only remotely viable candidates for this most important of theatrical honors &mdash; the theater chatterati will be speechless and Tweetless. For a couple of seconds.

  11. 'Iceman Cometh,' 'Follies' big Jeff Award winners

    Two of the most accomplished productions in the history of Chicago theater &mdash; "Follies" at Chicago Shakespeare Theater and "The Iceman Cometh" at the Goodman Theatre &mdash; shared top honors at the Joseph Jefferson Awards, presented Monday night at the packed Drury Lane Theatre. The six Jeffs for "Iceman" (including a best-director Jeff for Robert Falls and a best-supporting actor nod for Brian Dennehy, even though this was a role far bigger than most leads) ended the Goodman's recent drought at the annual awards honoring the best Equity-affiliated Chicago theater.
