Current shows we think are hot!
Bounce, Goodman Theatre, through Aug. 10. World premiere musical comedy by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, directed by Harold Prince. Good or bad, it’s a theatrical event! Richard Kind (Spin City) and movie musical icon Jane Powell are among the stars. (Abarbanel)
Sleuth, Organic Theater through July 20. Anthony Shaffer’s 30-year-old mystery still twists its way through the darker side of human nature in this rousing production by director Ina Marlowe, who understands suspense … and our more unsavory aspects.(Reed)
Triple Goddess, Camenae Ensemble at Chase Cafe, through July 13. The play is your average family-therapy drama, lifted by star-to-be Tammy Stackpoole’s intense turn as a methadone addict whose sisters attempt to ease her through detox. (Barnidge)We All Went Down to Amsterdam, Steppenwolf Studio through July 13. See this once to figure out what’s going on beneath the surface, and again to savor actors at the top of their game in Bruce Norris’ deep, dark, metaphor-rich vision of how we struggle to be heard.
