  • 2011 | Best Play

    At just more than three hours long, Tracy Letts's Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning August: Osage County is ferocious playwriting at its best. Elaborate and epic in its operatic scope, the emotionally charged and darkly funny play puts family psychodrama center stage. As a result, the unflinching view of a dysfunctional family forced to deal with some thorny baggage packs a palpable punch. It boasted an outstanding cast and a mercurial performance by Annette Miller, who portrayed family... More »

  • 2011 | Best Actor

    Gary Marachek is a whole actor. He acts with his voice, his shoulders, his extraordinarily malleable face, and his quick fingers and feet. He acts so completely and with such acute physical instincts that his whole body seems to change shape from role to role. In 2007's La Cage aux Folles, he appeared rotund and with shortened arms, resembling a flamboyant tyrannosaur. As Fagin in Oliver!, Marachek became spindly -- the miserly thief-master's nervous, calculating intelligence reflected... More »

  • 2011 | Best Director

    A three-act, three-hour Pulitzer Prize-winning play featuring 13 actors tasked with embodying all the wrenching emotions of a monstrously dysfunctional family while displaying great comedic timing and unyielding stamina is a huge undertaking. Yet director David Arisco was more than up for the job when Actors' Playhouse brought Tracy Lett's emotionally charged August: Osage County to the Miracle Theatre stage. A darkly funny and epic play, August tells the tale of the Westons, a large family... More »

  • 2009 | Best Costume Design

    Costume quality, more than any other aspect of theater, is determined by money. If you've got a lot of it, you can dress your actors as cats, French aristocracy, Queen Elizabeth, or anything else. If you don't have any, you dress them in corduroy and denim. So let's take a moment to praise a decision that had almost nothing to do with money, though it was made in service of a production with plenty of money to throw around. To wit: to dress Shane R. Tanner in tights that were ever so... More »

  • 2008 | Best Musical

    Huge sets, great singing, fun and intricate dancing -- Urinetown had all of that, and we salute it. Generally, though, we also like our shows full of ideas, novelty, craziness, and weirdness -- again, all of which Urinetown had in excess. Urinetown is not a happy musical -- Mark Holman and Glen Hotis's piece begins with a sad premise and ends with what might be the extinction of the human race -- but it ekes more fun, surprise, and joy out of its gloom than most musicals...

  • 2008 | Best Costume Design

    Ellis Tillman's work at Actors' Playhouse this year was subtle and awe-inspiring. The vaguely ill-fitting, vaguely daft duds on the members of the Altar Boyz seemed to reflect the awkwardness of their stock poses. Martha Mitchell's expensively lurid ensemble in Martha Mitchell Calling spoke of old-school classiness trying to get along in a world where everything comes cheaper by the day. And in Urinetown, the mere cut of Cherlyn Franco's potato-sack dress captured the feeling of dumb youth... More »

  • 2007 | Best Supporting Actress

    Marcus Davis is not, in fact, an "actress," nor is he even a woman. It doesn't matter. From the moment he stepped to the footlights at the Actor's Playhouse in its production of La Cage aux Folles as "Jacob," a maid/butler done up in lurid soubrette-cum-Mozart drag, he established himself as the most blazingly, supernaturally charismatic female force anybody had seen in a long while. In other productions of La Cage, there has been a tendency for actors playing Jacob to let the script do the... More »

    A Girls' Guide to WrestleMania XXVIII

    By Kathleen Elise | Fri, March 30, 2012

    We're going to go out on a limb and say that the WWE is not the most female-friendly sports organization. Crowds at televised events clearly consist of more men than women; half of the female wrestler... More »

    Next to Normal at Actors' Playhouse through February 12

    By Chris Joseph | Thu, January 26, 2012

    Next to Normal at the Miracle Theatre: Next to Good, but Needs Major Tune-Ups

    By Camille Lamb | Sat, January 21, 2012

    After attending the Actors' Playhouse premiere of Next to Normal at the Miracle Theatre, I can see why the musical won the Pulitzer for drama in 2010. The writing of the show is magnificent; every int... More »

    Songs of Psychiatry

    By Camille Lamb | Thu, January 12, 2012

    Just stroll the halls of the local asylum, and the mellifluous yet deranged cries of the psych patients are sure to convince you that music and mental illness were simply made to go together. In any case, that's the idea Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey ... More »

    Event Review: Lip Service

    | Tue, September 27, 2011

    I love Lips because we're trying to build community around true stories--everyone's stories, from writers to FedEx drivers. In past shows, we've featured teachers and lawyers and single moms and comedians and book store buyers and prosecutors and Marielitos and gay boys and recovering junkies and born again Christians. And after the shows, everyone likes each other. We're kind of utopian like that. Check us out: www.LipServiceStories.com.
