Suburban man the standby star of 'Book of Mormon' May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
Eight times a week, Rob Colletti goes down to the Bank of America Theatre in Chicago, warms up his vocals, sits in the dressing room while the hit musical "The Book of Mormon" is performed, and then goes home. Colletti, a Wheaton native, is the standby for the lead role of the nerdy but lovable Elder Cunningham. And, "it's been incredible," he said.

Village Theatre Guild to stage avant-garde ‘Next Fall’ May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
The theater, perhaps more than any art form, is prone to explore topics that are both contemporary, relevant and controversial. In "Next Fall," the Village Theatre Guild's newest production opening May 24, no less than two provocative themes are the basis of the playwright's storytelling: gay relationships and fundamentalist religion.

Goodman’s ‘Vera Stark’ falls short of potential May 10, 2013 12:00 AM
The subject of Lynn Nottage's "By The Way, Meet Vera Stark" — an examination of racism in 1930s Hollywood — is certainly ripe for satire. The comedy is broad and the dialogue is funny. But Nottage's uneven dramedy about a fictional African American actress trying to break into the movies never comes together in a way that entirely satisfies.

Buffalo Theatre Ensemble's 'Trumbo' a portrait of the artist as a patriot May 9, 2013 12:00 AM
Not a lot happens over the course of "Trumbo-Red, White & Blacklisted" — the two-hander about Dalton Trumbo, the blacklisted screenwriter responsible for "Spartacus," "Roman Holiday," "Papillon" and "Lonely Are the Brave" — running at Buffalo Theatre Ensemble in Glen Ellyn. More of a portrait than a play, this theatrical event unfolds as a series of monologues which reveal through Trumbo's own words, the convictions that led to his incarceration and the talent that made him a legend.

Silence for the queen, please. A troupe of street drummers got a shock when Helen Mirren, dressed as Queen Elizabeth II, emerged from a London theater to berate them for disrupting her show. Mirren told the Daily Telegraph newspaper that she used less-than-royal language in the rant during the intermission of Saturday's performance.

Young stars shine in Writers' 'Yellow Moon' May 3, 2013 12:00 AM
Late in "Yellow Moon," a desperate teenage boy — played with feverish authenticity by Josh Salt — contemplates a terrible act. Unfolding as the Writers' Theatre production does — without props, on a bare-bones set at the back of a Glencoe bookstore — the cringe-inducing scene testifies to the prowess of director Stuart Carden's fine cast. David Greig's visceral, propulsive drama is a breakneck combination coming-of-age, lovers-on-the-lam tale.
