		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED There have been at least two musical adaptations of Tod Browning’s 1932 “Freaks,” a film about circus sideshow performers. Even so, “Shrek the Musical” comes the closest to musicalizing the dark spirit of the unsettling climax of that film when the “freaks” accept an outsider as one of their own with unison cries of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At one point in “Talk Radio,” an old woman calls into Barry Champlain’s radio show complaining about the lack of new “I Love Lucy” shows. Nonplussed, Champlain yells at her, “Do you know what year this is?!” and says Lucille Ball must be really old by now. Written in 1987, this line made sense two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Joel Drake Johnson’s latest at Victory Gardens explores redemption and the long, strange trip guilt takes us on. Thankfully, the destination is as satisfying as the journey. Ex-con Doug (Kevin Anderson) has no place to go. His sister (Meg Thalken) is absent, so he’s forced to endure his uber-anal-retentive brother-in-law Phillip (Francis Guinan). The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Sometimes all you need is a simple premise and a flexible, talented cast. Writer and producer Laura Jacqmin’s “Dental Society Midwinter Meeting” is a deceptively light-on-its-feet satire that succeeds in finding humanity in small episodes between characters you may only meet once or twice. Scandal has rocked the North Shore Regional Dental Society: President [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED As a living, breathing, historical record of where queer youth culture was in the early part of the twenty-first century, About Face Theatre’s “Queertopia” is an important show. Subtitled “The Anti-Violence Project,&#8221; this eighty-minute, collage-structured, professionally produced and youth-performed oral history project boasts opening moments of real theatrical magic, courtesy of director Sara Kerastas, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you love theater? Do you love comic books? Do you love them both at the same time? The Factory Theater, with their new show “The League of Awesome,” certainly does. But given the on-again, off-again status of the beleaguered Spider-Man musical, it’s difficult to be optimistic about the theater’s capacity for earnest superhero plays. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don’t confuse this show with the one currently running at Chicago Shakespeare! Based on the Hans Christian Andersen tale of the same name, “The Emperor’s New Clothes” repositions the well-known fable as a political PR team attempting to distract a disgruntled public from a political scandal of epic proportions with a fashionable, expensive parade. As [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Chicago’s performance scene in the late eighties and early nineties was an embarrassment of riches: notables like Ira Glass and David Sedaris took what they perfected here to national fame and fortune. But an equally successful, more diverse player in a sprawling, multi-disciplinary scene, painter, poet and actor Tony Fitzpatrick delivers the compelling stories [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Clocking in at an epic three hours and serving as an autobiographical allegory for Arthur Miller’s own personal life, including his failed marriage to Marilyn Monroe, “After the Fall” has never enjoyed the popularity of his other more celebrated plays. That is a shame, for as Eclipse Theatre’s current and rare production that serves [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dream Theatre Company closes the book on their ambitious Agon Trilogy with &#8220;Orestes,&#8221; which finds the Audience (both literal and literary) following Electra&#8217;s journey into hell to rescue her dead brother after the events of her own eponymous play. Once again departing radically from the story points of the original “Oresteia,” Jeremy Menekseoglu’s play unfolds [...]]]></description>
