“The Addams Family”
This production , in my opinion, far outweighs the original one as it has been fine tuned during its run and has become more of an ensemble piece. While I know that "stars" have graced the Broadway stage in the main roles, this company proves that you do not need big names [Read More]
“The Secret Garden”

“The Nutcracker” Joffrey Ballet
this year decided that it would be nice to have someone else share the magic moments of this special production, so in my place, I sent Theresa Morfas ( an employee at Theatre at the Centre) and her 9 year old niece, Tess Vanator, who had never been to a production such as [Read More]
