“Disney Live! presents Three Classic Fairy Tales”
Disney magic! Need I say more? Every year, Disney comes to the area with a live stage show designed just for the younger ones, our future theater audiences and while the show is “canned/recorded” and some of the choreography is “hokey”, they are [Read More]
“HAIR”
This one is their adventure , as it is not a show that appeals to all theater audiences as the others are, and for that I give Messrs Rater and Corti a lot of credit. "Hair" with a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado and music by Galt MacDermot, takes us back to [Read More]
“The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later”

“Seven Points for Love” and “Voices In The Dark”
I love watching new theater troupes spread their wings and become a part of the "theater scene" and tonight I watched Fury Theater Company's production of "Two New Plays", written and directed by Ellen Cribbs. In starting a new company it is of great importance that they [Read More]
“Bring It On : The Musical”
While one might think that this is just another high school show about kids and love, it is truly much more. It is about friendship, honesty, loyalty and that winning is not everything.It also reflects on winning, in many cases, causing loss of another type. Let's face it, [Read More]
“fml:how Carson McCullers saved my life”
but of greater importance, this shows the power of literature as Jo ,despite her setbacks, learns a lesson in dealing with survival and we learn that a young playwright, inspired by"The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" developed a story from what she got out the novel. [Read More]
“Absolute Hell”
They are losers, lovers ( of both male and female persuasion), each one having secrets of their own, and some they share.They love to drink, and drink most night away, often going home with someone that they didn't enter with. [Read More]
