What did our critic think of THE WITCHES at Theatre 29?

The opening night galas at Theatre 29 have traditionally been a fund-raising opportunity for area nonprofits. Over the years groups like the College Foundation, Rotary Clubs, Library Friends, Reach Out, and others have raised thousands of dollars hosting the events. The opening Night of Roald Dahl’s “The Witches” on October 6, will also be a fund-raiser, but this time for the Theatre 29 organization itself.

Something wicked this way comes this October at Theatre 29, as they open their dramatic season with the Roald Dahl classic children’s story, ‘The Witches’. Faithfully adapted by David Wood, this production will play weekends October 6 – 22.

Audiences can now get ready to experience the Arden Theatre Company's thrilling 36th Season featuring great stories by great storytellers.

Theatre 29 will hold open auditions for the dramatized Roald Dahl classic children’s story, 'The Witches.', on Monday, August 14th at 6:00pm on the Theatre 29 Main Stage (73637 Sullivan Road, Twentynine Palms). Based on the book “The Witches” by Roald Dahl and faithfully adapted by David Wood, this production will magically appear on the Theatre 29 stage October 6 – 22.  Debut Director Nena Jimenez is looking for a cast of men and women over the age of 15. There are 2 roles for boys 10 – 13 age range, but no other children’s roles.

Ira David Wood III's beloved musical comedy, A Christmas Carol, returns to DPAC for six performances on December 13 – 17, 2023, for its 50th anniversary celebration.  With a cast of almost 100, this wonderful holiday story is brought to life with great songs and tremendous heart. 

The Olivier Award nominated stage production of The Tiger Who Came to Tea has announced casting for this year’s summer season at Theatre Royal Haymarket, commemorating the centenary of its beloved author, the late Judith Kerr OBE.

The Live Arts Teen Summer Musical returns with a darkly funny and slyly subversive musical for summer 2023! HEATHERS THE MUSICAL: Teen Edition is written and composed by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe, based on the 1980s cult classic film.

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis’ Imaginary Theater Company will present theater for young people and their families with performances of James and the Giant Peach and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane May 11-13, 2023, at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center Mainstage (210 E.

Rambunctious indie-rockers Good Kid have released their newest EP Good Kid 3, which features previously new songs “Osmosis,” “Orbit,” and “Madeleine,” as well as singles “Mimi’s Delivery Service,” “First Rate Town,” and “No Time To Explain.”

What did our critic think of THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK at Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre? The story of Anne Frank has been immortalized in her own words for decades. Her writings range from the amusing to the dramatic to the tragic, but in their essence, they capture something so fleeting: a girl struggling to become a woman in unspeakable circumstances. Her firsthand account of hiding from Nazis shows us a different side of history, one that can't be summed up in a chapter in a textbook. The Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre has brought her story to life on stage in THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, a play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman, and their retelling brings out new sides to Anne's story and pushes you to see this time period from new viewpoints.
