BWW Reviews: Dan Folino and Katherine DeBoer Make Lakeland's ANYONE CAN WHISTLE Worth Seeing
by Roy Berko - Feb 17, 2012


When Martin Friedman, Artistic Director of The Lakeland Civic Theatre, announced he was staging Stephen Sondheim's ANYONE CAN WHISTLE, there were some raised eyebrows in the theatre community. Friedman is a Sondheimophile. He knows the master's works well. Why would he even adventure into Whistle land, which is fraught with land mines?

by BWW News Desk - Dec 23, 2011


A winter wonderland awaits your family at Imagination Theater. The holiday favorite, Irving Berlin's White Christmas opened last week to the delight of local audiences. Based on the beloved and timeless 1954 film starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Rosemary Clooney, the story revolves around Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, two iconic song-and-dance men who follow a sister act to Vermont, only to discover that the nearly-bankrupt lodge they were to perform is owned by their former commanding general.

BWW Reviews: Sweet WHITE CHRISTMAS Tour is a Wonderful Winter Treat
by Michael L. Quintos - Dec 16, 2011


Now performing at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Orange County, California through January 1, the current touring stage production of IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMAS--a beguiling, surprisingly-winsome re-imagining of the classic 1954 Paramount Pictures musical motion picture of the same name--is saved from being just another run-of-the-mill musical adaptation thanks to its incredible Irving Berlin melodies and its enjoyable dance performances that harken back to a simpler time. More than anything, this satisfying production is able to hold its own mostly because it doesn't seem to have any pretense in its core.
