THE BEACH BOYS Bring The Sounds Of Summer To A Desert Winter At The McCallum
by David Green - Nov 18, 2019

The McCallum Theatre welcomes the return of The Beach Boys for two performances on Sunday, December 1, at 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm. You can capsulize most pop music acts by how many hits they've had and how many millions of albums they've sold. These conventional measurements fall short when you're assessing the impact of The Beach Boys. This band birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. Its greater significance lies in the fact that The Beach Boys' songs forever changed the musical landscape, profoundly influencing countless performing artists.

BWW Review: CABARET at Sherman Playhouse - A Kit Kat Klub raw and seedy as it should be.
by Dan Dwyer - Sep 23, 2019

If what you know about 'Cabaret' is informed by the classic 1972 movie which made Liza Minnelli a superstar, you owe yourself to see the Tony-winning musical stage version like the one at community-based Sherman Playhouse. Director Bradford Blake, inspired by London's Donmar Warehouse 1993 revival which made it to Studio54 in 1998, creates a solid, engaging production that is both faithful to the cautionary theme of the original Broadway production and authentic to the raw and seedy world of the decadent Kit Kat Klub, Berlin 1931.

Though the teenage girls at the center of Jocelyn Bioh's endearing and poignant SCHOOL GIRLS; OR, THE AFRICAN MEAN GIRLS PLAY all have wonderful qualities that should be appreciated and nurtured during their years at Aburi Girls Boarding School in central Ghana, there is one quality that prevents them all from having a chance to represent their country in the 1986 Miss Universe Pageant.

by Nancy Grossman - Dec 1, 2016
