Review: WILD HORSES at Penfold Theatre


by Joni Lorraine - March 11, 2026

Review: SWING! at Georgetown Palace Theatre


by Sabrina Wallace - February 14, 2026

Swing! at Georgetown Palace Theatre proves that when the set disappears, the rhythm takes over. A bare stage, a blazing live band, powerhouse vocals, and choreography that fills every inch of space. The audience was tapping along all night, me included. Theatre adapts, communities rally, and the sho...
