The Sunday funnies leap from page to stage as Keystone Theatrics presents You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. This fluffy show is full of cheer and catchy songs

For those who enjoy the suspense and satisfaction of solving a murder mystery, Fulton Theatre’s And Then There Were None is the show to see. The production skews the norms of traditional theatre, presenting audiences with a game to be played rather than a story to be experienced

What did our critic think of LITTLE SHOP OF HORROR at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre?

Information on the origins, purpose, and mission of the Lancaster Fringe Festival and its upcoming fundrasier.

Servant Stage is singing an old song, and they’re singing it again and again in their production of Hadestown Teen Edition!

Every Brilliant Thing is a beautiful story filled with the joyfulness and randomness associated with sharing the stage with strangers. Go see it. Then go see it again. Right now, we all could use more positivity in our lives.

Dutch Apple Dinner Theater is ready for some fun and games with their 301st production, Clue, the Musical.  Based on the classic board game, Clue includes all of your favorites, including Mrs. White (Taylor Noli), Miss Scarlett (Laura Elizabeth Flanagan), Mr. Green (Zachary Ryan), Colonel Mustard (Mark Quach), Professor Plum (Randy Kessenich), and Mrs. Peacock (Megan Opalinski).

I think this format might have worked better for me if it was associated with an original story with no source of comparison. Throughout the show, I continued to think about what was missing, rather than fully enjoying the experience for what it was.

The production is as big, bright, and shiny, as the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.

Holiday Inn at Dutch Apple Dinner Theater is probably a great choice for folks who love nostalgia, Hallmark movies, and Lawrence Welk. Enjoy it for what it is and you could have a good time.

Fulton Theatre is going all in this Halloween season.  Not only do they have the creepy Jekyll and Hyde on the mainstage, but they are doubling down with the suspenseful thriller, Deceived on the fourth floor.

on’t come to Parade expecting easy answers or a fairy tale ending.  It is based on real-life events, and real-life is messy.  However, if you want a show that explores themes of bigotry and injustice, then this is for you.  Playing now through November 1st

A half-century later, A Chorus Line remains one singular sensation!  Grab some tickets and see for yourself, now through November 1st.

While Driving Miss Daisy will never match the stagecraft extravaganza of an Andrew Lloyd Weber musical nor the plot complexities of Arthur Miller, it is very effective at what it does.

God of Carnage tells the story of two couples brought together by their children’s playground fracas.  Soon, civility goes out the window, and a heck of a lot more goes on the floor.

This is a highly enjoyable show that will be loved by all ages. Congratulations.  Dutch Apple has another hit on its hands! Buddy-The Buddy Holly Story is one of the earliest and most popular jukebox musicals of all time.  It tells the meteoric, brief, and tragic story of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s biggest icons.

The Producers has a very large and active ensemble, and EPAC was more than up to the challenge. The 17 ensemble members played a bunch of wacky roles including  Village People rejects, tap-dancing Nazis, and horny grandmas.  It looks like so much fun.

The Da Vinci Code will be enjoyable both by newbies and big fans of the book.  It provides thrills, chills, and has a great message about history, or rather, her-story.  It runs now through June 29.

Cats serves as Fulton Theatre’s final production for the 2024-25 season. They are fully committed to highlighting what works, and sidestepping some of its shortcomings.
