I Am My Own Wife is a true life tale of survival. The biographical play tells the story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf. Charlotte is a transgendered museum curator who built herself a life of strength, acceptance, and understanding in Nazi Germany.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a show that is both fun and funny.  The Resident Theater Company has once again upped their game and produced a very high quality show.  Their tagline of 'NY Theatre in West Chester' is no mere hyperbole. 

Fulton Theatre's current production of Once is plagued by an unforgivable flaw...it's boring.

Dutch Apple emphasizes the amazing in their current production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The show is a dazzling spectacular of sight, sound, and movement.

Theatre Harrisburg's Doubt is a profound, thoughtful and timely night of theater. The horrendous accusations of sexual abuse within the clergy is as relevant today as it was during the show's fictional 1960's Catholic school setting.

You might not be familiar with the latest Dutch Apple production, Lucky Stiff. The 1988, Off-Broadway show might best be described as 2 parts Weekend at Bernie's, 1 part Brewster's Millions, with a splash of The Bucket List thrown in for good measures. Those who appreciate broad, farcical comedies will also probably enjoy this show.

Fulton's production of The Glass Menagerie is a very good show presented in a mediocre environment. It's like sitting down to lobster in a school cafeteria.

Spamalot is a enjoyable 'knight' at theater, full of nonsense and fun.

The Fulton's Chicago is sexy and sultry. It is going to get you hot and bothered. So much so that exit doors were opened during intermission to cool down both actors and audience.

The Dutch Apple production of Stand By Your Man provides a non-glamorized portrayal of one of country music's biggest icons.  The performances are very strong within a script that could still use a little work.

I am so thrilled to report that director Greg Trax and his company completely nailed this show from beginning to end in this production at the Gettysburg Community Theatre.

Lend me a Tenor is an ebullient and highly professional production. The Resident Theater Company have a hit on their hands, and the town of West Chester should be proud to own a tiny slice of Broadway.

    The Dutch Apple's production of A Christmas Carol is a great piece of festive entertainment.  Although it doesn't set out to reinvent the story in any significant way, many audience members will  appreciate the tradition and familiarity that it brings.

Lancaster City was hit with a record setting, half foot of snow earlier in the day. While dozens of other local businesses closed early. Marc Robbin and his team made the call to heed the show's advice, faced adversity, and put on one Hell of an opening night!

Little Shop of Horrors plays now through November 11.  It is an enjoyable night of community theater

Currently, the are housing the Reverie Actor's Company's production of The Man Who Came to Dinner which is a funny and refreshing classic from Broadway's past.

The Mystery of Irma Vep...is all tricks and no treats. It is 120 tedious minutes of screeching, gasping, and hammy acting.

The 24 Hour Plays: Lancaster is a special night of experimental theater where six writers, six directors, twenty-four actors, and a production team come together to write, rehearse and produce six plays over the course of 24 hours!
