BWW Reviews: A Picture is Worth the Time It Captures in WHAT's TIME STANDS STILL
by Kristen Morale - September 09, 2015
There are so many people in this world that are fascinated by such a myriad of things, but regardless of what that interest may be, each of those individuals shares a certain something with their fellow aficionados: they believe in that power of that hobby, that job or whatever it may be deemed to compel him or her towards happiness - towards the discovery of what makes their lives worth while. There are many in this world who merely survive with the inherent desire to be happy, but do not have the capability of finding out that "spark" which will ultimately bring that sense of joy to fruition; it is a joy that rarely can be found and followed with such alacrity and passion that makes the average person turn into something extraordinary. It eradicates the unimportant, sometimes mercilessly, so that a person's passion reigns supreme; it is a compelling force that can be felt but not always explained. Something that is so personal, so raw in the context of the human soul is what audiences are given a glimpse of in the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater's (WHAT) uncomfortably riveting production of Time Stands Still. This powerful and provocative piece of theater brings its audience to question what the true value of a passion is when it does more to deface one's humanity than to strengthen it - when such a narrow focus overrides the basic meaning of life.

BWW Review: Broadway Finds New Legends at CDG's BROADWAY THRU THE DECADES
by Kristen Morale - September 06, 2015
Certain shows people go to see for a multitude of reasons: they may wish to see a favorite actor or personal acquaintance involved, or perhaps they wish to listen to the beautiful score associated with that show; the plot might be a favorite, or, like many do, might opt to go because the concept of being entertained whilst escaping reality for a few hours seems like a wonderfully appealing idea. Well, last night's performance of the Chatham Drama Guild's production of Broadway Thru the Decades (III) brought an intimate group of people together to celebrate the beauty that is the Drama Guild - people who can fortunately attribute their attendance to nearly all of the above reasons.
