The Ephrata Performing Arts Center To Present A Tribute To Stephen Sondheim, February 18

The Ephrata Performing Arts Center (EPAC) will present a one-night-only concert dedicated to the life, legacy, and works of the great American composer, Stephen Sondheim, on February 18th. The concert, titled Sondheim Tribute Revue, will be directed by EPAC Artisitc Director, Edward R. Fernandez, with music direction by Michael Truitt, and script written by Alan Gomberg.

The concert will feature some of EPAC's biggest and brightest stars, including Sean Young, Kristie Ohlinger, Carl Bomberger, Jeannette Wehye, Stacia Renell Smith, Nick Smith, Maya Burdick, Andrew Cuer, and Karey Getz. This ensemble, along with Edward R. Fernandez, will perform some of Sondheim's most iconic numbers from the shows for which he provided music and lyrics, including Into the Woods, A Little Night Music, Follies, Company, Sunday in the Park With George, and many more.

This concert will also serve as the first installment of a season-long tribute to Sondheim, whose work has been vital to EPAC's growth and establishment for over 30 years. The latter two installments will be EPAC's productions of Passion, playing April 27th-May 13th, and A Little Night Music, playing October 12th-28th.

The Stephen Sondheim Society notes that Sondheim was "widely acknowledged as the most innovative, most influential and most important composer and lyricist in modern Broadway history. For more than 50 years, he has set an unsurpassed standard of brilliance and artistic integrity in musical theatre. His accolades include an Academy Award, eight Tony Awards (more than any other composer) including the Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre, multiple Grammy Awards, multiple Drama Desk awards, and a Pulitzer Prize."

The Sondheim Tribute Revue will take place for one-night-only on Saturday, February 18th at 8:00 PM at the Sheradin Bigler Theatre. Tickets are available now at EpacTheatre.Org, or by calling the box office at 717-733-7966 ext. 1.

Review: STINKY CHEESE MAN: AND OTHER FAIRLY STUPID TALES at DreamWrights
The young ensemble cast at DreamWrights brought the book to life and made the packed audience of families laugh this weekend with their cast of colorful characters and animals. My own teenager loved this book as a child and giggled through out the performance! Stinky Cheese Man has lots of physical comedy that kids will laugh out loud at even if they don’t quite get the verbal humor of the parody yet. Sprinkled throughout the show is a few unique songs and even a puppet. Even the intermission was entertaining. Kids were getting their wiggles out dancing to music as the clocked counted down the minutes left before Act II.

Review: THE ADDAMS FAMILY: A NEW MUSICAL COMEDY at The Musical Box Theater
The Musical Box Theatre presents The Addams Family in concert style from March 23-26 at the Double Barrel Roadhouse in Red Lion, Pa. The show was directed by Shana McCoy and choreographed by Rebecca Gentry. A concert performance utilizes minimal set design, staging, and costume changes. Music stands were used in this performance and uniquely incorporated into the show. Stripped to the bare bones, the voices and music are fully appreciated. The cast did an excellent job using their voices to tell the story of the Addams family.
