BWW Review: SOMETHING ROTTEN at EPAC
Don't let the name fool ya. EPAC's production of Something Rotten is totally fresh. In fact, it is their best show post-pandemic, by far. (Any show that rhymes 'penis' and 'genius' in it's first ten minutes is gonna crack you up!) ...
BWW Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at Gamut Theatre
The course of true love never did run smooth, but a good Shakespeare play often does. That is my take away from a recently viewing of Gamut Theatre's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

BWW Review: MAMMA MIA at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre
Mamma Mia is the ABBA-infused jukebox musical about bride to be, Sophie (Jennie Nasser) and her quest to find out which of three men (Brent Schraff, Andrew Scoggin, & Justin Miller) is her biological father. It's a goofy premise, but most audience members are there to sing along to 'Dancing Queen', ...

BWW Review: DRIVING MISS DAISY at Oyster Mill Playhouse
Driving Miss Daisy reminds us of the work we still need to do, as a society, when it comes to how we treat those who are different from us.

BWW Review: ROCK OF AGES at Hershey Area Playhouse
Get out the Aqua-Net and leg warmers, Hershey Area Playhouse is taking you back to the 80's with their return to live theater, Rock of Ages. The show is both fun and funny. It doesn't take itself so seriously, in fact, at one point it makes a self-referential comment that the show is nothing but 'po...
BWW Review: MATILDA at EPAC
Roald Dahl's children's classic, Matilda makes its way to the EPAC stage. The show is full of humor, energy, and a tribute to the underdogs of the world.
