BWW Review: BRILLIANT TRACES at DreamWrights Center For Community Arts

BWW Review: BRILLIANT TRACES at DreamWrights Center For Community Arts

by Andrea Stephenson — October 3, 2019
Brilliant Traces, by Cindy Lou Johnson, was first performed in New York by the Circle Repertory Company.

BWW Review: March to see THE MUSIC MAN at SERVANT STAGE

BWW Review: March to see THE MUSIC MAN at SERVANT STAGE

by Marakay Rogers — September 20, 2019
I'm often asked if Meredith Willson's THE MUSIC MAN is dated. Perhaps I should say yes, but I tend to say no. A production that can remind you that the underlying plot of the story isn't all sweetness and light and that it actually has what was once controversial material that we usually gloss over ...

BWW Review: BUDDY at the Belmont - THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY

by Marakay Rogers — August 19, 2019
Does everyone love Buddy Holly? The Brits certainly do.
