BWW Review: SOUVENIR at Totem Pole Playhouse

BWW Review: SOUVENIR at Totem Pole Playhouse

by Alyssa Biederman — July 18, 2019
Florence Foster Jenkins - the 20th century performer who shocked with her confidence that she was a fantastic opera singer when she was absolutely not - was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

by Jessica Crowe — June 10, 2019
When you think of Lancaster County, things like whoopie pies and farmers markets probably come to mind. Visions of a horse-and-buggy carrying an Amish family through the lush countryside may fill your mind's eye. What you most likely don't think of is a crime like a kidnapping happening......

BWW Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at Fulton Theatre

by Rich Mehrenberg — May 17, 2019
Tolpegin is magnificent in her portrayal. So often...an actor's depiction of mental illness is totally externalized...sobbing hysterical laughter, jerky body movements. Tolpegin doesn't rely on such tricks. We learn about her through her dialogue and song, but we are not always privy to her private ...
