BWW Review: THE SHADOW BOX at Little Theatre Of Mechanicsburg
The world of theatre encompasses every issue under the sun; from war to small town drama, from orphans to puppets, theatre has seen it all. Using this logic, it makes sense that many plays and musicals often deal with the challenging topic of illness and death. Musicals such as NEXT TO NORMAL and HE...

BWW Review: Open Stage's Canny UNCANNY VALLEY

BWW Review: SUPERIOR DONUTS at Oyster Mill Playhouse

BWW Review: LOVE FROM A STRANGER at Little Theatre Of Mechanicsburg
The suspenseful mystery genre of theatre is one that should always be approached with caution; the mixture of sprinkling around clues without giving up the ending to the audience is one that can be difficult to get just right. However, at Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg, their production of LOVE FRO...
BWW Review: THE SPITFIRE GRILL at Oyster Mill Playhouse
When an actor starts out on their journey to stardom, they are bound to hear the same advice from a multitude of concerned friends and relatives: theatre is a cut-throat business, and nothing is set in stone. However, when these well-meaning people give this warning, they are more than likely referr...
BWW Review: CITY OF ANGELS at Theatre Harrisburg
In the vast world of community theatre, the production of obscure musicals can often be a dangerous game.
