Review: LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST at Gamut Theatre Group's Harrisburg Shakespeare Company
Love's Labor's Lost is presented at Reservoir Park by Gamut Theatre Group's Harrisburg Shakespeare Company through June 14th. This fun fast-paced comedy, directed by J. Clark Nicholson, is a fantastic way to kick off the summer season....
Review: WE WILL ROCK YOU at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre
Overall, Rock of Ages is a strange and uneven show. Dutch Apple’s cast and crew bring ample amounts of enthusiasm and talent, but you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear....
Review: THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL at Little Theatre Of Mechanicsburg
The cast of this production brings passion, emotion, enthusiasm, and talent to the stage. Their characters are well-developed and consistent....

Review: YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN at The Musical Box
It’s such a joy to see familiar Peanuts characters some to life. Charlie Brown (Caleb Stiffler) is lovable as always. Linus (Ally Ferrer) has his important security blanket at all times. Lucy (Kristen Demers) is loud and opinionated. Sally Brown (Ruby Maghoney) is the opposite of her brother in ev...
Review: SISTER ACT at Keystone Theatrics At The Playhouse At Allenberry
For an enjoyable evening that truly places an emphasis on friendship, love, and acceptance of self and others, get your tickets to see this production of Sister Act....
Review: SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE JR. at The St. James Players
Every once in a while, theater offers a moment of pure serendipity—an unexpected delight that leaves you beaming. Such was my experience when, on an unrelated outing, I stumbled upon a production of Schoolhouse Rock Live! Jr. by the St. James Players. I walked in by chance and walked out thoroughl...
Review: FOREVER PLAID at Fulton Theatre
While the show wasn’t my cup of tea, others will probably really appreciate its content. Tickets might make a good Mother’s Day gift for some. Your mileage may vary. Playing now through May 18th....
Review: THE NEVERENDING STORY at DreamWrights
You will meet Bastian (Nolan Matseur) as he reads about Arteyu’s (Rio Gonzalez) quest to save the Childlike Princess (Lorelei Drinkut) and all of Fantastica. You will meet some of your favorite characters like Artax (Lydia Miller) and Falkor (Andrew Matseur). DreamWrights created the many mythical...

TAFE: Theatre Arts for Everyone presents the historically-based play, Radium Girls, from April 25th-27th under the direction of Crystal Ganong. Check here for the review. ...
Review: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre
Good theater should give the audience more to think about at its conclusion beyond “where did I park my car?” Fiddler on the Roof is just that show....

Review: GROUNDHOG DAY-THE MUSICAL at EPAC
Just in time for the first day of spring, EPAC presents the regional premiere of Groundhog Day-The Musical. The plot sticks pretty close to the framework of the 1993 Bill Murray classic....
Review: THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME at DreamWrights
If you liked the 2009 novel, then you will love this play. The story centers on Christopher, a teenager diagnosed with Autism. But, this isn’t a story about Autism. This story is about Christopher’s mission to uncover the truth about the death of his neighbor’s dog. He is quite the detective. ...
Review: CIRQUE DU SOLEIL-OVO at Giant Center
Many of the acts brought to mind what the infamous Spider-Man musical had the potential to be. There were dazzling flips, aerial stunts, and (my favorite) giant trampolines that propelled performers straight up a two story wall....
Review: ARSENIC AND OLD LACE at Hanover Little Theatre
For an evening of hilarity that might just make you feel better about your own family, catch Arsenic and Old Lace at Hanover Little Theatre....
Review: FRANKENSTEIN at Gamut Theatre
This production of Frankenstein is unlike any this reviewer has seen before. It is philosophical, challenging, haunting, unsettling, and as relevant today as it was in 1818....
Review: FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS at Oyster Mill Playhouse
The entire cast gives a strong, heartfelt performance that gives the audience a glimpse into their characters’ thoughts, feelings, beliefs, insecurities, passions, and relationships....
Review: SYLVIA at Carlisle Theatre Players On High

Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Fulton Theatre
Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar opened at the Fulton recently, just in time for the Lenten season. Aaron Lavigne stars as a relatively subdued Jesus. I would have liked to have seen more emotional range displayed in scenes like the cleansing of the temple and in number...
