Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Fulton Theatre
by Rich Mehrenberg - February 28, 2025
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 numbers like the emotional gut punch of 'Gethsemane'.

Review: VOICES OF THE EIGHTH: PART 3 HALLOWED GROUND at Gamut Theatre
by Sandra Harberger - February 25, 2025
Sharia Benn’s third installment weaves together poetry, Harrisburg’s African American history, and gospel music. Though it is part three, it can easily be enjoyed without seeing part one and two. Michael Bush’s artistic talent shone in the cemetery set. The costume designer, Sofia Sloat, designed beautiful period dresses hand painted with the lines of the play for the ancestors. The impressive cast brought intense emotion with a sprinkle of humor throughout the story. You are left the theatre feeling a strong call to action.

Review: THE SECRET GARDEN at TAFE: Theatre Arts For Everyone
by Sandra Harberger - February 22, 2025
The well-known characters of Mary Lennox and Colin Craven were played by Braelyn Angell and Henry Gambrill. I enjoyed their transformation from angry children in pain to those with hope and kindness. Josiah Titus played their friend Dickon Sowerby with strength and confidence. Not surprising since Jill Titus played his equally strong and confident mother onstage, Susan Sowerby. My favorite characters were the two mice and robin played by Elsie Torres, Adalynn Richard, and Leah Miller. They added humor and magic to the story.

Review: FALSETTOS at Susquehanna Stage
by Jason Davis - February 17, 2025
Susquehanna Stage has built a commendable reputation for delivering exceptional productions, ranging from beloved classics to lesser-known gems. Their recent endeavor, the Tony Award-winning Falsettos, aligns with this tradition, bringing to life a complex narrative about love, family, and personal identity. While the production does not entirely reach the remarkable heights that fans have come to expect from this community theater, it still offers a compelling emotional journey and several standout performances.

Review: PUFFS at DreamWrights
by Sandra Harberger - February 09, 2025
The narrator (Zachary Claghorn) entertained as he kept the audience aware of what book was coming up and set the tone of the show. Our lead Puffs were Wayne (Westley Smith), Oliver (Acell Spencer), and Megan (Bryn Walker). These three worked well together and showed a range of emotions throughout the show. Madison Buckley played Cedric, Voldy, Uncle Dave, Prof Turban, Zach Smith) and was hilarious with her strength in playing different characters and voices. I highly recommend you seeing “Puffs.” It was a fun show with lots of laughs.
