Review: RICHARD III at OrangeMite Studio
by Sandra Harberger - January 21, 2025
Daryll Perkins Jr.’s portrayal of Richard was excellent and perfectly evil for this tragic character. Chris Koslosky’s curses and predictions of downfall as the banished Queen Margaret was fantastic. The fighting scene between Richard (Daryl Perkins Jr.) and Henry Tudor of Richmond was realistic and tense. I’m pretty sure I held my breath for most of it. It was well choreographed, and both actors gave it their all and never missed a mark.

Review: MURDER FOR TWO at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre
by Rich Mehrenberg - January 19, 2025
The show is 90 minutes with no intermission.  Director, Victor Legarreta understands the farcical elements and keeps the action coming. However, funny, and fast are not synonymous.  The coherency of the plot is sometimes sacrificed by the manic pace of the show. This is a flaw of the script, not this production.
