Review: A 1940'S CHRISTMAS CAROL at The Musical Box Theatre
by Sandra Harberger - December 13, 2024
What I loved about the show was the way you felt transported back to 1943 as the live audience for the radio broadcast complete with an “applause” sign that lights up when it’s time to clap. You got to see how they made sound effects on air, and Mathew Szekeres did a great job as “Buzz” with all the different sounds throughout the show. Matt Yordy-Bahn was great as the host of the show keeping it all running smoothly between the telling of the Christmas Carol, songs, and advertisements. The cast seems to really enjoy getting to use different voices and accents throughout the show, and Justin Rosenberger, as “Cholly” really nailed using his voice for radio.

Review: OTHER DESERT CITIES at Susquehanna Stage
by Jason Davis - December 09, 2024
Other Desert Cities may not be a play you’ve heard of, but it is certainly one you won’t want to miss. The Susquehanna Stage production of this contemporary drama is a powerful representation of Jon Robin Baitz’s sharp, emotionally charged script. While it’s only a 'Christmas play' in the same way Die Hard is a “Christmas movie”, the holiday reunion at the heart of the story serves as the perfect backdrop for this exploration of family dynamics, political divides, and the emotional weight of long-buried secrets.

Review: CONEY ISLAND CHRISTMAS at DreamWrights
by Sandra Harberger - December 07, 2024
Iris Lewin portrayal of the older Shirley Abramowitz was sweet with moments of humor. Eva Jarret played the younger Shirley, and she brought her “Loudest Voice” to the role. Her parents were played by Zachary Claghorn and Isabell Amadio with authentic Jewish accents and mannerisms. Isabell Amadio nailed her performance of the strict Jewish mother. The best part of any holiday show is always the children! Their exuberance and honest portrayal of the children they are made me chuckle many times.
