BWW Reviews: Journey Down the Yellow Brick Road to Gretna Theatre to See THE WIZARD OF OZ
by Kelli Curtin - July 29, 2013
An evil witch, a good witch, a girl from Kansas, a talking scarecrow, a singing tin man, and a cowardly lion - these are all characters we are familiar with from THE WIZARD OF OZ. The characters all have a special place in our memories whether it is from watching the film on television and being mesmerized by the transition of the movie from black and white to color or reading the wonderful books by L. Frank Baum. THE WIZARD OF OZ is a timeless story, and children and adults alike enjoy the story of good versus evil. The Gretna Theatre does not disappoint in bringing this classic to life on stage and people of all ages will enjoy the adventure of Dorothy and her friends in the land of Oz in the WIZARD OF OZ.

Totem Pole Playhouse to Present BARNUM, 8/6-18
by BWW News Desk - July 24, 2013
P.T. Barnum, arguably American history's most celebrated showman, said in his 1880 book The Art of Money-Getting, or, Golden Rules for Making Money, "Let your motto then always be 'Excelsior,' for by living up to it there is no such word as fail." To say that Barnum did everything the biggest and best he possibly could would be an understatement. From his earliest days in show business to becoming king of the circus big top, everything Barnum did was over-the-top. There's only one way to tell the story of the life and loves of the man behind the greatest show on earth - with jaw-dropping spectacle and unprecedented grandeur - the way the award-winning Broadway musical Barnum, playing August 6-18 at Totem Pole Playhouse does.
