BWW Review: SOMETHING ROTTEN at EPAC
by Rich Mehrenberg - October 10, 2021
Don't let the name fool ya. EPAC's production of Something Rotten is totally fresh. In fact, it is their best show post-pandemic, by far. (Any show that rhymes 'penis' and 'genius' in it's first ten minutes is gonna crack you up!)

BWW Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at Gamut Theatre
by Rich Mehrenberg - October 08, 2021
The course of true love never did run smooth, but a good Shakespeare play often does. That is my take away from a recently viewing of Gamut Theatre's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. This show is fresh, fun, and funny. The remarkable 24 character show was performed by 14 actors, which calls for a lot of double and even triple billing.
