BWW Review: GODSPELL at Prima Theatre
by Jessica Crowe - April 08, 2019
As I sit down to write this review, I still have tears swelling in my eyes just thinking about my experience with this show.

BWW Review: THE GLASS MENAGERIE at Hershey Area Playhouse
by Andrea Stephenson - April 05, 2019
'For time is the longest distance between places' but in the case of an iconic play like The Glass Menagerie, time seems to melt away. Tennessee Williams based the play on his 1943 short story 'Portrait of a Girl in Glass.' The Glass Menagerie premiered in 1944 in Chicago where it caught the attention of critics Ashton Stevens and Claudia Cassidy. With their help, the producers were able to move the play to Broadway, where it opened at the Playhouse Theatre in 1945. In The Glass Menagerie, the character Tom serves as both narrator and character in a play that is memory and yet somehow very real and present. The Glass Menagerie runs April 4-April 14 at Hershey Area Playhouse.
