Review: THE OLDEST PROFESSION at Hanover Little Theatre


by Andrea Stephenson - June 14, 2026

Often billed as a comedy, this play contains a wealth of witty dialogue, but is, at its heart, a poignant exploration of the resilience of these women and their relationships with one another. HLT has created a touching, beautiful production....

Review: HADESTOWN - TEEN EDITION at DreamWrights


by Sandra Harberger - June 13, 2026

Review: CHOIR BOY at EPAC


by Rich Mehrenberg - May 31, 2026

Choir Boy might best be described as a play with music.  There are multiple songs throughout the show.  The members of the student choir have remarkable harmony together.  The vocals were lush.  To be honest, the singing in this production was as good or better than some of the recent Ephrata mu...

Review: SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET at Little Theatre Of Mechanicsburg


by Andrea Stephenson - May 30, 2026

This production of Sweeney Todd at Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg is the perfect mix of comedy and spine-tingling horror. The intimate setting at LTM suits the atmosphere of the show, making the audience feel as though they are part of the story....

Review: THE BOYS IN THE BAND at Open Stage


by Andrea Stephenson - May 24, 2026

The production of The Boys in the Band at Open Stage may be one of the most emotionally intense performances of the season. The two-hour run time doesn’t feel nearly that long as the actors breathe life into the characters and their stories....
