New Light Theatre, in partnership with Delaware Theatre Company, has mounted a Putnam County Spelling Bee that proves once again why this company has become one of Delaware’s most conscientious and community minded artistic engines.
Review: HOW I LEARNED WHAT I LEARNED at RESIDENT ENSEMBLE PLAYERS
A one-man show is a monumental undertaking—and a monumental responsibility.
Review: ANNIE at The Candlelight Theatre
Who doesn’t enjoy an evening of young musical theater performers strutting their stuff on a professional stage? Not me and certainly not the enthusiastic Opening Night audience of ANNIE now playing at The Candlelight Theatre.
Review: ARSENIC AND OLD LACE at The Candlelight Theatre
It doesn’t matter if you know the stage version, or the movie version, or don’t know anything about it, just know ARSENIC AND OLD LACE has an easy to follow plot that leads you down a path of hijinks straight to your funny bone.
Review: RIDE THE CYCLONE, THE MUSICAL at Wilmington Drama League
For many, the wild and unpredictable ride of a roller coaster is exhilarating and euphoric, while for others, it is traumatic and elicits multiple phobic fears.
Review: 1776 at Walnut Street Theatre
The Walnut Street Theatre’s opening night production of 1776 is, quite simply, magnificent.

George Abbott earned the reputation of Broadway’s “show doctor” in the 1950s because he had an uncanny ability to fix troubled musicals quickly and commercially.
