Let's start with a basic misconception - FUN HOME is not a comedy.
Candlelight's DO BLACK PATENT LEATHER SHOES REALLY REFLECT UP was a revelation to me.
One wonders what Director Rosanne DellAversano and Music Director James Fuerst talk about at home.
Shakespearean stars were aligned this season with not one but two TWELFTH NIGHTS, staged earlier in the year at UD Rep Ensemble and presently in the sylvan fields of Arden.
