BWW Review: HETTY FEATHER at Delaware Theatre Company

by Greer Firestone — April 26, 2017

BWW Review: AFTER BIRTH OF A NATION at City-Theater

BWW Review: AFTER BIRTH OF A NATION at City-Theater

by Greer Firestone — February 17, 2017

BWW Review: LAUGHTER ON THE 23RD FLOOR at Walnut Street Theatre - An Homage to Sid Caesar and Mid Century TV

by Greer Firestone — January 30, 2017
'Mid Century' is in renaissance. Mid-century decor, mid-century fashion, mid-century architecture (although Palm Springs architecture has never left the '50's and '60's). Now we welcome a resurgence of Mid Century entertainment at The Walnut, America's oldest theatre and a National Historic Landmark...

BWW Review: NUREYEV'S EYES Takes Stage at Delaware Theatre Company

by Rosanne DellAversano — March 11, 2016
What does it take to paint one of the greatest male ballet dancers of the 20th century? One can surmise, a talented artist. But, what if the task of painting an icon became a challenge between capturing the dancer in motion and becoming conscious of the motion of the dancer?...

BWW Review: BECAUSE OF WINN DIXIE at Delaware Theatre Company

by Mark Brainard — April 24, 2015
When the title of the musical is followed by 'based on the book/film...', there tends to be one of two reactions- excitement (LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, MARY POPPINS, RAGTIME) or dread (SISTER ACT, GHOST, CARRIE).
