Interview: Greer Firestone of GOVERNANCE IN COMMUNITY THEATRE
by Greer Firestone - January 10, 2026
For more than forty years, Aisle Say has observed live theatre from the aisle—not the spotlight, not the boardroom, and not the dressing room mirror.

Review: CHRISTMAS BY CANDLELIGHT at The Candlelight Theatre
by Rosanne DellAversano - November 25, 2025
It’s the same thinking every year. You tell yourself, this year the holidays will be different. But, the days fly by and before you know it – BAM! – Thanksgiving is two days away and Christmas is just around the corner. You start to get a little panicked. So much to do, so little time. It’s very easy to become a Grinch. Hang on! What you really need is to slow down and take time for yourself. Have a little fun. And it just so happens, there’s a little dinner theater in Arden, Delaware full of elves just waiting to serve up a platter full of holiday cheer just for you.
Review: CHRISTMAS BY CANDLELIGHT at Candlelight Music Theatre
by Greer Firestone - November 25, 2025
Aisle Say is really dating himself as he references Laurel and Hardy’s MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS. It must have been 1953 on Christmas Day when I first saw it on our black and white Mortorola. I still believed. I was mesmerized. Each Christmas Day for many years I looked forward to it. That movie made it difficult to disbelieve.

Review: AND THEN THERE WERE NONE at Resident Ensemble Players
by Greer Firestone - November 08, 2025
There’s something deliciously unnerving about sitting in a theater knowing that no one on stage will make it out alive. Resident Ensemble Members production of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None—the best-selling mystery novel of all time, is that rare, perfect storm of tight plotting, psychological suspense, and gallows humor.
