Review: HOW I LEARNED WHAT I LEARNED at RESIDENT ENSEMBLE PLAYERS

Review: HOW I LEARNED WHAT I LEARNED at RESIDENT ENSEMBLE PLAYERS

by Greer Firestone · September 10, 2026

A one-man show is a monumental undertaking—and a monumental responsibility. For veteran REP actor Hassan El-Amin – who is Black -there is further gravitas in giving voice to August Wilson’s HOW I LEARNED WHAT I LEARNED, a 90-minute, no-intermission journey through the experiences that forged o…

Review: ANNIE at The Candlelight Theatre

by Rosanne DellAversano · July 23, 2026

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

by Rosanne DellAversano · May 19, 2026

Review: RIDE THE CYCLONE, THE MUSICAL at Wilmington Drama League

Review: RIDE THE CYCLONE, THE MUSICAL at Wilmington Drama League

by Rosanne DellAversano · April 28, 2026

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. The musical RIDE THE CYCLONE is very much like a roller coaster in that the mindset of the viewer makes all the difference. Labeled as a �…

Review: 1776 at Walnut Street Theatre

Review: 1776 at Walnut Street Theatre

by Greer Firestone · April 26, 2026

Review: THE CHEQUERBOARD WATCH at Delaware Theatre Company

Review: THE CHEQUERBOARD WATCH at Delaware Theatre Company

by Greer Firestone · April 20, 2026

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. Producers would bring him in—often late in rehearsals or even during out-of-town tryouts—to tighten scripts, sharpen comedy, res…

Review: CABARET at Smyrna Opera House

Review: CABARET at Smyrna Opera House

by Greer Firestone · April 14, 2026

The Smyrna Opera House’s Cabaret isn’t just good—it’s a minor miracle. This is their first musical in years, and instead of easing back in with something safe, they went straight for one of the most stylistically demanding, tonally complex shows in the canon. And they pulled it off with grit…

Review: POTUS at The Contemporary

Review: POTUS at The Contemporary

by Greer Firestone · March 10, 2026

Producing a play called POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive in today’s political climate takes nerve. Aisle Say applauds Kerry Kristine McElone and the Board of City Theatre for having exactly that kind of chutzpah. Mounting this razor-edged farce at a mo…
