Review: ANNIE at The Candlelight Theatre

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: 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.

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…
