Review: ARSENIC AND OLD LACE at The Candlelight Theatre


by Rosanne DellAversano - May 19, 2026

It doesn’t matter if you know the stage version, or the movie version, or don’t know anything about it, just know ARSENIC AND OLD LACE has an easy to follow plot that leads you down a path of hijinks straight to your funny bone....

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


by Greer Firestone - April 26, 2026

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


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


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...

Review: THE LITTLE MERMAID at Wilmington Drama League


by Rosanne DellAversano - December 18, 2025

Review: CHICAGO at The Contemporary


by Greer Firestone - December 15, 2025

City Theatre Company’s CHICAGO was met with a warm audience response on opening night—and deservedly so. Now celebrating its 32nd year, CTC has long occupied a vital place in Delaware’s theatrical landscape, with current Artistic Director Kerri Kristine McElrone integral to the company since i...
