BWW Reviews: Theatreworks' Trippy CYMBELINE

by Christi Esterle — August 4, 2013
Cymbeline is well worth a trip-though you'll have to decide for yourself whether that trip is down the tree-lined path at Rock Ledge Ranch, or within a smoke-hazed mind. This play, in the end, is mostly what you make of it....

BWW Reviews: Funky Little Theater Company Takes a Daring First Step With IN A DARK, DARK HOUSE

by Christi Esterle — July 13, 2013
Tucked away in a storefront not too far from the Senior Center, the Funky Little Theater Company is the sort of daring, grassroots company I had not expected to find in Colorado Springs.

BWW Reviews: JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE AND WELL at the Fine Arts Center

by Christi Esterle — June 22, 2013
If there's one thing Colorado Springs could use right now (apart from help rebuilding after yet another devastating wildfire), it's a little catharsis. So while the timeliness of Fine Arts Center's Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris certainly wasn't intentional, it's nonetheless welc...

by Christi Esterle — May 11, 2013
'I hate the theater; it's so disappointing,' may be the most ironic opening line in recent memory. The Drowsy Chaperone, is nothing less than a celebration of musical comedy in all its beautiful and frequently absurd glory, and the Fine Arts Center's production of it is as entertaining an experience...
