Review: THE NOTEBOOK Makes it Rain at DCPA

Review: THE NOTEBOOK Makes it Rain at DCPA

by Jon Bee · December 18, 2025

It is no wonder so many movies, tv shows, and musicals start out as the written word. I would argue the best stories are those that draw you in and keep you engaged from start to finish, regardless of how long it takes to finish.
