BWW Review: SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE Uplifts a Weary City at Players By The Sea

by Heather Vollman — September 17, 2017

I laughed more than I have in weeks, escaping the reality of my own personal tragedies, and judging by the uncontrollable laughter, clapping, and singing along that surrounded me in the audience, one thing is clear: this revue is exactly what you need right now, Jacksonville.

BWW Review: Alhambra Dinner Theatre presents ANNIE

by Heather Vollman — July 5, 2017

ANNIE opened at The Alhambra Dinner Theatre last week to a house full of excited young ladies, local theatre lovers, and even those who aren't as familiar with the Jacksonville theatre scene, as the timelessly successful musical tends to draw large crowds who know every song from childhood.

BWW Review: PETER AND THE STARCATCHER Makes You Want to Fly

by Trevor Durham — January 13, 2017

A two and a half hour marathon of absurdism, clever dancing around endless prop pieces, Peter and the Starcatcher is the most intriguing theatrical experiment an audience could have ever envisioned from such a colorful flight to Neverland.
