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

BWW Review: Alhambra Dinner Theatre presents ANNIE

BWW Review: STEEL MAGNOLIAS at Alhambra Dinner Theatre

BWW Review: STRAIGHT OUTTA OZ Spends One Short Day at the Thrasher-Horne
Brilliant costumes and catchy, well-written songs cannot salvage this provoking concept that ultimately misses the mark.
BWW Review: DISNEY'S THE LITTLE MERMAID is Making Waves in Jacksonville
The curtain set sail as the orchestra led an overture riddled with recognizable tunes.

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.
