by BWW News Desk - April 03, 2014
There are all kinds of lies. There are fibs, inconsequential lies. There are little white likes, trivial, diplomatic or well-intentioned untruths.

BWW Reviews: WITTENBERG in Richmond
by Jeremy Bustin - April 02, 2014
A joint achievement from Henley Street Theatre and Richmond Shakespeare, David Davalos's WITTENBERG, is the region's latest entry in the Acts of Faith festival. Davalos's script, with puffs of repartee, allusion and other witty wordplay, is heavy handed at times. Lucky for a general audience, he balances his bardish banter with modern language.

Langley High School Theatre Department to Present THE CHILDREN'S HOUR, 4/3-5
by BWW News Desk - March 30, 2014
The award-winning Langley High School theatre department will present its spring production, Lillian Hellman's 1934 play, The Children's Hour. Based on a true story and set in a private girls' boarding school in New England, The Children's Hour chronicles the lives of the school's two young, ambitious owners, Karen Wright and Martha Dobie. When their disciplinary actions against troublesome student, Mary Tilford, upset her, the bratty child runs away to her influential grandmother.
