BWW Feature: BLACKBERRY WINTER Offers a Theatrical Safe Haven
by Kelli McGurk - January 19, 2017
What does it mean to watch a parent suffer from an illness that there is no known cure for?  What does it mean for someone who prides themselves on being capable and proactive to feel helpless and out of control?  What does it mean, as an actress, to navigate these emotions and deliver them to an audience almost entirely by yourself, for ninety minutes, six times a week?

BWW Review: One-of-a-Kind Jessica Vosk Soars in Spellbinding National Tour of WICKED at the Dr. Phillips Center
by Matt Tamanini - January 16, 2017
For over 13 years, the musical WICKED has been a shining example of the biggest and most spectacular shows that Broadway has to offer. However, hiding behind the colorful costumes, the special effects, the familiar Ozian setting, and all of the other trappings of the modern day mega-musical is a much deeper and finely crafted show than it is often given credit for. The show's national tour, currently playing at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando through January 29th, thrives on the tried and true escapism that the show is known for, but with a truly remarkable actress leading the production, the show transcends its base entertainment value to deliver a nuanced, rewarding theatrical experience.

BWW Review: BLACKBERRY WINTER at Orlando Shakes
by Libby Champion - January 15, 2017
My mother is…. For many, these three little words evoke things such as "interesting," "crazy," or even "getting old." But when you hear "My mother is suffering - no not suffering - living with Alzheimer's disease," these three little words take on a whole new meaning. When your own mother starts to forget you, do you even know your mother anymore? Do you even know yourself? These are the questions Vivienne painstakingly tries to answer in Steve Yockey's BLACKBERRY WINTER.
