BWW Review: KINKY BOOTS at Titusville Playhouse
by Joseph Harrison - January 15, 2022
Life has a funny way of changing in an instant – pointing you in new directions or opening your eyes to something, or someone you never saw before. Sometimes these changes are welcomed, exciting, full of immediate opportunity, while others can be overwhelming, scary, and daunting. But regardless of what initiates the change – each of us has a choice to make – to embrace it or fight it. Whichever direction one goes, it is inevitable they will learn something along the way, whether they planned to or not. Such is the case for the characters at the heart of  Cyndi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein’s hit musical KINKY BOOTS, which is playing now at the Titusville Playhouse in Titusville, FL.

by Joseph Harrison - January 12, 2022
When a state-of-the-art venue like Dr. Phillips Center’s Steinmetz Hall opens and hosts its first live performances, it is truly a special event.

Throw race into the mixture and a southern town with a history of discrimination and you have the formula for Gloria Bond Clunie’s “serious comedy” SWEET WATER TASTE, which plays at Orlando Shakes through January 22nd.
