Review: CABARET at Smyrna Opera House
by Greer Firestone - Apr 14, 2026
The Smyrna Opera House’s Cabaret isn’t just good—it’s a minor miracle. This is their first musical in years, and instead of easing back in with something safe, they went straight for one of the most stylistically demanding, tonally complex shows in the canon. And they pulled it off with grit, intelligence, and surprising polish.

Review: ANGELS IN AMERICA: Part One at Wilmington Drama League
by Greer Firestone - Sep 19, 2025
In four decades of sitting in darkened houses across Delaware and Pennsylvania, Aisle Say has seen hundreds of productions come and go. Some amuse, some delight, many entertain.

Review: THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD at Candlelight Music Theatre
by Greer Firestone - Mar 25, 2024
What did our critic think of TCandlelight Music Theatre normally plays it safe when scheduling a season. That’s’ why Aisle Say was surprised that “THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD” was part of this year’s season. And more so for the musical was written by Rupert Holmes, whose most prominent claim to fame was his #1 Billboard hit, the romantically funny tune, “The Pina Colada Song”. (To give Holmes his due, the musical won the Tony for Best Musical in 1986).HE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD at Candlelight Music Theatre?
