Review: ANNE & EMMETT at Open Stage And Sankofa African American Theatre Company

Each actor in this production brings passion, commitment, and authenticity to the stage. The raw emotions expressed by the actors in these scenes are heart-breaking and haunting. It is an important call to action to acknowledge the past so that we may move into a more hopeful and just future.

BWW Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Open Stage Of Harrisburg

The 1843 Charles Dickens novel A Christmas Carol is a familiar tale. Each holiday season A Christmas Carol can be found in one of its over 130 adaptations on the screen or on the stage. As the stress of the holiday season grows, it is not unusual to hear someone utter the words made famous by Ebenezer Scrooge-Bah! Humbug! No matter what version of the classic tale we see, however, the story reminds us that the true spirit of the holiday season is one of compassion, kindness, forgiveness, charity, love, and hope. A Christmas Carol opened for the 19th year at Open Stage of Harrisburg on December 1st.
