Review: WITCHES!? IN SALEM?! at TAFE: Theatre Arts For Everyone
by Sandra Harberger - Feb 23, 2026

This is a high energy show with an almost improv feel with lots of physical comedy. Many cast members were tasked with playing multiple parts, and I was impressed as always with their talent at creating a completely different character with a separate set of mannerisms, voices, and running gags. Some switches were even mid scene! Zachary Thompson had many laughs with his over the top performance as the evil Magistrate embodying multiple judges for the trial. The Bloodkravens, played by Michaela Wagner and Mark Tauzin, were a fun twist as an actual witch and wizard trying to avoid being accused.

by Andrea Stephenson - Jan 11, 2026

Murder, attempted murder, adultery, treachery, deception, and a desire for justice—Rule of Thumb, a series of one act murder mysteries by Agatha Christie has it all.

Review: MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET at TAFE: Theatre Arts For Everyone
by Sandra Harberger - Dec 7, 2025

You will meet a young single mother, Doris, played by Bryn Walker and her daughter Susan, played by Savannah Desrocher. A painful divorce lead her to close her heart off to love and lean heavily toward cynicism. A good hearted old man, Kris Kringle, helped heal her heart and restored her faith, and those around him during a holiday season in New York City. Steve Brown gave a flawless performance of Kris Kringle. He has perfected his performance since first being cast as Kris Kringle in 1997.

Review: ONCE ON THIS ISLAND at DreamWrights
by Sandra Harberger - Jun 7, 2025

Once on this Island is a Caribbean story about an orphan peasant girl, Ti Moune, who rescues a wealthy boy, Daniel, after a car accident. It is a story about the complicated nature of love. Jasmine Graham voice was perfect for the character Ti Moune.

Review: THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME at DreamWrights
by Sandra Harberger - Mar 24, 2025

If you liked the 2009 novel, then you will love this play. The story centers on Christopher, a teenager diagnosed with Autism. But, this isn’t a story about Autism. This story is about Christopher’s mission to uncover the truth about the death of his neighbor’s dog. He is quite the detective. Genevieve McLain gave an impressive and authentic performance of Christopher and how he sees the world. Bea Gilbert’s soothing voice was a perfect choice for Siobhan as she guides Christopher through this tough time in his life. The two worked well together.
