Timothe Bittle

Dutch Apples steps outside of their comfort zone with mostly favorable results.  Ragtime is a challenging and thought-provoking piece, and any criticism is directed towards the script, not its talented cast and crew.

What did our critic think? Dutch Apple’s production of The Little Mermaid will be loved by kids, but if you are older than ten, it probably won’t be “part of your world”.

An afternoon of great company, good food, and a cute funny show is a great combination. Grumpy Old Men is a fun comedy with a hysterical script that is perfectly suited for dinner theatre. Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre's 2020 production was unfortunately halted due to the pandemic and has now been brought back with many returning talented cast members.

FINDING NEVERLAND, the musical that made us all believe in our imagination, will be making its way to Waterbury's Palace Theater March 20 - 21.

American Theatre Guild's national tour of 'Finding Neverland' is a marvel of imaginative production values, excellent acting, and quirky-jerky choreography, making this 'making of Peter Pan' fantasy a joy from start to finish.

FINDING NEVERLAND, the Broadway musical that made us all believe in our imagination, premieres at the Spencer Theater for the Performing Arts in Alto/Ruidoso on Wednesday, January 8 at 7p.m.. Tickets ($79-$85) are on sale today at www.spencertheater.com or the Spencer Box Office at (575) 336-4800.

A perfect remedy for the summertime blahs.

    The Dutch Apple's production of A Christmas Carol is a great piece of festive entertainment.  Although it doesn't set out to reinvent the story in any significant way, many audience members will  appreciate the tradition and familiarity that it brings.

The classic novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is a holiday favorite. Whether in book form, as a film, or on the stage, the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and Bob Cratchit never fails to tug at the heart-strings and remind us about the things that are really important. Scrooge is helped along his journey from heartless miser to a kind and generous man by the ghosts of Christmas present, past, and future. A Christmas Carol opens at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre on November 15th, and we had a chance to hear about the production from Theresa Walker, Timothe Bittle, and Alicia McGinty, the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, respectively.

Despite some flaws in consistency and pacing, Sister Act is a fun show. I applaud Dutch Apple's decision to produce material more contemporary.
