A stonewalled anthem of dependency, it's the second single off the quiet grrrl indie-punk band's newly announced Ow EP, out September 6. Frontwoman Mia Berrin explains: “'Honeysuckle' is about burying myself in other people to avoid having to deal with whatever-the-f**k is going on with me...It's also a song about rebuilding - identifying the wound so you can start to heal it.”

BWW Review: Stages St. Louis' GREASE Is the One That You Want (Oh Yes Indeed)
by Tanya Seale
- Jul 27, 2019
WOW is the word right now, as Grease, with direction and musical staging by Michael Hamilton, plays at Stages St. Louis! In this automatic, systematic, hyyyydromatic show, it's 1950s USA, and a new school year is beginning at Rydel High. A feisty Miss Lynch (Kendra Lynn Lucas) greets us as her students with the morning announcements (and theatre etiquette, too a?" thank you Miss Lynch), using a training clicker to keep us in check lest we get too rowdy. She knows her students, after all. Moving into the musical, we encounter Sandy Dumbrowski (Summerisa Bell Stevens) and Danny Zuko (Sam Harvey), who met at the beach over summer break and had a sweet little romance. Both will be attending Rydel for their senior year, unbeknownst to one other, so that makes for a scrumptiously awkward...

BWW Blog: Stone Bridge Players
by Student Blogger: Laken Burkhardt
- Jul 25, 2019
How many of us have had the opportunity to work in an unconventional theater space? To strip down bare, take away all the commodities that a traditional theater has, and perform a show in a unique space with a simple sound system and just a few par-cans? One local theatre company in Johnstown, PA has been doing just that. The Stone Bridge Players theatre company performs every summer right in the middle of downtown on the third floor of the local Flood Museum.
