BWW Review: Peanuts Gang Still Charms in Rooftop Productions' YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN
by Jeffrey Walker
- May 7, 2017
The Rooftop Productions effort does well by the Gesner and Schulz creation. Director Ted Ballard keeps things simple, just as Schulz presented his characters in pen and ink. Coupled with identifiably perfect costumes by Mandy Ken, and cartoon inspired, primary-colored set pieces designed by Dale Walsh, Ballard's cast is able to bring to life the wit and wisdom of the Peanuts gang.
BWW Review: A Festive CHRISTMAS CAROL Returns for A Holiday Run at Candy Factory Center for the Arts in Manassas

Scrooge, Tiny Tim, and the quartet of seasonal spectres - if these characters are back in action, it must mean A CHRISTMAS CAROL has returned to spread humbug and cheer in the Kellar Family Theatre in Manassas. The resident community theatre at the Center for the Arts, Rooftop Productions, is offering their annual revival of the Dickens classic to delight audiences young and old. As a matter of fact, at the Sunday matinee I attended, there were nearly as many youngsters as grown-ups, which is a wonderful thing to see at a live theatre event.
BWW Review: JULIUS CAESAR Embraces Mother Russia at the Hylton Performing Arts Center

'I will do so. Till then, think of the world,' Cassius says this to Brutus in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar is Shakespeare's gripping political drama about the fall of Julius Caesar in the hands of a group of conspirators led by Brutus and Cassius. Prince William Little Theatre's production of Julius Caesar doesn't take place in the play's traditional time period and this is certainly for the better. In this production, 'the world' that Cassius refers to isn't Rome, but Russia.
BWW Reviews: HAIRSPRAY Misses a Couple of Beats at Lanier Middle School
by Hannah Wing
- Jul 20, 2015
In 1960's Baltimore, Tracy Turnblad's dreams are as big as her hair. She longs to be a council member on 'The Corny Collins Show', her favorite TV dance show, and to meet (perhaps even marry) her long time crush, Link Larkin, a regular on the show. When Tracy hears that 'The Corny Collin's Show' is looking for a new member, she is determined to audition despite the worries of her mother, Edna. Tracy's pursuit of her dream leads her to realize that the struggle for equality is more important than ever before. City of Fairfax Theatre Company and Truro Anglican Church's production of Hairspray is at times 'a gas' (That's 60's lingo for a lot of fun), but its technical aspects are less than groovy.
