Review: LETTICE AND LOVAGE at Oyster Mill Playhouse

Review: LETTICE AND LOVAGE at Oyster Mill Playhouse

Central Pennsylvania: Andrea Stephenson • July 12, 2026

Borgersen and McIntosh are a dynamic duo as Lettice and Lotte, lighting up the stage with their energy. They are masters at creating and resolving tension in a scene, taking the audience on a ride that will keep them laughing throughout.

Review: 1776 at Musicals At Richter

Review: 1776 at Musicals At Richter

Connecticut: Sean Fallon • July 12, 2026

On Saturday, July 11th, I had the pleasure of seeing yet another phenomenal production at Musicals at Richter, in Danbury, 1776. Seeing this show at this outdoor venue on a clear night is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Robert Bria designed the set, which primarily depicts the inside of Independence Hall. Director David Halliwell, music director Andrew Gadwah, and choreographer Emma Kelly help bring out the best in this stellar cast! The stage chemistry and stage presence of this cast is so strong that the audience can easily forget that we are not watching an actual debate. I had never seen this show before and was quite impressed by how it draws the audience right in and consistently holds our attention. It was clear that the entire cast had fun performing.

Review: BEETLEJUICE at National Theatre

Review: BEETLEJUICE at National Theatre

Washington, DC: David Friscic • July 12, 2026

The current touring production of Beetlejuice, now playing at the National Theatre, is an odd theatrical piece –in that it is really more of an ostensible cult musical event for the generations in their twenties, thirties, and early forties. This in itself is perfectly fine, but I must admit that this musical had none of the edgy cult musical appeal of such marvelously innovative and witty cult musicals as The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Little Shop of Horrors. There should be some measure of real solid wit and interesting songs in even the most beloved generational cult musicals.

Review: 1776 at ACTA Theatre

Review: 1776 at ACTA Theatre

Birmingham: Luke Richards • July 12, 2026

Bringing the founding of the United States to life through humor, memorable music, and a talented cast, ACTA creates a production that remains captivating throughout, never losing sight of the heart behind the history.

Review: THE COVER OF LIFE at Mask & Mirror

Review: THE COVER OF LIFE at Mask & Mirror

Oregon: Dawn Sellers • July 11, 2026

Three young women in Louisiana in 1943 whose lives are upended when a Life magazine reporter arrives to tell their story and is changed by it herself. Funny, warm, and quietly devastating, a tribute to female friendship and the search for self-worth.
