Davis Musical Theatre Company (DMTC), a beloved institution in the city, continues their season with a hilarious favorite, Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein.

by Courtney Symes - January 31, 2025
Sometimes you’re lucky enough to see something and know that it’s special. I had that experience last summer when I saw, Oh, Mary! on Broadway.

Review: THE WHITE CHIP Makes Its West Coast Premiere at B St. Theatre
by Courtney Symes - January 27, 2025
The B St. Theatre’s reputation for producing excellent theatre continues in the new year with The White Chip. Sean Daniels’s autobiographical piece about art and alcoholism is sharp, funny, and some of the best writing I’ve seen.
