Review: ADVENTURE SERIAL at Synergy Theater
by Kelly Rogers Flynt - February 05, 2024
ADVENTURE SERIAL combines elements of adventure stories with audience suggestions to create a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience. With a quest, a hero, a sidekick, a lovely lady, and a villain, the foundation is laid for an adventure that can take many twists and turns. The quick-thinking team at Synergy Theater can pivot on a dime to explore a tangent subplot without losing focus on the end goal. With laughs aplenty both on and off stage, ADVENTURE SERIAL is a delightful romp through a beloved trope.

Review: MY HOME ON THE MOON at SF Playhouse
by Steve Murray - February 05, 2024
