BWW Review: THE BAND'S VISIT at The Paramount Theatre
by Jay Irwin - March 09, 2022
Dear Readers, I want to tell you a story about a show. You probably never heard of it because it’s not very important. Wait! No, it is important, and you should have heard of it.

by Kelly Rogers Flynt - March 06, 2022
HOLMES & WATSON at the Driftwood Theater has twists and turns enough to intrigue and laughs enough to delight.

It’s not a bad one either, for that matter, just kind of mediocre which made for a mediocre evening.
