Review: SIX at Orpheum Theatre Memphis
by AniKatrina Fageol - Nov 22, 2023

Review: LITTLE WOMEN at The Seattle Rep
by Jay Irwin - Nov 16, 2023
First off, Dear Readers, I want to wish the Seattle Rep a Happy 60th Birthday this week. They’ve had an impressive run. Having said that I wish I had a better Birthday gift for them as their current production of Louisa May Alcott’s classic “Little Women”, as adapted by Kate Hamill, was not all I hoped it would be. It’s a cute show with some good performances but an incomplete telling of this iconic tale.
