Review: SCRAMBLING THE GOOSE at Washington Ensemble Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Apr 12, 2024
When you go to the theater, Dear Readers, you sit in silence and enjoy the show. You may laugh, or cry, or gasp, but for the most part, you keep yourself to yourself. (At least I hope you do.)

Well, Washington Ensemble Theatre has created a little piece, or rather several little pieces, in the style of the Neofuturists, with “Scrambling the Goose”, opening at 12th Ave Arts on April 26th. I was able to catch a rehearsal, and even with some elements missing, I can tell this show is going to be a blast.

Review: BEETLEJUICE at The Paramount Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Apr 3, 2024
Dear Readers, warning, I’m about to be a bit of a snob here. I know, big surprise. But I’m not the biggest fan of the musical, “Beetlejuice”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre. I wasn’t a fan when I first heard the cast recording and now having seen it, I can’t say my opinion has changed all that much. A bit, but not much.
