Some concerts entertain. Others transport. On Thursday, June 4, at Wildwood Park for the Arts, Satia Spencer and Melanie Hanna Ezell delivered the latter, treating audiences to an evening of stunning vocals and enough beauty to leave everyone floating out of the theater. Accompanied by Adam Savacool on piano and Ethan Ezell on guitar, the duo created a concert that felt equal parts recital, theatrical performance, and love letter to music itself.

Based on Tina Fey's (of Saturday Night Live fame) wildly popular 2004 film, Mean Girls wisely embraces what made the original such a phenomenon while bringing enough energy and personality to succeed on stage. Like many movie adaptations, however, it occasionally struggles to escape comparisons to the film, particularly when it comes to length. The original movie clocked in at a brisk 97 minutes. The stage version, with intermission, stretches close to three hours, and the second act occasionally feels every bit of it. That's a challenge in today's attention-deficit world.

Fresh off the release of their new LP An Ending In Itself, the alternative rock band Sleeping With Sirens has announced a fall headlining tour across North America with support from Rain City Drive and Shyeye.

There is no denying the extreme talent of the A CHORUS LINE cast. Director Brad Blake, choreographer Diana Deaver, music director Mark Ceppetelli, and assistant director Steve Belli combine their talents to help bring out the best in this first-rate ensemble cast! The hard work and dedication of all people involved is evident, with the entire cast bringing their A game to this show! They all have excellent stage chemistry with each other, a strong stage presence, and clearly enjoy performing. The synchronicity in dancing is breathtaking, enhanced by the impact of real mirrors as the back stage wall, creating the illusion of twice the dancers being on stage.

Recently, we had the chance to speak with Mark Ball, the Artistic Director of the Southbank Centre.
