by Peggy Sue Dunigan - Oct 28, 2016


In a world premiere commissioned by First Stage and Oregon Children's Theatre, R.L. Stein's famous 'Goosebumps' series comes to stage life in Milwaukee at the Todd Wehr Theater.

Bernard F. Flynn Shares BARGAIN BASEMENT WAR HEROES
by Christina Mancuso - Dec 2, 2015


The United States Merchant Marines took a lead role in the country's war efforts during the Second World War. They lost the most lives among any other branch of the military. Yet, only over half a century later, their sacrifice seemed to have gone to smoke, slowly fading from the annals of history and reminisced only by their scant survivors. It is this sentiment that motivated author and Merchant Mariner veteran himself, Bernard F. Flynn to pen down 'Bargain Basement War Heroes' (published by AuthorHouse) as a tribute to the men and women who fought with their lives in battle.

BWW Interview: Ted Chapin Discusses CINDERELLA, SOUND OF MUSIC Tours, Future R&H Broadway Shows
by Matt Tamanini - Nov 9, 2015


For generations, RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN'S CINDERELLA existed only as a beloved television movie. First with a live broadcast in 1957 starring Julie Andrews; then in 1965 with Lesley Ann Warren, a version which was regularly re-broadcast into the 90s (which I grew up watching); and finally in 1997 with Brandy in the title role and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. However, in 2013, over 55 years after its first broadcast, led by Broadway's favorite princess Laura Osnes and crowned prince Santino Fontana, R&H 's CINDERELLA took its first Broadway bow. The show earned nine Tony nominations, running for nearly two years. Now, CINDERELLA's First National Tour sets up shop in its own little corner at Orlando's Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, with performances beginning on Tuesday night.
