Review: MARY POPPINS at Palm Canyon Theatre
by Charlie Thomas - Dec 6, 2024
What holiday season can be claimed as complete without a Disney musical, right? While one can tick that box with the opening of “Moana 2” at the local movie house, there is nothing like a live performance to energize those merry-making juices. Palm Canyon Theatre provides that much needed “spoon full of sugar” into their magically musical punch bowl of fun, “Mary Poppins”.
Review: SHUNNED at Palm Canyon Theatre
by Charlie Thomas - Oct 7, 2024
Upon sitting down to see Palm Canyon’s newest production, 'Shunned' written by Larry Parr, I was admittedly ignorant of what I was about to behold.

The nuanced performances of the cast bring depth to characters who are wrestling with the desire to honor their heritage while confronting personal dreams and societal change.

This year's Kids4Kids show at Ephrata Performing Arts Center is a beloved classic: Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's MARY POPPINS, JR.

That is until the practically perfect Mary Poppins drops in. She'll need more than just a "spoonful of sugar" to help this family take a dose of common sense. She'll also need a fair bit of magic and help from the loveable Bert, who is far more than just a chimney sweep.

by A.A. Cristi - Apr 5, 2017
TheatreWorks Silicon Valley continues its 2016/2017 season with a musical saga of immigrant America, Rags. From the creators of Fiddler on the Roof and Wicked, this exhilarating musical follows the journey of Jewish immigrants Rebecca and her son David, who find themselves navigating the teeming, turn-of-the-century tenements of New York. A soaring, tuneful score (music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Stephen Schwartz) illuminates this sweeping saga (book by Joseph Stein) of dreams and disillusions, love lost and inspiration found, and the heart and soul of the American character. It was declared "A winner, warm and witty. You are tempted to rise cheering," by The Mercury News. Rags will be directed by TheatreWorks Founding Artistic Director Robert Kelley, who notes "this production could not be timelier. As America debates immigration policies, what better time to present this deeper look at the newcomer's experience." Performances are April 5-30 (press opening: April 8) at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, 500 Castro Street, Mountain View. For tickets ($35-$86) and more information the public may visit TheatreWorks.orgor call (650) 463-1960.
