With “SCHOLL – The Bud of the White Rose”, Thomas Borchert and Titus Hoffmann have created an exceptionally complex and intellectually ambitious work. Following its world premiere in Fürth, Theater Magdeburg now presents a musically and dramaturgically refined production featuring a sensationally talented young cast. A significant chapter of German history is reimagined here as a highly philosophical coming-of-age drama, exploring the confusions and contradictions of extraordinary young lives under National Socialism.

Audiences packed into full houses for the final weekend of the festival featuring wilderness vlogs, an improvised telenovela, an angel getting their wings, and pole dancing trauma.

For the Staatsoperette Dresden, the German-language premiere of Stephen Schwartz’s classic “Pippin – Die Kunst des Lebens” is a triumph on every level.

On Saturday, May 23rd, I had the pleasure of seeing an exciting new show at this promising new theater, DEADLINE, a highly enjoyable modern comedic mystery by Don Zolidis. Directors Ben Brennan and Cheyenne Perez help bring out the best in this stellar ensemble cast of twelve, all of whom have an excellent stage presence and strong stage chemistry with each other! It is clear that this entire cast worked hard preparing for their roles and are having fun delivering them. The positive energy they bring radiates throughout the venue!

Dear Readers, the bio-musical is a tricky thing. Some love them, some hate them. For me, it all depends on if you have an affinity for the music of the subjects, plus it needs a strong book. And then there’s the current show from Village Theatre, “We Ain’t Ever Gonna Break Up: The Hymon and Parfunkel Musical”, a show bold enough to create a made-up songwriting duo and spend their time poking fun at the genre they attempt to fit into, the bio-musical. But, without recognizable songs to hook you, we’re left with the strength of the book. Luckily the book is hilarious, assuming you’re a fan of the well-crafted groaner. Which I am.

Since I was very young, theatre has been the thing that I orbit. I have always looked at the world through a theatrical lens, in both the way I view society and my position within the communities I am a part of, as well as in the media that I consume.

The Lion King swept the Tony awards when it was on Broadway, and even for this semi-skeptical theatre reviewer, it’s easy to see why.  It seems impossible to translate a cartoon about the lives of animals into a stage production performed by people, or at least, it seems like it will be corny.  This production, however, is completely unlike any other theatrical experience.  It hews faithfully enough to the story to satisfy the super fans, but adds so many new elements that it’s astonishing and delightful to watch.
