BWW Reviews: A CHRISTMAS CAROL Plays a Modern and Moving Tune
by Elizabeth Peterson-Vita - November 26, 2014
In a holiday season crowded with just about every version of Dickens' classic imaginable, you can count on Trustus Theatre to stage a production that is totally fresh, modern, and compelling. Running at Trustus' main stage through December 20, this adaptation is penned by Patrick Barlow, who famously created the stage version of THE 39 STEPS, an astonishing piece requiring a few actors to play myriad characters in a sly, deft script that is overtly theatrical and physical. Barlow's touch is clearly apparent in his treatment of Dickens, as here we see one actor (Stann Gwynn) playing Ebenezer Scrooge, while four other actors (Scott Herr, Catherine Hunsinger, Avery Bateman, and Kendrick Marion) play all the other roles.

BWW Blog: Dominic Kelly - First Week in Studio
by Guest Blogger: Dominic Kelly - October 21, 2014
So our first week in the studio was beyond incredible. It's hard to put into words exactly what I was feeling those couple of days, but I can honestly say I've never ever felt that way making a record before. Not only is it inspiring for us to be making the record we want to make for a label that we love so dearly, but it's equally inspiring to be working in a studio that we put months and months of effort into building from literally nothing.
BWW Reviews: THE OTHER PLACE is a Riveting Destination
by Elizabeth Peterson-Vita - October 21, 2014
A startling and compelling play about journeys, literal and metaphorical, THE OTHER PLACE by Sharr White, is currently running at Trustus' Stage Door Theatre through November 1. This intelligent production, insightfully directed by Jim O'Connor, yields a mixture of mystery, pathos, and dark humor in its exploration of serious illness as manifested by behavioral aberrations. In order to preserve the revelatory nature of the work, no spoiler alert will be offered here, but suffice it to say that there are many layers, some rooted in biology, others in experience, that are unpeeled to yield answers and poignant resolution.
