BWW Review: EXCURSION FARE is a Dark, Fun Ride at Carrollwood Players Theatre
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - May 04, 2019

Heather Cleveland's costumes add to the feel that the place looks like something that time passed over. And perhaps it has. This way station for the hesitant houses souls unable to make the transition from life to the afterlife, whichever direction the train may go.
