BWW Review: MAS COMMUNITY THEATRE'S ARSENIC AND OLD LACE IS KILLLER COMEDY at Carrollwood Cultural Center
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - October 28, 2018
Should you ever need to be a lodger in the warm and inviting Brooklyn home of sisters, Abby and Martha Brewster, and you are a male of any age, never admit to being someone without family ties or friends and even more importantly, no matter how delicious the wine is claimed to be, be a teetotaler. Even the tiniest sip of the sister's homemade Elderberry wine should never pass your lips, unless you want an unpleasant surprise and demise.

BWW Review: MAGICAL EVENING WITH JEREMY STOLLE at Straz Center
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - October 21, 2018
"I hope he does the song." The 14-year-old at our table in Jaeb Theatre was a huge fan of Jeremy Stoll's interpretation of Panic at the Disco's "This Is Gospel." In black suit and red tie, Jeremy Stoll came up to the mic with no introduction and launched into "This is the Moment," setting the stage for the incredible musical performance that would happen during the course of his intimate cabaret show at the Straz Center with his piano accompanist and equally accomplished singer/composer Arri Simon.

BWW Review: A PARADOX OF INSANITY: HAT TRICK THEATRE'S MINDGAME at Ruth Eckerd Hall
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - October 19, 2018
When describing Hat Trick's brilliantly twisted production of Mindgame, the only thought that came to me as the lights faded to black was "what the" and I word I cannot write in print. The manipulation was so intense, yet you don't realize the emotional roller coaster you were on until the last scene.
BWW Review: Everything Right With THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG at The Straz Center For The Performing Arts
by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - October 17, 2018
Is there a proper way to describe the best worst play ever? If I was in the audience for "The Murder at Haversham Manor," I probably would have walked out. Before the play even began, scenery was falling, the door wouldn't stay closed and the weary stage manager brought out duct tape.

by Deborah Bostock-Kelley - October 12, 2018
To explain the immensely talented ensemble that appeared in Calendar Girls at Powerstories last night, I am going to borrow a quote from Trish Farber as retired teacher Jessie. "I've never had a problem with age, my dear; it only has a problem with me."
