Theatre Review: ‘The Threepenny Opera’ at the Center For The Arts
There’s a fascination with Bertolt Brecht, especially in times of political…shall we say…absurdity.

King James I was not amused. He also knew he wanted to control the spin. Since social … Continue reading Theatre Review: ‘Equivocation’ at Kavinoky Theatre
Theatre Review: ‘The Undeniable Sound Of Right Now’ at Road Less Traveled Theatre
Those of us of a certain age still sigh when we remember going to the Belle Star out in Colden. Or Central Park Grill. Or the original Tralf on Main Street. These were places where live music was king, but it was the atmosphere, the company, the whole gestalt of it all that made it … Continue reading Theatre Review: ‘The Undeniable Sound Of Right Now’ at Road Less Traveled Theatre
