If the title – Murder Ballad - isn’t a dead giveaway, the narrator of this story tells you what’s going to happen in the opening number: someone is going to die. And that's how Road Less Traveled Productions is kicking off its 20th season. The other point of distinction is that this is RLTP’s first … Continue reading Season 20 For Road Less Traveled

Over time and all these permutations, the story has retained its intricate web of mystery, deceit, sardonic wit, … Continue reading All Aboard for a Murder!

MusicalFare Theatre’s reprised production of All Is Calm at Shea’s 710 Theatre is just as stunning as its 2021 staging. The same production … Continue reading All Is Calm is Elegant Theatre
