What is it about “A Christmas Story.” There’s no sweet holiday message, no fa-la-la, no chestnuts roasting. Fact is, there’s a good amount of humbug. There’s the hapless Ralphie and his dysfunctional family, the bully, the fact that Santa has an un-jolly disposition, and that the theme is predicated on one lad’s desire to get … Continue reading Theatre Review: ‘A Christmas Story’ by Rocking Horse Productions at Lancaster Opera House

Theatre Review: ‘Fahrenheit 451’ at Subversive Theatre Collective
Sure, sometimes it’s just easier to go with the flow. But when the everyday reveals itself to be kind of bleak, well, a bit of something different might be recourse.

Theatre Review: ‘Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime’ at Aurora Players

Late Friday night, somewhere between, say, 11:15 and midnight, the Metro Rail rolled and clanged down Main Street in front of the Alleyway Theatre, and someone inside the theater’s Main Street Cabaret yelled “Look out, don’t hit that train!” It didn’t make the late news, but it made a lot of people crack up. … Continue reading Comedy Review: ‘Weekend Laughs’ at Main Street Cabaret
Theatre Review: ‘Beginning Again’ at Alleyway Theatre
Whether there are five, seven or -- who knows -- twelve and one-half stages of grief over loss would be a debate in which few of us are willing to take part. After all, it’s not likely to be pretty, this talking of grief. And if we’re willing to take a guess, we would guess … Continue reading Theatre Review: ‘Beginning Again’ at Alleyway Theatre
