    60’s Reborn in Playcrafters’ HAIR

    “Give me a head with HAIR…Long, beautiful HAIR…” I am a child of the 60’s…born a little too late to actually participate, I still experienced the birth of the hippie movement, the social awakening, the drugs, free love, and the horror of the older generation toward the “misspent” youth of […]

    VENUS IN FUR: Life Embodying Art at Spotlight Theatre

    You don’t need to be familiar with the 1870 novella to appreciate what is currently playing on stage at Spotlight Theatre in Swarthmore.

    Dancing in KOPP’s FOOTLOOSE Makes the Show a Hit!

    MCT’s OLIVER Leaves You Wanting “More”

    Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist is a dark tale the purpose of which is to alert people to the evils of the workhouse. MCT has found in Lionel Bart’s version, OLIVER!, a tune filled, fun driven, and kid friendly musical delight. Several performers deserve special mention. As Oliver, Robert Lewis is […]

  • The Ritz Keeps ‘em in Stitches with YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, THE MEL BROOKS MUSICAL

    The Ritz’s YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (Franken-steen) plays even funnier today. It’s a show that keeps you talking about it and laughing all the way home. You know the obvious bits and telegraphed jokes.
