    Something Out of Your WILDEST DREAMS at Langhorne Players

    WILDEST DREAMS at Langhorne Players is a beautiful little stroll through the psychology of four role-playing friends and the chaos an extra person brings to their group.

    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. Indeed, David Ives’ 2010 erotic dramedy VENUS IN FUR draws inspiration from Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s “Venus in Furs” but is by no means an adaptation. Without giving […]

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

    I may run out of superlatives in this review. King of Prussia Players’ FOOTLOOSE is that good! First time director Tammie Reimer has set the bar very high for herself. The real star of the evening is choreographer Lauren McGinnis. For sheer exuberance and inventiveness, she has done a yeoman’s […]

    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.

    MUSICAL OF THE LIVING DEAD is Bloody Good Fun
