‘Tis a puzzlement! Why did playwright Yasmina Reza title her play GOD OF CARNAGE?  Though often skirting the dark side, it is a comedy. No one is killed. Audiences laugh as they see themselves in similar situations. This carnage is character assassination. The dictionary defines carnage as “the savage and excessive [...]

A warm glow emanates from the fireplace. The warm feeling radiates through the entire room of richly colored furniture, wood floors and accents, and classic 1920s era tunes. The comforting feel of the expertly designed set (by Dale Simon) is soon replaced with paranoia and raised tempers as two friends [...]

Langhorne Players is known for producing dynamic plays that reach outside the box of typical community theater selections. This month’s production of 100 SAINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW is no different. I also witnessed a new first in community theater hospitality that added even more to the Langhorne Players appeal: Producer, [...]

When it comes to news and entertainment, the line that separates real from fake is blurring more and more these days. Some people are more apt to believe breaking news that comes from the minds and mouths of comedians. TV shows that are supposed to show “real” life are on [...]

We don’t need a calendar to tell us summer is here. The warm weather and start of June is enough for many to pack up and head for the beach. For those who live for the sound of ocean waves lapping the shore or gazing upon the gentle slopes of [...]

What’s a woman to do after the passing of a beloved psychiatrist? Conversations with her mother only lead to mentions of bodily functions. Her husband is busy saving the world, one nose at a time. Now she only has the handy doorman to talk to, until an unexpected visitor turns [...]

A Langhorne Players production can be summed up in two words:  Intimate and Daring.  With only five rows of seats spanning across the length of the stage, every audience member is plunked into the character’s world.  Depending on the scene, you can get the feeling you’re eavesdropping on a very [...]

How did you prepare for the rapture that was supposed to take place last May, but is now apparently postponed to October? Some people threw rapture parties, some people prayed, some people went on with their lives just like any other day. Such is the story of END DAYS which [...]

Nestled between two white sand dunes, clouds gently passing by overhead, you can almost taste the sea air. It’s the perfect place to discuss life and all it encompasses with a bottle of wine and a couple of lizards. So is the story of SEASCAPE, by Edward Albee. What starts [...]

Watching the Langhorne Players’ production of MAURITIUS felt like being in a seedy off-Broadway theater, watching real method actors sort through a whole range of emotions. It was like finding a rare stamp among a collection of regular first-classes. It was the first time in a long time I got [...]

“I cannot be responsible for all the things I say…” was a line from ORSON’S SHADOW, a dark, manic-depressive play, produced by the cutting edge Langhorne Players at Tyler State Park, near Newtown, PA. That’s how I feel having seen the show. I am afraid of what will roll off [...]

The Langhorne Players in Newtown have a slogan on their logo…”Plays Worth Talking About.” That is certainly the case with their newest offering, EURYDICE by Sarah Ruhl. EURYDICE is a retelling of the classic tale from the title character’s point of view, and with some interesting additional characters. And the [...]
