BWW Reviews: A Wonderfully Delightful MUCH ADO at Great Lakes Theater
by Roy Berko - Apr 01, 2013
Boy hates girl. Girl hates boy. Boy overhears that girl is secretly in love with boy; girl hears vice versa. Other boy and girl love each other, but something gets in the way of their happiness.

BWW Reviews: Disappointing THE WINTER'S TALE at Great Lakes Theater
by Roy Berko - Sep 30, 2012
GLT's THE WINTER'S TALE is a disappointment. This is a difficult script to produce due to the many emotional and psychological levels which require a clear staging philosophy. Due to the lack of focused directing by Jesse Berger, the production never sets a clear course and leaves so much of Shakespeare's brilliance untapped. (more...)
